Title: Control and adjustment method using brightness of light source as feedback
Inventor: TZENG REN-SHOU
IPC: H04N1/04
Filed: 2001-10-16
Granted: 2003-06-01
Abstract: There is provided a control and adjustment method using brightness of light source as feedback. The control method reads the image value of the light source received by the optical sensor for being compared with a default value. When the image value is small than the default value, the scanning operation of the optical scanner is immediately terminated. The adjustment method is applied in a transmissive optical scanner and sets a standard image which is the image received by the optical sensor when the light source is correctly positioned at the receiving optical path of the optical sensor. Next, the adjustment method reads an actual image which is the image of the light source received by the optical sensor. Then, the standard image is compared with the actual image, and the position of the light source is adjusted correspondingly. Finally, the light source is correctly positioned at the receiving optical path of the optical sensor.

Title: Semiconductor structures having a compliant substrate
Inventor: RAMDANI JAMAL
IPC: H01L21/20
Filed: 2001-11-05
Granted: 2003-05-11
Abstract: High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline materials can be grown overlying monocrystalline substrates such as large silicon wafers by forming a compliant substrate for growing the monocrystalline layers. One way to achieve the formation of a compliant substrate includes first growing an accommodating buffer layer (24) on a silicon wafer (22). The accommodating buffer layer is a layer of monocrystalline oxide spaced apart from the silicon wafer by an amorphous interface layer (28) of silicon oxide. The amorphous interface layer dissipates strain and permits the growth of a high quality monocrystalline oxide accommodating buffer layer. The accommodating buffer layer is lattice matched to both the underlying silicon wafer and the overlying monocrystalline material layer (26). Any lattice mismatch between the accommodating buffer layer and the underlying silicon substrate is taken care of by the amorphous interface layer. In addition, formation of a compliant substrate may include utilizing surfactant enhanced epitaxy, epitaxial growth of single crystal silicon onto single crystal oxide, and epitaxial growth of Zintl phase materials.

Title: Verifying method for validity of Bitmap test program
Inventor: HUNG WEN-JR
IPC: G11C29/54
Filed: 2002-04-08
Granted: 2004-10-11
Abstract: The present invention is related to the verifying method for validity of Bitmap test program. By conducting short-circuit or open-circuit onto word-line or bit-line inside the memory through the use of focused ion beam (FIB) machine, an abnormal state is intentionally generated in the data of the physical address corresponding to the word-line or the bit-line. When performing test onto the memory by using the Bitmap test program, if abnormal data is obtained for the Bitmap test program with respect to the electrical address at the specific physical address of the memory, the validity of the Bitmap test program is confirmed. On the contrary, when both states are not consistent with each other, offset correctness is then conducted onto the Bitmap test program until both states are consistent with each other.

Title: Method of forming bottom oxide layer in trench
Inventor: LAI SHR-CHI
IPC: H01L21/762
Filed: 2002-07-02
Granted: 2003-12-21
Abstract: This invention discloses a method of forming a bottom oxide layer in a trench on a semiconductor substrate. Firstly, an oxide layer is deposited along side wall and bottom of a trench, which is followed by depositing a nitride liner on the surface of the oxide layer. Then, the trench is filled with a photoresist material with a portion of the nitride liner at the top region of the side wall of the trench exposed. An isotropic etching process is performed to remove the exposed portion of the nitride liner and thus to expose the oxide layer underneath. A wet etching process is then carried out to remove a portion of the oxide layer located on the side wall of the trench and thus a portion of the oxide layer at the bottom of the trench is retained as the bottom oxide layer.

Filed: 2002-07-24
Granted: 2005-01-01
Abstract: A signal process circuit is provided for eliminating the noise of binary input signal and a demodulation circuit for demodulating the phase modulated modulation signal. The signal process circuit and the demodulation circuit eliminate the noise component of binary input signal at the highest level/lowest level, and demodulate the modulation signal accurately. After the polarity of the binary-transferred binary wobble signal is inverted, the binary wobble signal will be decided to either the highest level state or the lowest level state when the accumulation time of the binary wobble signal at the highest level state or the lowest level state reaches a preset time. After the polarity of binary wobble signal is inverted, the accumulation time will start to be accumulated. Once the accumulation time of the binary wobble signal at the highest level state or the lowest level state reaches the preset time, the accumulation time will be re-set automatically.

Title: Voltage-controlled oscillator presetting circuit and method for presetting a voltage-controlled oscillator
Inventor: OLIVIER CHARLON
IPC: H03L7/00
Filed: 2003-09-23
Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A circuit comprises a frequency synthesizing circuit with a voltage-controlled oscillator whose frequency is preset to a preset value. The voltage-controlled oscillator generates an oscillating signal in response to an input voltage. The frequency synthesizing circuit is configured to operate in a locked loop mode under control of an error signal representative of a phase frequency differential between the divided oscillating signal and a reference signal. A digital processing unit can disable the frequency synthesizing circuit to operate in phase locked loop mode. Once the synthesizing circuit is disabled, the digital processing unit determines a first and a second frequency of the oscillating signal in response to respective first and second loop filter input voltage values. The unit further generates a control value from the two frequencies, the frequency divider dividing ratio and the reference signal. The circuit further comprises a digital to analog converter configured to preset the loop filter input voltage to a preset value in response to the control value. Once the voltage controlled oscillator output oscillates at the corresponding input preset value, the digital processing unit disables the digital to analog converter and enables the frequency synthesizing to operate in phase locked loop mode.
