Abstract: A nonvolatile memory array is associated with counting memory that stores data on a number of times a particular threshold state is reached in the associated nonvolatile memory. The aging physical characteristics of the nonvolatile memory can be compensated by adjusting the operating conditions of the nonvolatile memory. The operating conditions vary depending on the data stored in the counting memory.

Abstract: There may be circumstances under which the user may wish the convenience of being able to insert a textual block into the file of a particular document without having to open the file of the receiving document and displaying the receiving document. Indicating a block of data in a displayed document to be copied to another selected document in combination with locating the data file of this selected target document and then copying the indicated block of data into the file of the selected target document without displaying this target document during the copying. Since the target document file is not opened so that the target document may be displayed, it is preferable that a position in the file of the target document be preselected and the textual data block being transferred placed at that preselected position.

Since the aperture and the circular opening are concentric circles and formed in same step, the microlens and the aperture can be precisely aligned with the backside exposure. The claimed invention can effectively improve the optical resolution and efficiency of the optical access and measurement devices.

Abstract: A method for fabricating trench power MOSFET is described. An epitaxial layer and a mask layer having a first opening are sequentially formed on a substrate. A pair of spacers is formed on the sidewalls of the first opening. A second opening exposing the surface of the epitaxial layer is formed by removing a portion of the mask layer. The spacers are removed and then a trench is formed in the epitaxial layer using the mask layer as a mask. The mask layer is removed and a gate oxide layer is formed over the epitaxial layer and the surface of the trench. A gate layer is formed to fill the trench. A body well region is formed in the epitaxial layer adjacent to the sidewalls of the trench. A source region is formed in the body well region on each side at the top of the trench.

Abstract: An ultra cycling nitride read only memory (NROM) device is coupled to a NROM array such that both bits of the ultra cycling NROM device will be erased when all NROM devices of the NROM array are erased. The ultra cycling NROM device is then programmed at its right bit. A threshold voltage difference will be obtained for the ultra cycling NROM device for the un-programmed left bit. Next, a cycling number is obtained based on the threshold voltage difference for the ultra cycling NROM device. A threshold voltage shift can be found based on the cycling number for the NROM array. Finally, an erase voltage will be calculated according to the threshold voltage shift for the NROM array. If the NROM array is programmed again, the erase voltage will be applied to un-programmed NROM devices of the NROM array to further reduce the threshold voltages.

Abstract: An optical switching system that switches the path of an optical signal by moving a microstructure onto which a light-guiding structure is mounted. The microstructure is formed by a MEMs and semiconductor process to be integral to the substrate. The light-guiding structure may include waveguides. The microstructure moves from one position to another position (e.g., laterally, vertically, rotationally) such that incoming optical signals align over a small air gap to different optical paths, depending on the position of the movable microstructure. As a result, the optical signal propagate along different optical paths (e.g., straight pass through or cross over) depending on the position of the movable microstructure. The optical paths have a large radii of curvature so as to change the direction of the optical signal gradually, thereby reducing insertion losses.
