Abstract:
Doped silicon carbide structures, as well as methods associated with the same, are provided. The structures, for example, are components (e.g., layer, patterned structure) in MEMS structures. The doped silicon carbide structures may be highly conductive, thus, providing low resistance to electrical current. An in-situ doping process may be used to form the structures. The process parameters can be selected so that the structures have a low residual stress and/or low strain gradient. Thus, the structures may be formed having desired dimensions with little (or no) distortion arising from residual stress and/or strain gradient. The high conductivity and mechanical integrity of the structures are significant advantages in MEMS devices such as sensors and actuators.
Abstract:
A safety adhesive tape having a base layer, a hard resin layer, an adhesive layer, and an anti-sticking layer, the base layer being a plastic film, the hard resin layer being coated on the top side of the base layer, the adhesive layer being coated on the bottom side of the base layer for sticking, the anti-sticking layer being a stripping film covered on one side of the hard resin layer opposite to the base layer. The hard resin layer changes the structural property of the adhesive tape, enabling the adhesive tape to be easily pulled apart with the hands, or cut with a cutter.

A method of semiconductor device fabrication including forming a plurality of gate structures in a first portion of a substrate, wherein the plurality of gate structures have a first height. A first metal gate structure is formed in a second portion of the substrate, the first metal gate structure being surrounded by an isolation region. A plurality of dummy gate structures is formed in the second portion of the substrate. The plurality of dummy gate structures are configured in a ring formation encircling the metal gate structure and the isolation region. The plurality of dummy structures have a top surface that is substantially planar with the plurality of gate structures and covers at least 5% of a pattern density of the second portion of the substrate.

Abstract:
A flash memory device connected to a host includes: a flash memory; and a control circuit comprising a first error correcting code unit and a second error correcting code unit. The data length of a redundancy bit generated by the second error correcting code unit is longer than the data length of a redundancy bit generated by the first error correcting code unit. The first error correcting code unit is adopted to process with a data transmitted to the flash memory from the host when a damage risk of the flash memory is lower than a specific value; and the second error correcting code unit is adopted to process with the data transmitted to the flash memory from the host when the damage risk of the flash memory is higher than the specific value.
Abstract:
A data storage system using flash storage maintains a status indicator corresponding to data written into the flash storage. The status indictor of the data indicates whether a disruption, such as a power disruption or a device disconnection, occurred when the data was being written into the flash storage. The data storage system determines whether the data may be corrupted based on one or more of the status indictors. The data storage system may make this determination at a selected time or after a power-up of the data storage system. If the data is determined to possibly be corrupted, the data storage system may optionally discard the corrupted data from the flash storage or flag the corrupted data for future removal.
Abstract:
A method for storage space allocation is disclosed. According to the present invention, the video data and the still picture data are recorded in a common storage area on a re-writable disc. When the still picture data is to be stored, it is recorded from the high-address end of the common storage area. On the other hand, when the video data is to be stored, it is recorded from the low-address end of the common area.
