Patent number: 7746131Abstract: A reset signal filter includes a power voltage detector and a reset signal detector or includes only one reset signal detector. The power voltage detector includes a comparators and a basic logic gates (e.g. AND gate, OR gate, inverter, etc). The reset signal detector includes a comparator, N flip flops connected in series, an AND gate, an OR gate, a multiplexer and an output flip flop. The reset signal filter receives a first reset signal generated by a power voltage detector or a Schmitt trigger buffer and utilizes N flip flops to register the signal level of the first reset signal for N clock periods. Then the reset signal filter determines if the first rest signal is changed during N clock periods, and outputs a second reset signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2008Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: NOVATEK Microelectronics Corp.Inventors: Cheng-Hsun Chan, Che-Li Lin

Publication number: 20030031535Abstract: A wafer positioning checking system used in a vertical furnace as found in a semiconductor manufacturing facility for manufacturing chips. The system utilizes a first sensor such as a photoelectric or laser sensor that checks the peripheral alignment of the wafers loaded in the boat. A second sensor is mounted on a robot having a wafer-handling arm for checking the position of a wafer that has just been loaded into the boat. An algorithm in a control unit responds to electrical signals generated by these two sensors to allow the loading operation to continue as long as the wafers are properly positioned and to controllable monitoring the wafers during a portion of the processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2001Publication date: February 13, 2003Applicant: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ming-Feng Yu, Kuen-Chyr Lee, Yi-Li Hsiao, Cheng-Hsun Chan
