ActiveUS20100332193A1Fast and accurate bond wire parasitic inductanceLow costSemiconductor/solid-state device detailsSolid-state devicesElectromagnetic couplingHigh density
A method for modeling bond wires in an IC package for predicting noise effects generated by electromagnetic coupling in complex bond wire configurations. A look-up table of equivalent LC circuit models for the bond wires is generated that accurately predicts the effects of the bond wire circuitry of a signal transmission system. Switch and mirror techniques are applied to reduce the bond wire configurations necessary to simulate. The method includes: setting parameters related to the IC package layout of groups of bond wires; sub-dividing each group of bond wires into regions, each including a portion of the bond wire or its corresponding pad, and generating dissection planes for the regions consisting of the bond wires; performing a 3D simulation on the regions consisting of the corresponding pads, and a 2D simulation for each dissection plane; constructing equivalent circuit models for groups of bond wires and corresponding pads based on the 3D and 2D simulations results; inputting the equivalent circuit models into a circuit simulator to measure the noise effects; and modifying the layout geometry to meet noise targets.

Method and system for seamless transition between multiple feedback ranges

A method and system are provided for processing multiple sensor output signals of different ranges / sensitivities so as to provide a seamless transition when switching between the different ranges. More specifically, a determination is made as to whether a selected sensor output range is of a sensitivity higher than a predetermined sensitivity. If the sensitivity is higher, the value of a higher sensitivity sensor output is converted to a value corresponding to the predetermined sensitivity range. An error value is then determined between the converted sensor output value and a sensor output corresponding to a range having the predetermined sensitivity. The sensor output is then modified based on the error value when the control process switches from the selected sensor output to the sensor output corresponding to the predetermined sensitivity. This insures that no glitches will occur in a controller output at the time of switchover.

Ion implant monitoring through measurement of modulated optical response

A method for simultaneously monitoring ion implantation dose, damage and / or dopant depth profiles in ion-implanted semiconductors includes a calibration step where the photo-modulated reflectance of a known damage profile is identified in I-Q space. In a following measurement step, the photo-modulated reflectance of a subject is empirically measured to obtain in-phase and quadrature values.

Flow sensing apparatus used to monitor/provide feedback to a split flow pumping system

A method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling the nano-scale flow rate of fluid in the operating flow path of a HPLC system without relying on a nano-scale sensor in the operating flow path. A main flow sensor is disposed in the main flow path between the pump and a flow-divider. A waste flow sensor is disposed in the waste flow path downstream of the splitter. The output signal of the waste flow sensor is subtracted from the output signal of the main flow sensor in a difference circuit. The difference signal is divided by the output signal from the main flow sensor in a divider circuit. The output of the divider circuit represents an empirical split ratio of the flow-divider and is independent of media composition.
