The tuner includes a chassis for receiving an electric circuit board, an antenna input terminal projected out of the chassis through a front part of the chassis in a direction perpendicular to the main body of the rear cover, the front part of the chassis being in parallel with the main body of the rear cover, and terminal pins projected out of the chassis in a direction opposite to that in which the antenna input terminal is projected.

Abstract: A shift register and a method for driving the same are disclosed. The shift register includes a plurality of stages serially connected to each other. Each of the stages independently generates first and second scan pulses. The first scan pulse is simultaneously applied to a previous stage and to a corresponding gate line of a liquid crystal panel. The second scan pulse is applied to a next stage. The shift register prevents scan pulses applied to each stage from being distorted, and prevents a multi-output signal from being generated.

Abstract: Provided is a method of forming a passivation layer of a semiconductor device, using a high density plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (HDPCVD) in order to form an excellent film without a void between metal lines which are being narrower. During the process of HDPCVD that utilizes SiH4 and O2 gas as an reaction gas, a first insulation film is formed along the surface of an overall structure including metal lines in a low biasing power and a second insulation film is formed on the first insulation film in a high biasing power enough to bury the spaces between the metal lines. Thus, it is possible to fill up (i.e., gap-filling) the spaces between the metal lines with the second insulation film without a void, and to prevent a junction leakage current due to an inflow of charges into the metal lines due to the plasma because the first insulation film protects the metal lines from damages by the gaseous plasma generated while forming the second insulation film.
