Patent EP-1171913-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YEH EDWARD K
IPC: H01L23/532
Filed: 2001-01-17
Abstract: A damascene structure having a reduced overall dielectric constant and a method for forming such a structure is disclosed. In one embodiment, the present embodiment deposits a blanket coating (206, 306) of etch stop layer material over an underlying structure. In the present embodiment, the underlying structure includes a first region (202, 302) to which an interconnect will be subsequently be formed. Next, the present embodiment selectively removes portions of the blanket coating of the etch stop layer material. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the etch stop layer material is removed from above a second region (208, 304) of the underlying structure. In the present embodiment, the second region of the underlying structure will not subsequently have the interconnect formed thereto. In so doing, the present embodiment eliminates the presence of superfluous etch stop layer material. As a result, the overall dielectric constant of the intermetal filmstack is reduced as compared to conventional damascene structures.

IPC: C12Q1/37

Abstract: A method of determining glycated hemoglobin is provided, by which a
ratio of the glycated hemoglobin in a sample can be determined accurately
and easily. The ratio of glycated hemoglobin can be determined by
degrading a glycated hemoglobin in a whole blood sample selectively with a
protease to give a glycated hemoglobin degradation product; causing a redox
reaction between a glycation site of the glycated hemoglobin degradation
product and a fructosyl amino acid oxidoreductase; and determining this
redox reaction. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, in a whole blood sample, there
is a correlation between the ratio of the glycated hemoglobin determined by
this method and an HbA1c concentration. Thus, without determining the
glycated α-amino group as a characteristic structure of HbA1c, an amount of
HbA1c can be determined accurately and easily from the determined ratio of
the glycated hemoglobin.

DRSO capable of compensating the offset even if the
amplitude of the shortest run-length components is smaller
than the asymmetry of the reproduction signal DRSO. 
     This object is achieved by a method for compensating an
offset in an asymmetric reproduction signal, whereby an
offset compensation signal OFS is subtracted from the
reproduction signal DRSO, the offset compensation signal OFS
being generated by an offset compensator 11, comprising the
steps of:
   detecting a binary data signal NRZ from the asymmetric
reproduction signal DRSO; and   using the binary data signal NRZ for obtaining the offset
compensation signal OFS.
