    Abstract: A signal transmission system includes a first clock signal generator and a second clock signal generator. The first clock signal generator is configured for generating a first clock signal according to clock information derived from a transmitted signal, wherein the transmitted signal is changed in response to a frequency change of a second clock signal, and the first clock signal generator enters a frequency-unlocked state if the second clock signal has a frequency transition from a first frequency to a second frequency during a first time period. The second clock signal generator is configured for generating the second clock signal having the frequency transition from the first frequency to the second frequency during a second time period longer than the first time period such that the first clock signal generator stays in a frequency-locked state during the second time period.

    Abstract: A ceramic cutting tool (100) is for high speed cutting of light, thin and soft materials. The ceramic cutting tool includes an upper blade (10) and a lower blade (20) both made of ceramic material. The upper and lower blades therefore possess extremely high hardness, and excellent wear resistance and heat resistance. This increases an operating lifetime of the ceramic cutting tool. Furthermore, the lower blade can alternatively be a lower blade assembly (30). The lower blade assembly includes a metal base (32), and a ceramic edge insert (31) detachably mounted in the metal base. If the ceramic edge insert becomes worn or is damaged, it can be easily replaced by a new ceramic edge insert. There is no need to replace the metal base.

    Abstract: A frame layout and method for determining the overlay accuracy of a first chip image relative to a second chip image when the first and second chip images are used to form a single chip. One embodiment employs a vernier scale in two orthoginal directions included in the scribeline of both the first chip image and the second chip image. Another embodiment employs a box in box pattern included in the scribeline of both the first chip image and the second chip image. A layer of photoresist on an integrated circuit wafer is exposed with the first and second chip image and the associated monitor images. When the photoresist is developed the overlay accuracy of the first chip image relative to the second chip image can be determined directly from the monitor images in the photoresist.

    Abstract: A method and metal test pattern for monitoring metal corrosion susceptibility for integrated circuit wafers. Test patterns having an array of metal circles to simulate contact regions, an array of metal strips to simulate electrode regions, and a blanket metal layer to simulate bulk metal regions are formed. A first number of defects per unit area for the test patterns is measured, using a defect scan system. The test pattern wafers are then subjected to environmental stress conditions for a first time and a second number of defects per unit area for the test patterns is measured, again using a defect scan system. The difference between the second number and the first number is compared with a critical number. If excessive corrosion occurs the process for producing wafers is corrected before continuing to process product wafers.

    Abstract: A low cost, fast method for evaluating the effects of lens heating in a step and repeat projection system is disclosed. The first step is to form a series of photoresist images on a single substrate in the same way as would be done during normal stepping and repeating. The first few images, located centrally, will be produced by a cool lens. As more images are generated, the lens gradually heats up so that the final few images, which are placed alongside the `cool` images, will be produced by a hot lens. Critical dimension bars are present in all image fields (at diagonally opposite corners and in the center), their size in the developed photoresist being an indication of the extent to which the focal plane has drifted. This is then used to compute correction factors for the manufacturer's scaling constants and/or to evaluate the extent, if any, of curvature of field in the projected images.

    Abstract: This invention provides a method for removing metal etch residue of silicon nodules, resulting from a small percentage of silicon in the metal, without causing overetch damage to the photoresist pattern, the metal electrode pattern, or to dielectric layers. The metal conductor layer is partially etched leaving from 20 to 80 percent of the original thickness. Any residue of silicon nodules formed during this partial etching is then removed using ion bombardment. The remainder of the metal conductor layer is then etched. A short overetch period is used to remove any remaining residue of silicon nodules. The overetch period is short and there is no deterioration of the photoresist or exposed edges of the electrode pattern.
