    摘要: A detection method of an optical navigation device is disclosed. The device is used for determining whether an object is lifted from the optical navigation device or not. The method includes steps of reading the detection image detected by the optical navigation device, calculating the image signal value thereof during non-lift status, and integrating a historical threshold value with the image signal value according to adaptive factors for generating an adjustment threshold value serving as the navigation threshold of the detection image. The historical threshold value is the navigation threshold of a former detection image of the detection image. A step of comparing the adjustment threshold with the image signal value for determining whether the image signal value passes the navigation threshold or not may also be included. If the image signal value does not pass the navigation threshold, the object is determined as in the lift status.

    摘要: A tapping detection method of an optical navigation module is disclosed. The module includes an optical sensor and a processor. The method includes steps of calculating a displacement quantity of an object contacting with the optical navigation module according to a sense image sensed by the optical sensor, and comparing the displacement quantity with a displacement threshold value. When the displacement quantity is smaller than the displacement threshold value, the method further includes steps of calculating a brightness difference value of the sense image, and comparing the brightness difference value with a brightness threshold value. When the brightness difference value is smaller than the brightness threshold value, the optical navigation module may be determined to be tapped by the object.

    摘要: An image processing method includes the following steps. The first step is utilizing a linear image capturing apparatus with odd number of image capturing units to capture image portions of object. Next step is taking the image portions which are captured by the first-end and the right-end image capturing units as the reference and comparing the image portions which are captured by the central image capturing units with the reference so as to correct and eliminate the overlapped noise. Next step is interlacing and re-constructing the processed image portions which have no overlapped portions as the integrated image.

    摘要: An interconnect structure for use in an integrated circuit is provided. The interconnect structure includes a first low-K dielectric material. The first low-K material may be modified with a first group of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and disposed on a metal line. The first low-K material is modified by dispersing the first group of CNTs in a solution, spinning the solution onto a silicon wafer and curing the solution to form the first low-K material modified with the first CNTs. The metal line includes a top layer and a bottom layer connected by a metal via. The interconnect structure also includes a second low-K dielectric material modified with a second group of CNTs and disposed on the bottom layer. Accordingly, embodiments the present disclosure could help to increase the mechanical strength of the low-K material or the entire interconnect structure.

    摘要: A protection layer is coated or otherwise formed over the interconnect structure. The interconnect structure includes a metal line (such as top and bottom metal layers connected by a metal via) and a low-K material. The protection layer includes a vertically aligned dielectric or other material dispersed with carbon nanotubes. The protection layer could include one or multiple layers of carbon nanotubes, and the carbon nanotubes could have any suitable dispersion, alignment, and pattern in each layer of the protection layer. Among other things, the carbon nanotubes help to reduce or prevent damage to the interconnect structure, such as by reducing or preventing the collapse of the low-K material or delamination between the metal line and the low-K material.
