  • Patent number: 7318790
    Abstract: A revolution counter for wrist exerciser includes a generator module, at least a detection element pair, a wireless transmission module, and wireless receiver. The generator module, the detection elements, and the wireless transmission module are arranged between a rotor and a stationary casing of the wrist exerciser. The rotation of the rotor with respect to the casing induces a voltage in the generator module, which is supplied to the detection elements and the wireless transmission module. The detection elements detect the rotation of the rotor and generate a signal associated with data of the rotation to the wireless transmission module. The wireless transmission module converts the signal into corresponding data and transmits the data in a wireless manner. The wireless receiver receives the data and displays the data in a display device or transmits the data to an external electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20080006876
    Abstract: Methods and a structure are disclosed for providing stacking fault reduced epitaxially grown silicon for use in hybrid surface orientation structures. In one embodiment, a method includes depositing a silicon nitride liner over a silicon oxide liner in an opening, etching to remove the silicon oxide liner and silicon nitride liner on a lower surface of the opening, undercutting the silicon nitride liner adjacent to the lower surface, and epitaxially growing silicon in the opening. The silicon is substantially reduced of stacking faults because of the negative slope created by the undercut.

  • Publication number: 20070267386
    Abstract: Disclosed are a damascene and dual damascene processes both of which incorporate the use of a release layer to remove trace amounts of residual material between metal interconnect lines. The release layer is deposited onto a dielectric layer. The release layer comprises an organic material, a dielectric material, a metal or a metal nitride. Trenches are etched into the dielectric layer. The trenches are lined with a liner and filled with a conductor. The conductor and liner materials are polished off the release layer. However, trace amounts of the residual material may remain. The release layer is removed (e.g., by an appropriate solvent or wet etching process) to remove the residual material. If the trench is formed such that the release layer overlaps the walls of the trench, then when the release layer is removed another dielectric layer can be deposited that reinforces the corners around the top of the metal interconnect line.

  • Publication number: 20070269970
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device comprising at least one field effect transistor (FET) having source and drain (S/D) metal silicide layers with intrinsic tensile or compressive stress. First, a metal layer containing a silicide metal M is formed over S/D regions of a FET, followed by a first annealing step to form S/D metal silicide layers that comprise a metal silicide of a first phase (MSix). A silicon nitride layer is then formed over the FET, followed by a second annealing step. During the second annealing step, the metal silicide is converted from the first phase (MSix) into a second phase (MSiy) with x<y. The metal silicide conversion causes either volumetric shrinkage or expansion in the S/D metal silicide layers of the FET, which in turn generates intrinsic tensile or compressive stress in the S/D metal silicide layers under confinement by the silicon nitride layer.

  • Publication number: 20070210448
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure that includes a Co-containing liner disposed between an oxygen-getter layer and a metal-containing conductive material is provided. The Co-containing liner, the oxygen-getter layer and the metal-containing conductive material form MOL metallurgy where the Co-containing liner replaces a traditional TiN liner. By “Co-containing” is meant that the liner includes elemental Co alone or elemental Co and at least one of P or B. In order to provide better step coverage of the inventive Co-containing liner within a high aspect ratio contact opening, the Co-containing liner is formed via an electroless deposition process.

  • Publication number: 20070171549
    Abstract: A focusing module includes a casing, at least one fixed magnetic element, a membrane, a movable magnetic element, and a lens. The fixed magnetic element is fixed in the casing for generating a first magnetic field. The membrane is received and retained in an upper section of the casing. The membrane defines a central hole. The movable magnetic element is attached to the membrane, surrounding the central hole of the membrane. The movable magnetic element receives a control signal and in response thereto generates a second magnetic field, which interacts with the first magnetic field of the fixed magnetic field to induce a force acting on the membrane to cause elastic deformation of the membrane. The lens is fixed to the central hole of the membrane whereby the lens is movable with respect to the casing due to the elastic deformation of the membrane caused by magnetic interaction between the first and second magnetic fields of the fixed and movable magnetic elements so as to effect focusing operation.

  • Patent number: 7241696
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for depositing a metal layer on an interconnect structure for a semiconductor wafer. In the method, a metal conductor is covered by a capping layer and a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is patterned so as to expose the capping layer. The capping layer is then sputter etched to remove the capping layer and expose the metal conductor. In the process of sputter etching, the capping layer is redeposited onto the sidewall of the pattern. Lastly, at least one layer is deposited into the pattern and covers the redeposited capping layer.

  • Publication number: 20070152606
    Abstract: A driving circuit uses a plurality of transformers to provide currents for driving a plurality of LEDs associated with a plurality of current paths. Each transformer has two induction coils with a coil turn ratio between to the number of turns in each induction coil. One induction coil is used to provide an output current to a different current path and the other induction coil is connected to the corresponding induction coil of other transformers for forming a current loop. The output current of each transformer has a relationship with the output current of the other transformers depending on the coil turn ratios of the connected transformers. LEDs in red, blue and green colors can be connected to different current paths so that the brightness of the LEDs in each color can be determined by the current in a current path.

  • Publication number: 20070148958
    Abstract: An interconnect structure in which the adhesion between an upper level low-k dielectric material, such as a material comprising elements of Si, C, O, and H, and an underlying diffusion capping dielectric, such as a material comprising elements of C, Si, N and H, is improved by incorporating an adhesion transition layer between the two dielectric layers. The presence of the adhesion transition layer between the upper level low-k dielectric and the diffusion barrier capping dielectric can reduce the chance of delamination of the interconnect structure during the packaging process. The adhesion transition layer provided herein includes a lower SiOx- or SiON-containing region and an upper C graded region. Methods of forming such a structure, in particularly the adhesion transition layer, are also provided.
