    摘要: A data storage device includes a non-volatile memory device which includes a memory cell array; and a memory controller which includes a buffer memory and which controls the non-volatile memory device. The operating method of the data storage device includes storing data in the buffer memory according to an external request, and determining whether the data stored in the buffer memory is data accompanying a buffer program operation of the memory cell array. When the data stored in the buffer memory is data accompanying the buffer program operation, the method further includes determining whether a main program operation on the memory cell array is required, and when a main program operation on the memory cell array is required, determining a program pattern of the main program operation on the memory cell array. The method further includes issuing a set of commands for the main program operation on the memory cell array to the multi-bit memory device based on the determined program pattern.

    摘要: A plasma reactor has a dual frequency plasma RF bias power supply furnishing RF bias power comprising first and second frequency components, f(1), f(2), respectively, and an RF power path having an input end coupled to the plasma RF bias power supply and an output end coupled to the wafer support pedestal, and sensor circuits providing measurement signals representing first and second frequency components of a measured voltage and first and second frequency components of a measured current near the input end of the RF power path. The reactor further includes a processor for providing first and second frequency components of a wafer voltage signal as, respectively, a first sum of the first frequency components of the measured voltage and measured current multiplied by first and second coefficients respectively, and a second sum of the second frequency components of the measured voltage and measured current multiplied by third and fourth coefficients, respectively. A processor produces a D.C. wafer voltage by combining D.C. components of the first and second frequency components of the wafer voltage with an intermodulation correction factor that is the product of the D.C. components of the first and second components of the wafer voltage raised to a selected power and multiplied by a selected coefficient.

    摘要: A plasma-enhanced process is performed in a single plasma reactor chamber for etching a thin film layer on a workpiece, using a hard mask layer including an amorphous carbon layer (ACL) overlying the thin film layer and an anti-reflection coating (ARC) overlying the ACL. The process includes etching a pattern in the ARC in accordance with a photoresist mask overlying the ARC, using a plasma produced from a fluorine-containing process gas, and then removing fluorine-containing residue from the reactor chamber and/or workpiece by performing a first transition step by replacing the fluorine-containing process gas with an inert species process gas and maintaining a plasma in the reactor chamber. A pattern is then etched in the ACL using the ARC as an etch mask by replacing the argon process gas with a process gas containing hydrogen while maintaining a plasma in the chamber. Thereafter, hydrogen-containing residue is removed from the reactor and/or from the chamber by performing a flush step by replacing the hydrogen-containing process gas with argon gas and maintaining a plasma in the chamber. The process continues with etching a pattern in the thin film layer using the ACL as a hard mask by replacing the argon gas in the chamber with a species capable of etching the thin film layer.
