Abstract:
The present invention relates to a passive wavelength division multiplexing device for automatic wavelength locking and a system thereof including an optical multiplexer, an optical filter, an integrated optical receiver monitor, and a tunable optical transmitter. Through wavelength locking that adjusts a wavelength of an optical signal, which changes according to an external environment such as a temperature change, into a wavelength of an optical signal having the maximum optical intensity, communication quality may be maximized by securing a stable communication channel, a locking time and a communication channel setting time may be reduced, and more robust locking may be guaranteed.

A semiconductor memory device includes a primary output driver which outputs a data signal through an output terminal; a secondary output driver which is connected to the output terminal and performs a pre-emphasis operation; and a pre-emphasis signal generator which outputs a pre-emphasis signal to enable the secondary output driver The pre-emphasis signal generator includes a auto pulse generator which generates an auto pulse in response to a transition of a control signal; a delay circuit which receives the auto pulse output from the auto pulse generator, delays the auto pulse by a predetermined period, and outputs a pre-emphasis signal; and a delay control unit which applies a delay control signal to the delay circuit and controls a delay amount of the delay circuit.
Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device can include forming an insulation layer using a material having a composition selected to provide resistance to subsequent etching process. The composition of the material can be changed to reduce the resistance of the material to the subsequent etching process at a predetermined level in the insulation layer. The subsequent etching process can be performed on the insulation layer to remove an upper portion of the insulation layer above the predetermined level and leave a lower portion of the insulation layer below the predetermined level between adjacent conductive patterns extending through the lower portion of the insulation layer. A low-k dielectric material can be formed on the lower portion of the insulation layer between the adjacent conductive patterns to replace the upper portion of the insulation layer above the predetermined level.
