Abstract: A control system for an electrolytic cell includes a voltage converter converting an input voltage into a decomposition voltage, a temperature sensor generating a sensed temperature, an electric power sensor generating a sensed voltage, and a control unit storing voltage-temperature characteristics. The control unit determines a voltage that corresponds to the sensed temperature according to one of the voltage-temperature characteristics, and generates, according to a difference between the voltage thus determined and the sensed voltage, a control signal which is provided to the voltage converter such that the decomposition voltage decreases along with increase in the sensed temperature.

Abstract: An electrolytic tank apparatus includes a tank body and at least one electrode set. The tank body defines an outer tank space for receiving a coolant, and at least one inner tank space that is surrounded by the outer tank space and that is not in fluid communication with the outer tank space. The tank body has a tank wall formed with a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet each communicating with the outer tank space. The electrode set is disposed in the inner tank space and includes at least one cathode plate, at least one anode plate, a cathode-connecting structure that is electrically coupled to the cathode plate, and an anode-connecting structure that is electrically coupled to the anode plate.

Abstract: A method for forming a planarized interlevel dielectric layer without degradation due to microloading effect is described. A first conformal layer of silicon dioxide is deposited overlying a conducting layer over an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate. A second silicon dioxide layer is deposited overlying the first conformal silicon dioxide layer. A doped glass layer is deposited overlying the second silicon dioxide layer. The doped glass layer is coated with a spin-on-glass layer. The spin-on-glass layer is etched back until the interlevel dielectric layer is planarized. The microloading effects from the etching back of the spin-on-glass layer of the interlevel dielectric layer are lower than microloading effects in a conventional interlevel dielectric layer.
