Granted: 2000-01-11
Abstract: The invention discloses the memory updating history saving device and memory updating history saving method in restoring the contents of the main memory of the computer.system and the necessary function of saving messages in the process. In additiion to the memory controller, there is a previous image buffer controller for re-processing connected to the system bus. In case there is an access request from CPU in the corresponding ultra high speed cache memory, the previous image buffer controller for re-processing will respond to the command of the system bus sent out by the ultra high-speed cache memory for automatic start, and generate commands for reading and updating the previous data in the main memory. Thus by means of the cache controller for re-processing the previous data which is independent of the memory controller, the function restoring the state of the memory can be easily accomplished with the current system wihtout modifying the memory controller.

Title: Black matrix for use in a display device and method for making same
Inventor: YUJI NOMURA
IPC: H01J17/49
Filed: 1997-03-15
Granted: 2000-05-01
Abstract: The present invention provides a method to manufacture a thin-film black matrix (BM) having uniform thickness and  smooth surface. A thin film is formed by coating a forming solution, which contains black pigment particles, a photosensitive organic Si compound, and a high-boiling-point polar solvent, to the surface of a glass substrate, and after the thin film is exposed to light via a mask, it is developed and the glass substrate is burned to manufacture a black matrix. Since the photosensitive organic Si compound becomes SiO2 by the burning, the black matrix is remarkably high in bonding strength and excellent at optical characteristics. Its surface (a) is as flat as plate glass and has good luster. Conventional black matrices have uneven surfaces agglomeration 1. Stresses produced inside the film when SiO2 is generated by the baking of the photosensitive Si compound are eased by the photosensitive group of the photosensitive organic Si compound. The black matrix can be thickened, and resists cracking during manufacture even if its film thickness is about 25 mu m.

Title: Methods of decontaminating substrates with in-situ generated cyanides
Inventor: MOUK ROBERT W
IPC: G21F9/30
Filed: 1997-07-08
Granted: 2000-12-11
Abstract: Solid and liquid substrates, such as soil and solvents having radioactive metals or hazardous non-radioactive metals are decontaminated with the aid of cyanide ion generated in-situ to form co-ordination compounds with the unwanted metal contaminants. Cyanides are prepared by introducing into an ammoniacal liquid-containing slurry of a contaminated soil, or other solid or liquid substrate, a refrigerant compound, such as a hydro-chlorofluorocarbon which produces ammonium cyanide, which in-turn forms a complex with the hazardous metal contaminant for separation with the ammoniacal liquid. The process may also utilize solvated electrons to at least partially dehalogenate a perhalogenated refrigerant like diclorodifluoromethane (R-12). Process avoids exposure to potentially hazardous cyanides through in-situ generation, while simultaneously destroying unwanted refrigerants which are potentially harmful to Earth's ozone layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus which permit the in-process, in-situ, substantially real time measurement of the actual thickness of a surface layer of a workpiece, e.g., a semiconductor wafer. A probe is disposed proximate the outer perimeter of a polishing pad n a CMP table such that the probe establishes optical contact with the wafer surface as a portion of the wafer extends beyond the outer perimeter of the polishing pad. A reflected signal received by the probe is analyzed to calculate the thickness of the surface layer. Alternatively, the reflective characteristics of the semiconductor layers may affect the nature of the reflected signal; changes in the reflected signal can be detected to indicate when a metallic layer has been removed from an oxide layer. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a nozzle assembly having a plurality of fluid outlets may be provided to apply a stream of deionized water at the surface under inspection to thereby remove excess slurry and debris from the local region of the workpiece being inspected. A second fluid nozzle may be provided to apply a stream of deionized water to the tip of the probe tip to thereby clean the probe tip between endpoint detection cycles. The nozzle assembly may also include a third fluid nozzle for applying a stream of nitrogen gas to thereby deflect debris away from the probe tip during the endpoint detection procedure and a fourth fluid nozzle for applying a stream of nitrogen gas to thereby remove water and debris from the probe tip during the endpoint detection procedure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a display unit making use of current driven luminous element, characterized in adapting the driving method taking into consideration of TFT conductive type which controls the light emission of the luminous operating of the luminous element, not only lowering the voltage of and improving the display quality of the driving voltage, but when the second TFT (30) performing supply and cut driven current to the luminous element (40) is N channel type, a high gate voltage (V g cur) can be obtained by lowering the electric potential of the common feeder with reference to the electric potential of external electrode (OP) of the luminous element (40). In this case, when the first TFT (20) connected to the gate of second TFT (30) is made to be P channel and the potential of glowing potential holding electrode (st) is made as the reference, the lower potential of the scanning signal (S gate) and the potential of common feeder (com) is made to have the same polarity with reference to the potential of said potential holding electrode (st). Thus, within the scope of driving voltage range, it is possible to lower the voltage of driving voltage and improve the display quality by shifting the potential of image signal (data) for lighting to the direction in which the resistance during ON period of the first TFT (20) and second TFT (30) becomes smaller.
