Abstract: A method of applying a multi-layer plasma resistant coating on an article comprises performing plating or ALD to form a conformal first plasma resistant layer on an article, wherein the conformal first plasma resistant layer is formed on a surface of the article and on walls of high aspect ratio features in the article. The conformal first plasma resistant coating has a porosity of approximately 0% and a thickness of approximately 200 nm to approximately 1 micron. One of electron beam ion assisted deposition (EB-IAD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), aerosol deposition or plasma spraying is then performed to form a second plasma resistant layer that covers the conformal first plasma resistant layer at a region of the surface but not at the walls of the high aspect ratio features.

Abstract: A frequency synthesizer comprising a reference oscillator configured to generate a first clock signal with a reference frequency and a divider controller configured to receive the first clock signal, a second clock signal, and a multiplier value. The divider controller is configured to obtain a ratio of a frequency of the first clock signal to a frequency of the second clock signal and divide the resulting ratio by the multiplier value to obtain controller output value. A divider is configured to receive the first clock signal and controller output value and output an output clock signal with a frequency equal to the frequency of the first clock signal divided by the controller output value.

Abstract: A level shifter operating between a first power domain under a first supply voltage and a second power domain under a second supply voltage is provided. The level shifter includes a latch, formed by a first transistor and a second transistor, configured to store data and operate in the second power domain. The level shifter further includes a third transistor configured to be biased at the first supply voltage, and a current source configured to generate a current in response to the first supply voltage. The current flows towards the latch, and the magnitude of the current is positively correlated with the first supply voltage. In response to a first asserted state of the first supply voltage, the third transistor dominates over the current source in toggling the data and, in response to a second asserted state of the first supply voltage, the current source dominates over the third transistor in toggling the data. The second asserted state is lower in voltage level than the first asserted state.
