Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, an apparatus and a method for regulating exhaust pressure in an evacuation system of a semiconductor process chamber are provided. The method comprises steps of generating a first pressure in the semiconductor process chamber with the evacuation system, monitoring the first pressure to generate a first signal, determining a set point for the exhaust pressure responsive to the first signal, and regulating the exhaust pressure by a controller till reaching the set point. The key aspect of the present invention is to maintain the equilibrium of the chamber pressure and the exhaust pressure by implementing an exhaust controller to control the gas flow rate introduced into the evacuation system. In other words, when the chamber pressure is increased, the gas is introduced into the evacuation system at an increased flow rate. On the other hand, when the chamber pressure is decreased, the gas is introduced into the evacuation system at a decreased flow rate.

Abstract: A voltage-averaged temperature compensation method at start-up. The method implements two pluralities of PMOS devices such that a respective voltage-averaged temperature compensation circuit produces a first temperature voltage and a second temperature voltage to compensate temperature effect and accordingly produces an output voltage having a damping waveform in lower region when activating the first plurality of PMOS devices and a desired waveform in upper region when activating the second plurality of PMOS devices. As such, the error reference or control due to a prior damping waveform is eliminated.

Abstract: A new method is provided for the creation of a 1T RAM cell. Standard processing is applied to create STI trenches in the surface of a substrate, N2 implantations are performed into the sidewalls of the STI trenches. A layer of lining oxide is created, the implanted N2 interacts with the lining oxide to form SiON over exposed surfaces of the STI trenches. STI oxide is deposited and polished, filling the STI trenches there-with. Crown patterning is performed to define capacitor areas, the crown patterning stops on a layer of etch stop material and the created SION and partially removes STI oxide from the STI trenches. Layers of etch stop material, exposed SiON and pad oxide are removed, exposing the surface of the silicon substrate, the etched layers of STI oxide are not affected by this removal. A layer of SAC oxide is grown, n-well and p-well implantations are performed into the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A process for forming a composite insulator spacer on the sides of a buried stack capacitor structure, wherein the buried stack capacitor structure is located overlying a portion of an insulator filled, shallow trench isolation (STI) region, has been developed. A thin silicon nitride spacer is first formed on the sides of the completed buried stack capacitor structure, followed by deposition of a silicon oxide layer. An anisotropic dry etch procedure is next employed removing a top portion of the silicon oxide layer, and resulting in a partially defined silicon oxide spacer. A critical wet etch procedure is next used to remove the bottom portion of the silicon oxide layer, defining the final silicon oxide spacer of the composite insulator spacer, now comprised of a silicon oxide spacer on an underlying silicon nitride spacer.

The weight member is optionally made of materials with high density, and has a weight substantially equal to a weight of a standard head of a conventional golf club minus the weight of the head of the golf club of the invention. Thus, the weight of the head is less than the standard head of the conventional golf club and the whole weight of the golf club is equal to the conventional golf club, so that the twisting force applied to the head of the golf club is lessened, and the stability of the golf club is improved.

Abstract: A method for flexibly configuring default values of a network device and a network device using such flexible configuration method is described. First, it is determined whether the default values are obtained through a microprocessor interface or a memory interface. When it is determined that the default values are obtained through the memory interface, a header is received from a memory through the memory interface it is determined from the header whether any default value of the network device should be updated. If the network device should be updated, then at least one configuration instruction is fetched from the memory and the at least one configuration instruction is interpreted. A register default value of the default values is changed, corresponding to the interpreted at least one configuration instruction.
