  • Patent number: 6943089
    Abstract: A hemispherical grain (HSG) formation process for enlarging the surface area of a capacitor electrode, wherein stable, defect-free HSG, having outstanding selectivity, is formed. An amorphous silicon layer, which constitutes a capacitor electrode, is formed on an Si wafer, on which is formed a silicon-based dielectric layer, which constitutes an interlevel dielectric layer. An HSG layer, in which there exists practically no defects, is formed on the amorphous silicon layer at a crystal nuclei formation temperature of under 620° C. Further, in accordance with properly controlling the crystal nuclei formation temperature, and the flow rate of monosilane (SiH4), which is supplied for crystal nuclei formation, it is possible to furnish selectivity such that HSG nuclei are formed solely on the amorphous silicon layer, without being formed on a silicon-based dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 6804217
    Abstract: A CDMA mobile station apparatus receives a spread control signal including a non-orthogonal spread signal generated using a non-orthogonal spreading code which is non-orthogonal with a data signal spreading code and a spread data signal produced by spreading a data signal with a data signal spreading code from a base station apparatus via a radio link. The mobile station apparatus has a non-orthogonal spread signal generating unit for generating a non-orthogonal spread signal whose phase rotation caused by a radio transmission path is compensated for using a non-orthogonal spreading code, a subtracting unit for subtracting the generated non-orthogonal spread signal from the received signal to generate a difference signal, and a data signal demodulating unit for demodulating the difference signal into a data signal. The mobile station apparatus is capable of canceling an entire spread broadcasting signal, processing a band-limited signal, or processing a spreading code with a suppression coefficient.

  • Patent number: 6768725
    Abstract: The present invention includes a receiver, an intermittent frame synchronizing method and a portable remote terminal which can reduce power consumption and cost, while the accuracy of generation of intermittent reception timings is maintained. For example, in the receiver, the intermittent frame synchronizing method and the portable remote terminal, averaging member, in which separate values are set in two decoders, divides clock signals transmitted from slow clock generating member as a time measuring clock with separate periods, and averages the clock signals to output slot timing signals. The slot timing signals are counted by a saving counter, which outputs a coincidence signal when the constant value is reached. Upon receiving the coincidence signal, receiving member performs reception.

  • Patent number: 6742977
    Abstract: An unprocessed substrate is conveyed to a film-processing chamber at the same time a processed substrate is conveyed to a substrate preparation chamber, reducing the substrate processing cycle, thereby increasing the yield per unit time. The substrate preparation chamber has a two-tiered structure for receiving processed substrates and unprocessed substrates. A two-tiered transfer robot allows the substrates to be removed or placed into the preparation and process chambers at the same time, thus decreasing the cycle time for processing a substrate.
