摘要： A capped trimming hard-mask patterning process to form ultra-thin structures can include depositing a hard-mask layer over a layer of patterning material, depositing an imaging layer over the hard-mask layer, patterning the imaging layer and the hard-mask layer, selectively trim etching the hard-mask layer to form a pattern hard mask, and removing the portions of the patterning layer using the pattern hard mask formed from the trimmed hard-mask. Thus, the use of thin imaging layer, that has high etch selectivity to the hard-mask layer, allows the use of trim etch techniques without a risk of hard-mask erosion or the aspect ratio pattern collapse. That, in turn, allows for the formation of the ultra-thin pattern with widths less than the widths of the pattern of the imaging layer.

摘要： The present invention relates to a lighting network control system and the corresponding control method. The control system consists of controllers, routers and illuminators connected via the serial connecting signal wires. The controller stores the control images and pictures. It transmits the serial control signal to routers and illuminators. The illuminators read in turn the serial control signal to extract the specific segment and transmit the rest to next device. A router reads in turn the specific segment from the control signal for its own stage. According to the requirements of the control signal, it transmits the control signal to different lighting network branches that connect with it. In the present invention, independent control to individual illuminator in the lighting network is implemented with comparatively lower cost. Arbitrary addition or reduction of illuminator(s) causes no affection to the entire system but to modify the signal data in the controller(s).
