Abstract: A readout apparatus and a multi-channel readout apparatus for a touch panel are provided to integrate different types of readout circuit. The readout apparatus set to a first mode reads the touch panel with a small amount of charges through an integrator. The readout apparatus set to a second mode reads a sensing current of a current type touch panel through a current to voltage converting unit and an inverting amplifier, so as to save a chip area. The multi-channel readout apparatus set to a third mode applies multiple channels to alternatively share an integrator to read the touch panel with a large amount of charges, so that an amount of feedback capacitors (integral capacitors) having a great area can be greatly reduced. Therefore, readout apparatus of the present invention can not only reduce a chip area, but can also be applied to various types of the touch panel.

Abstract: In a film-forming process with a capacitively-coupled plasma (CCP) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) device, pulse control is performed on a low-frequency radio-frequency power source. During the pulse control, an ON time and an OFF time form one period. Furthermore, in the pulse control, a time interval between a time period from the moment that the electric power supply is stopped till the electron density decreases to a residual plasma threshold capable of causing an arc discharge and a time period from the moment that the electric power supply is stopped till the density of high-temperature electrons decreases to a specific plasma state serves as the OFF time; a saturation time during the rising process of the density of the high-temperature electrons in the plasma after the electric power supply is started serves as an upper limit of the ON time; and electric power is intermittently supplied under the above conditions.
