    Abstract: A heat-dissipating structure for the expansion board architecture is provided. A fixing element disposed on the heat-absorbing substrate fixes the motherboard and the first expansion board. The heat-generating elements on the motherboard or the first expansion board are directly in touch with the heat-absorbing surface of the heat-absorbing substrate to absorb their heat. The heat-dissipating board extended from the side of the heat-absorbing substrate then dissipates the heat absorbed by the heat-absorbing substrate. The structure thus solves the problems that existing heat-dissipating structures occupy larger space and therefore cannot be effectively used in an expansion board architecture to dissipate heat produced by the heat-generating elements between the motherboard and the expansion board and that it is likely to have assembly tolerance. Using the structure can reduce the space and the assembly tolerance, but effectively enhance heat dissipation in the expansion board architecture.

    Abstract: A heating and heat dissipating multi-layer circuit board structure for keeping operating temperatures of electronic components is provided. The outer layer of the multi-layer printed circuit board is in contact with electronic components. The operating temperatures of electronic components are measured through by a temperature measuring circuit. When the operating temperature of at least one electronic component is lower than a default temperature, the heating circuits corresponding to the electronic components are enabled respectively to heat the electronic components through corresponding heat conduction elements. When the operating temperature of at least one electronic component is higher than another default temperature, the heating circuits corresponding to the electronic components are disabled to transfer the heat from the electronic components to the heat conduction elements automatically. Therefore, the structure achieves the goal of keeping the operating temperature of each electronic component in the corresponding environment.

    Abstract: A method of fuzzy control for adjusting a semiconductor machine comprising: providing measurement values from first the “parameter of a pre-semiconductor manufacturing process”, second the “parameter of the semiconductor manufacturing process”, and third the “operation parameter of the semiconductor manufacturing process”; performing a fuzzy control to define two inputs and one output corresponding to the measurement values, wherein the difference between the first and third values, and the difference between the second and third values, forms the two inputs, then from the two inputs one target output is calculated by fuzzy inference; finally, determining if the target output is in or out of an acceptable range. Whereby the target output is the “machine control parameter of the semiconductor manufacturing process” and when within an acceptable range is used for adjusting the semiconductor machine.
