Patent TW-527798-B (TW)
Title: A scaleable low-latency switch for usage in an interconnect structure
Inventor: HESSE JOHN E
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-07-27
Granted: 2003-04-11
Abstract: A scalable low-latency switch extends the functionality of a multiple level minimum logic interconnect structure for usage in computers of all types, networks and communication systems. The multiple level minimum logic Interconnect structure employs a data flow technique based on timing and positioning of messages moving through the structure. The scalable low-latency switch is distributed throughout multiple nodes in the structure so that a supervisory controller providing a global control function and complex logic structures are avoided while the interconnect structure operates as a ""deflection"" or ""hot potato"" system in which processing and storage overhead at each node is reduced. The interconnect structure using the scalable low-latency switch employs a method of achieving wormhole routing through an integrated circuit chip by a novel procedure for inserting messages into the chip. Rather than simultaneously inserting a message into each unblocked node on the outer cylinder at every angle, messages are inserted simultaneously into two columns A and B only if an entire message fits between A and B. Messages are inserted into column 0 at time 0. Messages are inserted into column 1 at time t0+tc, where time tc is the time for a first bit of a message to move from column 0 to column 1 on the top level. Messages are inserted into column 2 at time t0+2tc, and so forth. The strategy prevents the first bit of one message from colliding with an interior bit of another message already in the switch. Contention between entire messages is addressed by resolving the contention between the first bit only so that messages wormhole through many cells.

Title: Inter-metal dielectric process made by O3-TEOS
Inventor: JANG SHIUN-MING
IPC: H01L21/76
Filed: 1998-10-31
Granted: 2000-05-11
Abstract: The inter-metal dielectrics (IMD) made of O3-TEOS is usually used in sub-micron semiconductor process. Combination of PECVD oxide underlayer/SACVD O3TEOS is generally used. However, the gate filling ability of such method does not meet the requirement for quarter micrometer process technology. Therefore, this invention provides a method for forming an inter-metal dielectric layer to improve its gap filling ability. A PECVD oxide/O3TEOS layer is formed on a substrate and interconnections. An argon-sputter etching back is performed and a spacer is formed on the sidewall of the interconnections, thereby modifying the profile of the interconnections. Then, a PECVD oxide underlayer/O3TEOS oxide is deposited and an inter-metal dielectric layer with good gap-filling ability is achieved.

Title: Stress-loaded films and method for same
Inventor: HSU SHENG-TENG
IPC: C23C14/50
Filed: 1999-02-12
Granted: 2000-09-01
Abstract: A method has been provided to counteract the inherent tension in a deposited film. A wafer substrate is fixed to a wafer chuck having a curved surface. When the chuck surface is convex, a tensile stress is implanted in a deposited film. Upon release from the chuck, the deposited film develops a compressive stress. When the chuck surface is concave, a compressive stress is implanted in the deposited film. Upon release from the chuck, the deposited film develops a tensile stress. Loading a film with a compressive stress is helpful in making films having an inherently tensile stress become thermal stable. Stress loading is also used to improve adhesion between films, and to prevent warping of a film during annealing. A product-by-process using the above-described method is also provided.

Title: High voltage cable interlock circuit
Inventor: NESS RICHARD M
IPC: H03K3/53
Filed: 1999-06-07
Granted: 2001-04-11
Abstract: A low level current travels from a source through the high voltage cable from the remote end to the local end of the cable in a pulse power circuit. The current is detected, and a signal is generated by a bias sensing circuit. If the low level current is not positively detected, no pulse is allowed to occur, preventing accidental damage and high voltage hazard. In some embodiments, the current is coupled to ground at the local end through an isolation inductor, commonly a secondary winding of a high voltage pulse transformer. The low level current then passes through a shunt resistor from ground to an input terminal of the source, thus completing the circuit and generating a voltage between the source input terminal and ground that confirms continuity of the circuit through the high voltage cable.

The workpiece Wb is attached by suction by a workpiece carrier. The mask M is moved, alignment is performed and the workpiece Wb is exposed.

Filed: 1999-07-22
Granted: 2002-08-01
Abstract: A method and system for protecting data on a rewritable storage medium, such as a hard disk. A predefined table identifies protected storage sectors in the hard disk. A software driver receives a write command for a specific storage sector of the hard disk and checks whether the specific storage sector corresponds to the protected storage sector defined by the table. If there is a correspondence, this write command is processed by a monitor program module. The monitor program module checks whether the write command is legal according to the status of the coupled operational system. When the monitor program module verifies the legality of the write command, the software driver performs the normal write operation, and writes data to the specific storage sector.

Title: Crossing network and method
Inventor: RICKARD JOHN T
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-05-03
Granted: 2002-07-21
Abstract: A crossing network that matches buy and sell orders based upon a satisfaction and quantity profile is disclosed. The crossing network includes a number of trader terminals that can be used for entering orders. The orders are entered in the form of a satisfaction density profile that represents a degree of satisfaction to trade a particular instrument at various (price, quantity) combinations. Typically, each order is either a buy order or a sell order. The trader terminals are coupled to a matching controller computer. The matching controller computer can receive as input the satisfaction density profiles entered at each one of the trading terminals. The matching controller computer matches orders (as represented by each trader's satisfaction density profile) so that each trader is assured that the overall outcome of the process (in terms of average price and size of fill) has maximized the mutual satisfaction of all traders. Typically, the matching process is anonymous and confidential. The matching process can be continuous or performed on a batch basis.

Title: Clock or watch having accuracy-improving function
Inventor: OKADA SETSUO
IPC: G04G5/00
Filed: 1999-12-07
Granted: 2000-07-11
Abstract: A register having a predetermined set value is provided in parallel with a counter for counting a basic signal generated from a crystal oscillator. The register and the counter are connected to a comparator for inputting a count signal into a time-counting circuit every time when the count value of the basic signal in the counter has reached the set value in the register. A signal based on the time-counting signal is sent from the time-counting circuit to a display which indicates time based on the signal. The time indicated on the display is compared with the standard time indicated by a television or the like. In this case, when there is a time difference between the display time and the standard time, a correction value, in terms of the number of seconds, corresponding to the time difference is input through an input unit. The input correction value is calculated in a computing circuit, and is set as a new set value in the register. A time-counting signal based on the newly set value in the register is output from the comparator. This improves the accuracy of the time indicated on the display.
