  • Publication number: 20240150896
    Abstract: A high-speed, uniform and high-quality surface treatment apparatus is described. The surface treatment apparatus includes a fixed hollow cylindrical chamber body and a rotatable polygonal prism inside the chamber body. Several flat-substrate holders are symmetrically disposed on the prism surface. The substrate holders revolve as the prism rotates. On the fixed chamber wall, several gas inlet channels, pumping channels and processing units are installed according to the symmetric configuration of the substrate holders. Then, as the substrate holders revolve, the surface treatment processes will occur periodically, including the injection of gas reactants into, the activation of gases in, and the pumping of after-reaction gases out of the processing spaces, defined by the substrate holders and the chamber wall. The substrates will therefore undergo many cycles of periodic surface treatment processes.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a memory access interface device. A clock generation circuit generates reference signals. A transmitter transmits an output command and address signal to a memory device according to the reference signals. A signal training circuit executes a training process in a training mode that includes steps outlined below. A training signal is generated such that the training signal is transmitted as the output command and address signal. The training signal and the data signal generated by the memory device are compared to generate a comparison result indicating whether the data signal matches the training signal. The comparison result is stored. The clock generation circuit is controlled to modify a phase of at least one of the reference signals to be one of a plurality of under-test phases to execute a new loop of the training process until all the under-test phases are trained.
