  • Publication number: 20240102194
    Abstract: A plating system and a method thereof are disclosed. The plating system performs a N-stage plating drilling filling process in which a M-th stage plating drilling filling process with a M-th current density is performed on a hole of a substrate for a M-th plating time to form a M-th plating layer on the to-be-plated layer, wherein N is a positive integer equal to or greater than 3, and M is a positive integer positive integer in a range of 1 to N. Therefore, the technical effect of providing a higher drilling filling rate than conventional plating filling technology under a condition that a total thickness of plating layers is fixed can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 8768936
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for recommending information to users within a social network. The method builds a recommendation list with at least one two-tuple, where each two-tuple comprises a target user name and an information item and ranks the recommendation list by using two-tuples in the recommendation list as a basic unit. By selecting a two-tuple in the recommendation list, the user can recommend a corresponding information item to a user represented by a target user name. An apparatus is also provided by using a builder for building for a user a recommendation list comprising at least one two-tuple and a sorter for ranking the recommendation list by using two-tuples in the recommendation list as a basic unit, such that, by selecting a two-tuple in the recommendation list.
