摘要： A method for forming a multi-layer semiconductor device (1) having a lower silicon layer (4), an intermediate silicon layer (5) within which micro-mirrors (10) are formed and an upper spacer layer (6) of silicon for spacing another component from the micro-mirrors (10). First and second etch stop layers (8, 9) of oxide act as insulation between the respective layers (4, 5, 6). In order to minimise damage to the micro-mirrors (10), the formation of the micro-mirrors (10) is left to the end of the forming process. An assembly of the lower layer (4) and the intermediate layer (5) with the fist etch stop layer (8) is formed, and the second etch stop layer (9) is than grown and patterned on the intermediate layer (5) for subsequent formation of the micro-mirrors (10). The upper layer (5) is then bonded by an annealing process to the is patterned second etch stop layer (9). After the formation of communicating bores (30) in the lower layer (4) and thinning of the fist etch stop layer (8) adjacent the micro-mirrors (10) through the communicating bores (30), openings (16) in the upper layer (6) and the micro-mirrors (10) are sequentially formed by reactive ion etching through the upper layer (6). Portions of the first and second etch stop layers (8, 9) adjacent the micro-mirrors (10) am then etched away.

摘要： Techniques for optimizing the placement and synthesis of a circuit design on a programmable integrated circuit are provided. The performance of a circuit design is analyzed after it has been compiled with different values for selected input parameters. The input parameter values that produce the best results for an output metric are then chosen to synthesis and place the circuit design on the programmable integrated circuit. In one embodiment, the values of the output metrics are averaged for all test compiles that share the same input parameters, but different seeds. In another embodiment, the compile with the best output metrics, as determined by the user, are selected. These techniques allow a user to automatically trade off compile-time to get a better-optimized circuit.

摘要： Methods and systems for determining whether a mobile radio terminal is on or out of a zone in a radio communications network. The methods and systems provide for generating a profile representative of the zone using measurements taken by the mobile radio terminal and/or the network and/or using predicted values. A comparison is then made between subsequent measurements or values and the profile to make a determination as to whether the mobile radio terminal is in or out of the zone. The methods and systems are applicable to any zone-based application including differential call charging, security applications, buddy finder services, mobile gaming and location based services in general.
