    摘要: A method includes forming top metal lines over a semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate is a portion of a wafer having a bevel. When the top metal lines are exposed, an etchant is supplied on the bevel, wherein regions of the wafer sprayed with the etchant has an inner defining line forming a first ring having a first diameter. A trimming step is performed to trim an edge portion of the wafer, wherein an edge of a remaining portion of the wafer has a second diameter substantially equal to or smaller than the first diameter.

    摘要: A driving circuit, a decoding circuit and a decoding method thereof are provided. The decoding circuit includes an oscillator and a decoder including a frequency determining unit and a decoding unit. The frequency determining unit receives a clock signal and a data signal which is corresponding to DMX512 protocol, and samples one slot of the data signal according to the clock signal to generate a sample number corresponding to a slot period of the slot. Then, the frequency determining unit outputs a reference signal corresponding to the frequency of the clock signal according to the sample number. The decoding unit samples the data signal according to the clock signal and the reference signal to decode data carried on the data signal. The decoding circuit is able to sample the data signal correctly without disposing any external frequency adjusting element.
