Title: The method of monitoring the overlay accuracy of the stepper and the device using the same
Inventor: PENG SHIN-TANG
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 1999-03-26
Granted: 2001-01-21
Abstract: A method and the device of monitoring the overlay accuracy of the stepper, mainly by designing a plurality of alignment marks for overlay on the reticle for the circuit layout of the exposure process of the initial layer, and let at least one alignment mark be overlaid with the neighboring stepping exposure pattern among the stepping exposure patterns formed on the wafer through the reticle by the stepper. Therefore, by monitoring the relative positions of the overlaid alignment marks, and from the formula based on the principle of trigonometry, the angle between the stepping direction and the reticle orientation of the stepper can be calculated. So the overlay accuracy of the exposed pattern of the stepper could be monitored when the stepper is proceeding the stepping exposure of the initial layer.

Title: Methods and apparatus for performing fast division operations in bit-serial processors
Inventor: MEEKER WOODROW L
IPC: G06F7/52
Filed: 1999-04-09
Granted: 2001-03-01
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for quickly dividing multiple-bit operands using bit-serial processors include strategies for eliminating the number of steps required to execute conventional division operations. According to an exemplary embodiment, a conditional subtraction step, based on a quotient bit computed during a given pass, is combined with a compare step which is used to compute a next quotient bit and which, according to conventional techniques, is ordinarily computed during a subsequent pass. Additionally, exemplary embodiments provide a zero/non-zero mask for denominator bits which extend beyond a current most significant remainder bit during a given pass. As a result, not all denominator bits need be considered during every pass. Advantageously, the methods and apparatus of the invention can provide approximately a 3 to 1 speed improvement as compared to conventional techniques.

Title: Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device
Inventor: TSUTSUMI KIKUKO
IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 2000-03-16
Granted: 2001-07-21
Abstract: While conventionally, a Co film is deposited by directional sputtering directly on a source/drain diffusion layer formed on the surface of an Si substrate while the substrate is being heated, a thin oxide film is formed on the source/drain diffusion layer and then, the Co film is deposited by directional sputtering while the substrate is being heated. By doing this, an inner Co-Si layer the composition of which is thermally unstable is formed and a Co-Si-O layer is formed on the Co-Si layer. After the remaining unreacted Co film and the Co-Si-O layer are selectively removed, a high-temperature heat treatment is performed, so that the inner Co-Si layer is transformed into a CoSi2 layer to increase the film thickness. The formation of the oxide film curbs the speed of reaction between Co and Si, so that a Co-Si layer of the same thickness as that in the wide region can be formed in the fine region. As a result, a CoSi2 layer with uniform thickness and sheet resistance can be formed.

Title: Data set to recording media registration and synchronization
Inventor: BUI NHAN XUAN
IPC: G11B27/28
Filed: 2000-03-30
Granted: 2003-11-11
Abstract: A system and method for precisely registering and synchronizing data sets on a recording media having a prerecorded servo pattern. The recording media is subject to continuing movement for reading and/or writing the data sets, interrupted by stopping at the end of a selected data set and restarting. During the continuing movement of the recording media, a detector coupled to the servo system continuously reads linear position registration data modulated into the prerecorded servo pattern. An interpolator interpolates the prerecorded registration data to provide precision registration information for the data sets. Upon the drive stopping the recording media, then back hitching the media and the movement restarting, selected read and interpolated registration information is provided. The detector again reads and interpolates the prerecorded registration data, and a comparator compares the again read and interpolated registration information to the provided read and interpolated registration information and any predetermined offset, and indicates a comparison match. A data formatter coupled to the comparator, responsive to the comparison match indication, synchronizes the reading and/or writing of data sets on the recording media.
