Abstract: A method and processing tool are provided for trimming a gate electrode structure containing a gate electrode layer with a first dimension. A reaction layer is formed through reaction with the gate electrode structure. The reaction layer is the selectively removed from the unreacted portion of the gate electrode structure by chemical etching, thereby forming a trimmed gate electrode structure with a second dimension that is smaller than the first dimension. The trimming process can be carried out under process conditions where formation of the reaction layer is substantially self-limiting. The trimming process can be repeated to further reduce the dimension of the gate electrode structure.

Abstract: In a reflective lithographic projection apparatus, shifts in the image of a pattern of a mask in the scanning direction caused by variations in the position of the pattern surface of the mask along the optical axis are corrected by shifting of the relative position of the mask and/or the substrate in the scanning direction. Correction of the image rotation error may also be accomplished by rotation of the relative positions of the mask and/or the substrate about the optical axis. Variations in the position of the pattern surface of the mask along the optical axis may be determined by interferometers upon installation of the mask to the lithographic projection apparatus. The variations may be mapped and stored to provide control of the lithographic projection apparatus.

Abstract: A common mode noise cancellation circuit eliminates common mode noise generated by one or more high-frequency switching devices. A common mode noise waveform generated by the one or ore switching devices is capacitively coupled from the primary winding to the first secondary winding of a transformer. A set of cancellation secondary windings generates a common mode cancellation waveform, and cancels the common mode noise waveform because the common mode cancellation waveform is approximately equal in amplitude and opposite in phase to the common mode noise waveform. A triac control circuit receives an AC input and determines whether the AC input is within a range where multiplying of the DC voltage is implemented. If the triac control circuit determines the AC input is within the range, the triac control circuit transmits a triac firing signal to the triac circuit. The triac circuit charges a capacitor bank to multiply the DC voltage.

Abstract: A join process is disclosed for a wireless mesh topology network. In the network, nodes have multiple spatial coverage sub-sectors together covering a larger sector angle and a node can establish connection with other nodes located in directions covered by its sub-sectors. The join process adds a joining node to the network and includes having the joining node listen to sub-sectors at a specific receiving frequency for a defined time. Thereafter, the network node changes its sub sectors and its receiving frequencies according to a defined timing and sequence. Active network nodes transmit organized invitation data packets on defined sectors, frequencies and timing, based on relative location and relative angle orientation deduced from sub-sectors already in use for existing internal network communication. This reduces frequency interference in the network and reduces time required for the join process.
