Patent number: 6915458Abstract: The single-step debug card using the PCI interface according to the present invention utilizes a bus master to send out an REQ# signal to request issuing a control during the PCI bus cycle to be inspected. The address, data, command, and byte enable (BE#) of the bus cycle are locked and displayed through LEDs for single-step debugging. Through a switch circuit, a TRDY# ready signal is sent out. A device selection signal (DEVSEL#) is raised to HIGH at the same time the TRDY# ready signal finishes so as to notify the bus master on the single-step interruption debug card to end the cycle for single-step debugging.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2001Date of Patent: July 5, 2005Assignee: Mitac International Corp.Inventors: Chun-Nan Tsai, Hou-Li Chu, Chih-Hao Feng

Patent number: 5858623Abstract: A method for forming a patterned photoresist layer. There is first provided a substrate. There is then formed over the substrate a blanket photoresist layer. The blanket photoresist layer is then implanted with a first ion beam to form an ion implanted blanket photoresist layer. The first ion beam employs a first ion having a first energy and a first dose sufficient such that an ion implanted patterned photoresist layer formed from the ion implanted blanket photoresist layer will not substantially outgas when the ion implanted patterned photoresist layer is exposed to a second beam. The ion implanted blanket photoresist layer is then patterned to form the ion implanted patterned photoresist layer. The method may be employed in selective high energy beam processing of the substrate. The method is particularly suited to selective high energy ion implant processing of semiconductor substrates employed within integrated circuit microelectronics fabrications.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1997Date of Patent: January 12, 1999Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Chen-Hua Yu, Syun-Ming Jang, Tsung-Hou Li
