Abstract: A circuit includes a first transistor, a second type-one transistor, a first type-two transistor, a third type-one transistor, a fourth type-one transistor, and a fifth type-one transistor. The first type-one transistor has a gate configured to have a first supply voltage of a first power supply. The first type-two transistor has a gate configured to have a second supply voltage of the first power supply. The third type-one transistor has a first active-region conductively connected with an active-region of the first type-one transistor. Third type-one transistor has a second active-region and a gate conductively connected to each other. The fifth type-one transistor has a first active-region conductively connected with the gate of the third type-one transistor and has a second active-region configured to have a first supply voltage of a second power supply. The fifth type-one transistor is configured to be at a conducting state.

Abstract: A method for silicon carbide ingot peeling includes the steps of: placing the silicon carbide ingot between first and second suckers; having a pressing head disposed on a top surface of the first sucker to apply mechanical oscillatory energy to both the silicon carbide ingot and the second sucker through the first sucker; and, having an elastic element disposed under the second sucker to absorb part of the mechanical oscillatory energy to transmit longitudinal waves thereof to a modified layer of the silicon carbide ingot for propagating individually intermittent invisible cracks at the modified layer to break silicon carbide chains at different levels. Till the cracks connect together for forming a continuous crack across the silicon carbide ingot, a top portion of the silicon carbide ingot is then separable therefrom to form a wafer. In addition, an apparatus for silicon carbide ingot peeling is also provided.

Abstract: A method of making an integrated circuit includes steps of selecting a first cell and a second cell for an integrated circuit layout from a cell library in an electronic design automation (EDA) system, the first and second cells each having a cell active area, a cell gate electrode, at least one fin of a first set of fins, and a cell border region, each cell also having the active area at an exposed side, and placing the first exposed side against the second exposed side at a cell border. The method also includes operations of aligning at least one fin of the first set of fins with at least one fin of the second set of fins across a cell border.

Abstract: A drive system thermal temperature rise test and compensation system. The system has an optical non-contact type sensing head mounted on a main shaft of a machine tool, and a sensing center is formed in the center of the sensing head. A platform driven by a transmission device of the machine tool is provided with plural ball lens devices, and a temperature sensor for transmitting temperature data externally is further provided on the transmission device. After the machine tool sequentially records an original point coordinate for each ball lens center by using the sensing head, the sensing head is cyclically and sequentially moved to the original point coordinate of each ball lens, so as to measure a displacement error between the sensing center and the ball lens center resulted from thermal shifts of the transmission device, as well as capable of measuring multiaxial errors and using various axial temperatures for compensation.
