  • Patent number: 11955382
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for forming a reverse selective etch stop layer are disclosed. Some embodiments of the disclosure provide interconnects with lower resistance than methods which utilize non-selective (e.g., blanket) etch stop layers. Some embodiments of the disclosure utilize reverse selective etch stop layers within a subtractive etch scheme. Some embodiments of the disclosure selectively deposit the etch stop layer by passivating the surface of the metal material.

  • Patent number: 11397417
    Abstract: A robotic system automatically aligns, and/or tests alignment of, a lens to a digital camera or other workpiece. The system includes an optical target, an intermediate lens and a plurality of collimators peripheral to the intermediate lens to accommodate a wide range of fields of view of the workpieces, without requiring changes in equipment hardware. When manufacturing or testing a workpiece with a relatively narrow field of view, the entire field of view of the workpiece can be filled with a view of the target through the intermediate lens, and the collimators need not be used. However, when manufacturing or testing a camera having a relatively large field of view, the intermediate lens is used to fill a central portion of the field of view with an image of the target, and the collimators are used to fill a remaining portion of the field of view with images of reticles.

  • Patent number: 9979526
    Abstract: Provided are methods and apparatuses for measuring CSI. The method comprises: a terminal device determining whether a subframe a channel state information interference measurement resource is located on is a downlink subframe; when the subframe where the channel state information interference measurement resource is located is a downlink subframe, the terminal device executing interference measurement by using the channel state information interference measurement resource. By means of the present disclosure, the technical problem is solved that it is difficult to effectively perform the CSI measurement caused when a base station flexibly adjust uplink-downlink configuration in a related technology, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the data transmission performance of a system.

  • Patent number: 9537614
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for sending a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) message in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system and a User Equipment (UE), in order that the UE feeds back the HARQ-ACK message of each downlink serving cell and downlink subframe in Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format 1b with channel selection in the TDD system. When there are more than 1 downlink subframes in a downlink subframe window corresponding to an uplink subframe, the feedback mode when the UE feeds back the HARQ-ACK message in format 1b with channel selection is determined through the configuration of the high layer or according to the result about whether the UE receives the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) from a secondary downlink serving cell.
