Abstract: A method for fabricating a step-formed patterned layer is provided. First, a first patterned photo-resist dry film is formed on a first material layer. Next, a second material layer is formed on the first material layer and covers the first patterned photo-resist dry film. A second patterned photo-resist dry film is then formed on a second material layer, and the patterns of the first patterned photo-resist dry film and the second patterned photo-resist dry film are different and the second patterned photo-resist dry film further exposes the second material layer over the first patterned photo-resist dry film. Subsequently, the first material layer and the second material layer are partially removed by using the first patterned photo-resist dry film and the second patterned photo-resist dry film as a mask. The first patterned photo-resist dry film and the second patterned photo-resist dry film are then removed.

Abstract: An electrostatic discharge protection circuit. The electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuit utilizes inductors and resistors added to sources of multiple fingers of the NMOS transistor, which is triggered by some feedback circuit uniformly. When under an ESD zapping, a finger MOS transistor is trigger initially to snapback region owing to its layout or other causes, a voltage drop across the inductor or the resistor connected to the source of the finger MOS transistor is occurred and presented to gates of the other finger MOS transistors by the feedback circuit. Thus, the other finger MOS transistors are turned on.

Abstract: A PCI Express link state management system and method thereof is disclosed. The PCI Express link power state management system includes an upstream device, a downstream device and a link. First, the upstream device outputs a configuration request to the downstream device so as to change a device power state of the downstream device. At the time, the link is in a first link state. Next, the downstream device outputs a power entering signal to the upstream device. Following that, the upstream device outputs a power request acknowledging signal to the downstream device in response to the power entering signal and a time period is counting. Finally, the downstream device re-outputs the power entering signal if the link does not enter to an electrical idle state when the time period is expired.

The PCIE data transmission system includes an upstream device, a downstream device and a link. When the link is in a first link state, the downstream device and the upstream device transmit data normally via the link. When the upstream device outputs a turn-off signal to the downstream device, a time period is counted. The downstream device outputs an acknowledging signal to response the turn-off signal. If the upstream device does not receive the acknowledging signal within the time period, the link is transited from the first link state to second link state to remove the power of the link.

Abstract: A PCI Express system and a method of transitioning link state thereof are provided. The PCI Express system has an upstream device, a downstream device and a link. The upstream device and the downstream device transmit data packets to both via the link, but when the link is in a first link state, data packet transmission is forbidden. In the beginning, the link is in a second link state and data packet transmission is normal. The upstream device transmits a data packet via the link to the downstream device. A time period is counted when receiving the data packet. The downstream device asserts an acknowledge packet to the upstream device to response the data pocket. After the timer is expired, the link is transited to the first link state.

Abstract: An anti-fog panel includes a transparent plate disposed on the housing of an electric device to form a transparent area, where the display panel inside the housing can be seen, and generate a protection effect. A plastic thin film, which has a thermal conductivity smaller than the thermal conductivity of the transparent plate, is further adhered to the side of the transparent plate that faces the inside of the housing, to prevent the heat from transferring through the transparent plate. Therefore water vapor condensing can be avoided because the temperature inside the transparent plate will not be close to the temperature outside.
