  • Publication number: 20180174870
    Abstract: A substrate processing system for selectively etching a substrate includes a first chamber and a second chamber. A first gas delivery system supplies an inert gas species to the first chamber. A plasma generating system generates plasma including ions and metastable species in the first chamber. A gas distribution device removes the ions from the plasma, blocks ultraviolet (UV) light generated by the plasma and delivers the metastable species to the second chamber. A substrate support is arranged below the gas distribution device to support the substrate. A second gas delivery system delivers a reactive gas species to one of the gas distribution device or a volume located below the gas distribution device. The metastable species transfer energy to the reactive gas species to selectively etch one exposed material of the substrate more than at least one other exposed material of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 9966831
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a controller and a controlling method of a switching power supply. The controller of the switching power supply is used for turning on and off a power transistor so that inductor current flows through an inductor which is connected in series with the power transistor. The controller includes a frequency-jittering signal generating circuit, a superimpose circuit and a first comparator. The frequency-jittering signal generating circuit generates a frequency-jittering signal variable over time. The superimpose circuit superimposes the frequency-jittering signal on a sampling signal of the inductor current to generate a superimposed signal. The first comparator compares the superimposed signal with a control voltage to generate an OFF signal for turning off the power transistor. The controller of the switching power supply reduces conducted electromagnetic interference by a frequency-jittering control on the sampling signal of the inductor current.

  • Publication number: 20180121392
    Abstract: An online system stores online documents, where each online document has a layout. The system creates augmented online documents by combining the online documents with one or more content items. The system stores client interactions with the content items, responsive to presenting the augmented online documents via a client device. The system receives a new online document. The system creates new augmented online documents by combining the new online document with one or more new content items. For each new augmented online document, the system generates a score based on one or more features describing the layout of the new augmented online document. The system selects a new augmented online document based on the generated scores and sends the selected new augmented online document for presentation via a client device.
