Patent EP-1139339-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MA BYUNG-IN
IPC: G11B7/1353
Filed: 2001-03-19
Abstract: An apparatus for generating a seek direction detecting
signal for an optical pickup for determining the relative
position of the center of an optical spot focused on an
optical disk with respect to the center of a disk track,
is disclosed. The apparatus focuses a main beam and a
sub-beam having a predetermined aberration in the radial
direction on a track of the optical disk by a light
dividing unit. The main beam is focused on a first
optical detector (25), and the sub-beam is focused on a
second optical detector (27) neighboring the first optical
detector (25). The second optical detector (27) is
divided into three or four portions in a direction
corresponding to the radial direction of the optical disk,
is divided into two portions in a direction corresponding
to the tangential direction of the optical disk, has six
or eight separate areas. The portions of the second
optical detector (27) receive the portions of the sub-beam
and convert the received optical signals into electrical
signals independently. A signal processing portion
includes a first signal processing portion (30) for
summing and differentiating the signals output from the
first optical detector (25), and for detecting a track
error signal; and a second signal processing portion (40)
for generating a seek direction detecting signal from the
signals detected by the second optical detector (27).

Abstract: A process for removing residue from the interior of a semiconductor process
chamber using molecular fluorine gas (F 2 ) as the principal precursor reagent. In one embodiment
a portion of the molecular fluorine is decomposed in a plasma to produce atomic fluorine, and the
resulting mixture of atomic fluorine and molecular fluorine is supplied to the chamber whose
interior is to be cleaned. In another embodiment the molecular fluorine gas cleans the
semiconductor process chamber without any plasma excitation. Molecular fluorine gas has the
advantage of not being a global warming gas, unlike fluorine-containing gas compounds
conventionally used for chamber cleaning such as NF 3 , C 2 F 6  and SF 6 .

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing the use and availability of storage space in a video data recording system. An intelligent disk recording and management system selectively assigns tags to determine the manner and/or priority of recording programs onto a storage device and the priority of maintaining the programs on the storage device once the programs are recorded. The tags are automatically assigned based on known user preferences or are assigned by the viewer, and can be modified once a program is replayed. The tags allow the system to automatically determine whether or not to record over a previously recorded program and which previously recorded program to record over so as to allow the storage device to be more efficiently and optimally used. The system further includes an interface that provides improved assistance and explanations that relate to the recording of programs and the maintaining of the recorded programs on the storage device.

Abstract: A semiconductor package substrate is provided, which can
meet the move toward high integration of semiconductors. A
nickel layer is plated on an electroplated copper foil to form a
wiring pattern. An LSI chip is mounted on the copper foil, and
terminals of the LSI chip and the wiring pattern are connected by
wire bonding, followed by sealing with a semiconductor-sealing
epoxy resin. Only the copper foil is dissolved away with an alkali
etchant to expose nickel. With a nickel stripper having low
copper-dissolving power, the nickel layer is removed to expose
the wiring pattern. A solder resist is coated, and a pattern is
formed in such a way that connecting terminal portions are
exposed. Solder balls are placed at the exposed portions of the
wiring pattern and are then fused. The wiring pattern is
connected to an external printed board via the solder balls.
