Title: A process capable of contacting window automatically
Inventor: LI YU-HUA
IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 1999-01-08
Granted: 2000-06-21
Abstract: This invention aims to contact window automatically. It includes the following procedures: a isolate level and a first electric conducting level are formed sequentially onto a substrate. First dielectrics and a hard mask are formed respectively after the first electric conducting level pattern is defined. A process capable of contacting window automatically by photolithographic and etching technology is created. Next, the second dielectric is formed. A third dielectric and a protecting level are formed sequentially. Etching process are performed on the protecting level, third and second dielectrics, respectively. The protecting level is etched off in order to form a second electric conducting level consequently. The effects and advantages of this invention include the complete isolation without any electric leakage. It also improves the ratio of non-defective products and reduces the production cost.

Title: Method of making shallow well MOSFET structure
Inventor: KOCON CHRISTOPHER BOGUSLAW
IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 1999-08-24
Granted: 2001-09-11
Abstract: A shallow well MOSFET, including an epitaxial layer is subjected to a blanket implant of impurities, so as to form a very shallow well region that defines a PN junction with the epitaxial layer. A field oxide layer is selectively formed on a portion of the shallow well region, and a gate insulator layer is formed on the exposed portion of the shallow well region contiguous with the field insulator layer. A polycrystalline silicon spacer-gate layer is non-selectively deposited on the field insulator layer and the gate insulator layer, forming a multiple thickness implant mask. The structure is subjected to one or more high energy impurity implants, to overdose and convert a portion of the shallow well region to the conductivity of the epitaxial layer. This extends the PN junction up to the surface of the well region beneath the gate insulator layer, to define the length of the channel between the side edge of the field oxide layer and the extended PN junction. A polysilicon planarization layer is then non-selectively formed on the spacer layer, followed by a planarization etch, to define the thickness of the gate layer. The field insulator layer is then stripped, and source and drain regions are formed.

Title: Driving method and circuit of plasma display
Inventor: LO LIH-SHANG
IPC: G09G3/28
Filed: 1999-08-30
Granted: 2003-04-11
Abstract: There is provided a driving method and circuit of plasma display. In order to reduce background light for improving the light contrast of screen, and lower the power burden of the operation in the clear period, the driving method divides all rows of plasma display units of the plasma display into a plurality of sets (such as two sets of odd row plasma display unit and even row plasma display units). Each frame is formed by a plurality of sub-frames arranged in a predetermined order. A driving signal having a writing period, a holding period and a clear period are used to drive the plural rows of plasma display units of the plasma display, thereby displaying the plurality of sub-frames. In the clear period, clear signals are inputted based on the predetermined order of the sub-frames to part of the plural sets for sequentially clearing the plural rows of plasma display units. Accordingly, the brightness of the background light can be decreased (due to the decrement of illuminating cells that illuminates caused by discharging between electrodes at the same time), and the light contrast of the screen can be greatly increased (the contrast of the screen is equal to the brightness of the screen divided by the background brightness). In addition, because only one set of plasma display unit is cleared in each clear period, the load on the driving signal can be lowered.

For each pixel prior to color calculation, most of the hidden pixels have already been removed. This calculation method improves the requirements for memory access concerning stripe graphics and alpha test and enhances the efficiency of display system.
