Abstract: The present disclosure provides a metal wire and a method for manufacturing the same. The method for manufacturing the metal wire includes: forming a metal bar on a substrate; forming a mask above the metal bar, a width of the mask being smaller than a width of the metal bar, and an orthographic projection of the mask on the substrate is within an orthographic projection of the metal bar on the substrate; and wet etching the metal bar to a saturation state under a protection of the mask to form a metal wire, a width of the metal wire being smaller than the width of the mask. The above method can form the metal wire with a high thickness and a narrow line width.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for dynamic iterative baseline adjustment. Such embodiments provide improvements to sensors requiring such adjustments, for example by better accounting for baseline drift and/or other baseline inaccuracies of a sensor. In one example context, a gas sensor is provided that performs such dynamic iterative baseline adjustment to better calibrate the output value of the gas sensor. Some embodiments include determining a set of measured values comprises a number of low-point measured values that exceeds a baseline updating threshold, determining an updated baseline value set, for example by determining an average low-point measured value for each baseline factor interval of a set of baseline factor intervals, and updating the baseline value set to the updated baseline value set, and optionally performing a corrective baseline algorithm on the updated baseline value set. The updated baseline value set may be utilized to correct subsequently measured raw data values.
