  • Publication number: 20240097950
    Abstract: A transmission device includes an encoding circuit and a modulation circuit. The encoding circuit is configured to encode first and second data stream portions of a transmission data stream in accordance with first and second encoding protocols, respectively, convert each M bit of the encoded second data stream portion into a high-resolution value of N bit, and generate a baseband data stream including the encoded first data stream portion and the converted second data stream portion. The modulation circuit is configured to perform a 2N-level pulse amplitude modulation with respect to each N bit of the encoded first data stream portion in the baseband data stream and each N bit of the converted second data stream portion in the baseband data stream, to generate a transmission signal. M is an integer equal to or greater than 1 and N is an integer greater than M.

  • Publication number: 20240068068
    Abstract: A substrate processing device reduces a surface of a substrate. The surface includes a metal layer. The substrate processing device includes a chamber body, a hot plate, a plasma supply unit, and a controller. The hot plate is accommodated in the chamber body and configured to set the substrate. The plasma supply unit is configured to supply plasma of a hydrogen gas to the chamber body. The controller is configured to execute a degassing process and a reducing process. In the degassing process, the controller drives the hot plate to remove an adsorbate from the surface before driving the plasma supply unit. In the reducing process, the controller drives the plasma supply unit after driving the hot plate to supply the plasma to the surface that has undergone the degassing process.
