  • Publication number: 20060219700
    Abstract: A pixel driving method is used in a liquid crystal display. First, a temperature t of the liquid crystal display is detected. An initial level, and a target level are provided. A corresponding coefficient an is looked up in a lookup table based on the initial level and the target level. An overdrive level OD is estimated by substituting the coefficient an and a function of the temperature f(t) into the formula: OD = ? n = 0 N ? a n ? f ? ( t ) n Thereafter, a pixel is driven by the overdrive level OD to reach the target level within a time frame. The lookup table comprises a plurality of columns and rows. The columns define the initial levels, and the rows define the target levels. Each of a plurality of coefficients an corresponds to an intersection formed by one column and one row.

  • Publication number: 20060040065
    Abstract: A method for surface activation on the metallization of electronic devices is provided. It uses plasma-immersion ion implantation and electroless plating to implant the seeds onto the diffusion barrier layer as catalyst for the electroless Cu plating to accomplish the ULSI interconnect metallization. It achieves electroless Cu plating in the deep 100 nm scaled line-width ULSI interconnect metallization by the Pd plasma implantation catalytic treatment. The method can fill the 100 nm line-width vias and trenches for gaining high quality electroless plated metal interconnects, and substitute for the traditional wet activation by SnCl2 and PdCl2 solution. For the plasma implanted seeds and electroless copper techniques, good Cu step coverage and gap-filling capability are observed in the trench and via metallization process with high adhesive strength. After thermal treatment, no obvious interfacial diffusion induced electric failure is found in the interface of the Cu/(implanted Pd)/TaN/FSG assembly.
