  • Publication number: 20250067321
    Abstract: A conjugate cam reducer includes input and output units disposed at two opposite sides of a transmission unit along an output axis. The transmission unit includes input-side and output-side cam discs having first and second grooved surfaces. The input unit includes an input disc having a plurality of first receiving grooves registered with the first grooved surfaces to receive input rollers, and an eccentric shaft rotated to drive rotation of the transmission unit in an eccentric cam motion. The output unit includes an output disc having an inner peripheral wall which engages with the output-side cam disc, and a plurality of second receiving grooves which are registered with the second grooves to receive output rollers. An outer diameter of each first toothed surface and an outer diameter of each second toothed surface is gradually increased along a direction parallel to the output axis.

  • Publication number: 20250021732
    Abstract: A selecting method of a non-simplified region of a 3D model of a multilayer metal circuit structure is used for selecting a first non-simplified region in a complete 3D model of a layout design of a multilayer metal circuit structure. The complete 3D model contains multiple layout layers. The electing method of the first non-simplified region includes at least one of first to fourth selecting modes. Through the selecting method of the non-simplified region of the present invention, the entire complete 3D can be effectively simplified in a programmed manner, shortening the overall electrical simulation time.

  • Patent number: 7338898
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a MOS transistor is described. A gate dielectric layer, a first barrier layer, an interlayer, a work-function-dominating layer, a second barrier layer and a poly-Si layer are sequentially formed on a substrate. The interlayer is capable of adjusting the work function of the work-function-dominating layer and wetting the surface of the first barrier layer. The above layers are then patterned into a gate, and a source/drain is formed in the substrate beside the gate.
