Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming tungsten features in semiconductor devices is provided. The method includes exposing a top opening of a feature formed in a substrate to a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process to deposit a tungsten liner layer within the feature. The PVD process is performed in a first processing region of a first processing chamber and the tungsten liner layer forms an overhang portion, which partially obstructs the top opening of the feature. The substrate is transferred from the first processing region of the first processing chamber to a second processing region of a second processing chamber without breaking vacuum. The overhang portion is exposed to nitrogen-containing radicals in the second processing region to inhibit subsequent growth of tungsten along the overhang portion. The feature is exposed to a tungsten-containing precursor gas to form a tungsten fill layer over the tungsten liner layer within the feature.

Abstract: A multi-level over-current protection circuit includes: a signal amplification circuit configured to receive a set of detection signals and output a first signal; a comparison circuit to compare the first signal with a first reference signal and a second reference signal respectively; and a time delay counting circuit. The time delay counting circuit adjusts a first count value when the first signal is higher than or equal to the first reference signal and smaller than the second reference signal, and the time delay counting circuit activates a protection mode when the first count value reaches a first protection time delay. The time delay counting circuit adjusts a second count value when the first signal is higher or equal to the second reference signal, and activates the protection mode when the second count value reaches a second protection time delay.

Abstract: The instant disclosure provides a Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost converter including a PFC converter unit and a control unit and a frequency switching modulation method thereof. The control unit outputs a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the PFC converter unit for adjusting an electronic power output to a voltage converter. As the output load of the PFC converter unit increases, the control unit increases the frequency of the PWM signal. Conversely, as the output load of the PFC converter unit decreases, the control unit reduces the frequency of the PWM signal. Consequently, the switching loss of the PFC converter unit is reduced.

Abstract: A solid and painless sticking bar includes a solid main body and an adhesive member fixed at the underside of the main body. The main body has plural cut lines respectively provided at a proper interval so that the main body can be cut into a proper length or height for use according to practical needs. Plural main bodies are protuberantly fixed at proper locations around the outer circumferential edge of a wound by means of the adhesive member. Thus, when bandaging material is covered or wound on the main bodies and positioned over the wound, it will not directly contact with the surface of the wound and adhere to the wound when the wound secretes mucus, able to prevent the wound from being injured for a second time when the bandaging material is removed from the wound.
