  • Publication number: 20240363319
    Abstract: A plasma monitoring device including at least one first cathode, at least one second cathode, a first collimator group, a first mass flow controller group, and a plasma emission monitor is disclosed. The first cathode has a first target and provides a first plasma. The second cathode has a second target and provides a second plasma. The first collimator group is disposed corresponding to the first cathode to detect a first spectrum of the first plasma. The first mass flow controller group provides gas to the first cathode and the second cathode through a first gas supply pipe group and a second gas supply pipe group. The plasma emission monitor adjusts a flow rate of the gas provided by the first mass flow controller group according to the first spectrum of the first plasma. The first target and the second target are the same. A total number of collimator groups is less than a total number of cathodes.

  • Patent number: 12041771
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a patterning process for a strap region in a memory cell for the removal of material between polysilicon lines. The patterning process includes depositing a first hard mask layer in a divot formed on a top portion of a polysilicon layer interposed between a first polysilicon gate structure and a second polysilicon gate; depositing a second hard mask layer on the first hard mask layer. The patterning process also includes performing a first etch to remove the second hard mask layer and a portion of the second hard mask layer from the divot; performing a second etch to remove the second hard mask layer from the divot; and performing a third etch to remove the polysilicon layer not covered by the first and second hard mask layers to form a separation between the first polysilicon gate structure and the second polysilicon structure.

  • Patent number: 9904561
    Abstract: A computer system and a method for setting basic input/output system (BIOS) are disclosed. The computer system comprises a remote computer and servers. The remote computer transmits a setting command. Each of the servers comprises a first management unit and a motherboard. The motherboard comprises a storage device and a processor. The storage device stores the BIOS. The processor executes the BIOS. The processor communicates with the first management unit to determine whether the BIOS configuration needs to be updated after the server rebooted. The processor updates the BIOS according to the setting command when the BIOS configuration must to be updated.

  • Patent number: 9467380
    Abstract: A data center network flow migration method includes detecting a utilized loading value in each switch of a plurality of switches in the data center network by a controller according to topology information of the data center network. The controller re-establishes a plurality of link paths corresponding to the plurality of switches in the data center network according to the utilized loading value in each switch and a disjoint edge node divided spanning tree algorithm. In these re-established link paths corresponding to the plurality of switches in the data center network, if the utilized loading value of at least one link path is greater than a threshold value, the at least one link paths with the utilized loading value greater than the threshold value is rerouted by a controller according to a flow migration algorithm.

  • Publication number: 20090139456
    Abstract: A system for maintaining the environmental optimum inside the water stored in an aquarium is provided. The system includes a maintaining unit, a sensing unit, and a processing/controlling unit. The maintaining unit is used to adjust the ecological environment inside the water. The sensing unit detects the physical and chemical characteristics of the water and outputs an environmental data in responsive to the detected characteristics. The processing/controlling unit receives and analyzes the environmental data for estimating the ecological environment inside the water so as to control the maintaining unit according to the estimation. Therefore, the system is capable of maintaining the environmental optimum of the aquarium meeting the requirement of the aquatic animals and plants therein.
