  • Patent number: 6713673
    Abstract: A structure of a speaker signal line having a middle filler layer, a plurality of transmission conductors and an outer coating portion, wherein, the middle filler layer is comprised of many hollow tubes. The transmission conductors are equidistantly spaced and wrapped over the middle filler layer. The coating portion is made of polyvinyl chloride composition. The middle filler lay is formed in the way of entangling to increase its strength and flexibility. The transmission conductors are spaced mutually in different layers and wrapped over the middle filler layer in mutual contrary directions. All the elements above are combined together by adding the outer coating portion, thereby, the inductive resistance induced by the transmission conductors equidistantly spaced in different layers and wrapped in mutual contrary directions can be mutually offset.

  • Patent number: 6583641
    Abstract: A gate dielectric breakdown test method is disclosed. The method includes performing a one step programmed VRDB test using Vcc voltage power source, gate current density for the corresponding ramped voltages are recorded. If the gate current density is found to be higher than a specified gate current density criterion, then the gate oxide is deemed to defective and is scrapped. And, if the gate current density (Jg) is found to be less than the specified gate current density criterion (Jc), then a differential gate current density ratio R=&Dgr;Jg/Jg for the corresponding ramped voltages are calculated. If the R value is found to be less than a specified differential current density ratio criterion (Rc), then the gate dielectric is considered to be robust, and if the R value is greater than the Rc value, then the gate dielectric is considered to be inflected. Accordingly, the voltage Vg can be effectively used for justifying the integrity of the gate dielectric.

  • Patent number: 6159864
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing gate oxides on a semiconductor wafer from being damaged by electromagnetic waves or particles generated in a plasma-related process. The semiconductor wafer comprises a substrate, a plurality of gate oxides positioned separately on the substrate, a first dielectric layer positioned on the gate oxides for isolating the gate oxides, and a conducting layer positioned on the first dielectric layer having at least one testing slit with a predetermined test pattern installed above each of the gate oxides. The method first performs a predetermined plasma-related process on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Next, an electrical test is performed to find damaged gate oxides out of the gate oxides on the substrate. Based on damages of the damaged gate oxides, the predetermined plasma-related process is adjusted to prevent gate oxides on other semiconductor wafers from being damaged in the predetermined plasma-related process.
