摘要:
The present invention relates to a time synchronization method in a wireless sensor network. In the present invention, if an upper node requests a lower reference node to start time synchronization, the lower reference node broadcasts a first sync reference packet. The upper node receives the first sync reference packet and transmits the first sync reference packet reception time to the lower reference node. The lower reference node broadcasts the first sync reference packet reception time, such that the other nodes perform time synchronization on the basis of the first sync reference packet reception time. Meanwhile, the lower reference node estimates the first sync reference packet reception time of the upper node to calculate the reception estimation time, and transmits the reception estimation time to a determination node that is two hops anterior to the lower reference node. Therefore, the determination node compares the reception time received from the upper node and the reception estimation time received from the lower reference node and determines whether a capture attack on the upper node has occurred.

Provided are an intelligent parking guidance apparatus and method. The intelligent parking guidance apparatus includes: an image sensor node recognizing a vehicle number of a vehicle, sensor nodes determining whether the vehicle exists in their own positions, a parking management server generating information for guiding the vehicle to an available parking space, and a mobile communication terminal receiving the information. The intelligent parking guidance apparatus and method provide information regarding parking lots which are within a predetermined distance from a destination and available parking spaces of each parking lot, to a driver, as well as provide a road guidance service to the driver to guide his/her vehicle to the destination, so that the driver can select an optimal parking lot. Also, when the vehicle enters the parking lot, the intelligent parking guidance apparatus and method guide the driver to an available empty parking space, thereby reducing difficulties in finding a parking space in a place which is unfamiliar to the driver.

Provided is a wireless communication method in a wireless sensor network environment. The method overhears a packet transmitted from a source sensor node to a destination sink node and determines whether the destination sink node receives the packet. A transmission node selected by using local information among a plurality of neighboring sensor nodes transmits the overheard packet to the destination sink node when the packet is not received.

A test handler, a packaged chip loading method, a test tray transferring method, and a packaged chip manufacturing method are provided. The test handler may include a loading unit, a chamber system, an unloading unit, at least one rotating unit and a transferring unit. The loading unit may include a loading buffer disposed to be movable along a moving path formed over a loading position and a loading picker to perform a loading process on the test tray located at the loading position. The chamber system having the packaged chips connected to a hi-fix board and tested. The unloading unit may include an unloading picker to perform an unloading process on the test tray located at an unloading position. The at least one rotating unit may be disposed between the loading unit and the unloading unit to rotate the test tray transferred from the loading unit from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture, and to rotate the test tray transferred from the chamber system from a vertical posture to a horizontal posture. The transferring unit may transfer the test tray.

The presence and absence of sidewall spacers are used to provide discontinuous and continuous contacts respectively, between a gate electrode and a source/drain region. In particular, first and second spaced apart gate electrodes are formed on an integrated circuit substrate. A source/drain region is formed in the integrated circuit substrate therebetween. The first electrode includes a first sidewall spacer on a first sidewall thereof facing the second gate electrode. The second gate electrode is free of (i.e. does not include) a sidewall spacer on a second sidewall thereof facing the first electrode. A metal silicide layer is formed on the first gate electrode, on the second gate electrode and extending from the second gate electrode onto the second sidewall and onto the source/drain region. The first sidewall spacer is free of the metal silicide layer thereon. The metal suicide layer is preferably formed by forming a metal layer on the first gate electrode, on the first sidewall spacer, on the source/drain region, on the second sidewall and on the second gate electrode. The metal layer is reacted with the first gate electrode, the source/drain region, the second sidewall and the second gate layer, to thereby form the metal silicide layer on the first gate electrode, on the second gate electrode and extending from the second gate electrode onto the second sidewall and onto the source/drain region. The metal layer is then removed from the first sidewall spacer.

A semiconductor device having a closed step portion and a global step portion including an insulating layer having a planarized surface on the global step portion is provided. A dummy pattern is formed by forming an insulating layer on the global step portion and then patterning through a photolithography process. After forming the dummy pattern for compensating steps in the global step portion and between the closed step portion and the global step portion, a BPSG layer is formed on both the closed step portion and the global step portion, and then the BPSG layer is heat-treated to cause it to reflow. The BPSG layer as an insulating interlayer having a planarized surface. The improved planarization decreases the occurrence of notching and discontinuities in the succeeding metallization processes thereby enhancing the yield and electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device.
