Abstract: A target for sputtering includes a sputtering material layer having tilt surfaces. Sputtering material particles are emitted from the tilt surfaces in directions of their normals. Consequently, even though the target and a substrate are arranged approximately parallel and the axes of the two are coincident with each other, the particles are injected onto the substrate from oblique directions.

Abstract: An electrical contact assembly includes a first module having a first set of electrical contacts, a second module having a second set of electrical contacts, a shape generating module, and a clamping arrangement for clamping the first, second and shape generating modules together. The shape generating module imparts a desired shape to the second module for urging the second set of electrical contacts toward the first set of electrical contacts, such that clamping the modules together results in a positive contact force between the first and second sets of electrical contacts that is substantially uniform across the sets of electrical contacts. The shape generating module includes a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer and a shape producing layer disposed between the first and second insulating layers. The shape producing layer includes an adhesive that flows and cures upon application of a heat treatment to produce the desired shape.

Abstract: A data relay device transmitting received unit data has an external interface unit, a main control unit, where the received unit data are received from outside the data relay device and transmitted to the corresponding destination memory not through the main control unit. The external interface unit is equipped with memory in the external interface, the threshold setting unit, and the external control unit. The main control unit receiving the threshold receiving notice reads the information in the corresponding field of the received unit data stored in the memory in the external interface and judges whether the received unit data should be transmitted, or not. The main control unit deletes the received unit data judged to be unnecessary before the transmitting.

Abstract: An improved error-diffusion image processing system and the method thereof adopt the block reading mechanism to replace the row reading mechanism employed in the conventional error-diffusion image processing. This can greatly reduce the memory space required for image processing and increase the operational efficiency. The problem of gaps existing in the block reading mechanism is solved by adding a required error sum (BEsum) in a summed pixel range according to specific position conditions of each block.

Abstract: In a chuck adapted for connection to a processing machine and composed of a connecting portion adapted to extend into the processing machine so as to securely engage the processing machine, a head adapted for holding a blade, and a flange sandwiched between the head and the connecting portion thereby/defining a gap between the flange and a bottom face of the processing machine, the improvement including: a shoulder formed on a top face of the flange portion; an annular pad supported on the shoulder of the flange portion and adapted to be mounted around the connecting portion; and a secondary annular pad mounted on and supported by the shoulder of the flange portion, and sandwiched between the shoulder and the annular pad, whereby the gap between the flange portion and a bottom face of the processing machine is compensated for by existence of the annular pad.

Abstract: There is provided an etching method in which a protective film existing in an etching-destined region of a substrate structure is removed by means of ICP-RIE to form an exposure region of the principal surface of the substrate. The substrate structure comprises a substrate, a protective film formed on the substrate, a photoresist layer formed on the protective film, and a hole formed throughout the photoresist layer. The hole comprises an opening formed in the photoresist layer surface and a hollow linked to the opening in the thickness direction of the photoresist layer and reaching the protective film. ICP-RIE is performed under conditions such that (1) ICP power is 20 to 100 W, (2) RIE power is 5 to 50 W, and (3) the pressure in the etching chamber is 1 to 100 mTorr.

Abstract: An angle de-skew device and the method thereof are used in an image processing system to rotate a skewed image with respect to a reference point as a rotated center. First and second accumulator circuits respectively are used to accumulate first and second offsets for the X coordinates and Y coordinates of the first pixel in the skewed image, and respectively output the sums into the image processing system. A counter is connected to the two accumulator circuits to control the number of accumulation times.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an active layer thin film by a metal-chalcogenide precursor solution is provided, including the steps of: synthesizing a metal-chalcogenide precursor containing benzyl or benzyl derivative; dissolving the precursor in a solvent to produce a precursor solution, wherein a chalcogen element or compound can be added to the precursor solution to adjust the molar ratio of metal ion to chalcogen; and then applying the precursor solution onto a substrate in a specific coating manner, to form a film of the metal-chalcogenide after a curing process. Thereby, the existing method wherein an amorphous silicon active layer film is fabricated by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is replaced.

The characteristic of peer gateway of the IPSec is applied to divide the original SPD into multiple smaller peer-based SPDs, and build a peer table corresponding to the peer-based SPDs. When it is required to search the policies in the database, the peer-based SPD according to the present invention can be directly used so as to save the time of data searching.
