A photomask for eliminating antenna effects in an integrated circuit and integrated circuit manufactured with the photomask are disclosed. The photomask includes a substrate and a patterned layer formed on at least a portion of the substrate. The patterned layer may be formed using a mask pattern file created by analyzing a pattern in a mask layout file to identify a region including an antenna ratio less than a first design rule. A feature located in the identified region is moved based on a second design rule from a first position to a second position in the mask layout file to create a space in the identified region. A grounding feature is placed in the space and automatically connected to a gate feature in the mask layout file such that the antenna ratio is increased to greater than or approximately equal to the first design rule.

DC input energy is converted into DC output voltage by the use of a switched current mode high-voltage power supply. Pulses of input current are switched through a conversion transformer and the energy content of each pulse is converted into the DC output voltage. The time widths of the input current pulses are regulated relative to the DC input and output voltages, the magnitude of the current within each input current pulse, and in relation to maintaining a plurality of different selected operational conditions. The rate at which the input current pulses are converted is changed relative to the level of the DC output voltage.

Conventionally, there are problems that high resolution is difficult to be achieved since an extreme narrow width bank can not be formed and an aperture ratio as a light-emitting device is low. In addition, there is a threat of electrostatic discharge damage or adhesion of dust during the transportation of a substrate provided with an anode into the equipment for depositing EL material. In view of the foregoing, a first bank formed of an inorganic insulating film is formed, and an insulating film is formed thereon, then, a second bank in contact with a side face of the first bank by carrying out etch back, and then, a side wall bank is formed. For preventing electrostatic discharge damage, an antistatic layer is formed, and the substrate is transported, then, the antistatic layer is removed to form the second bank.

A semiconductor structure and methods of forming the same are provided. The semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor substrate; a first inter-layer dielectric (ILD) over the semiconductor substrate; a contact extending from a top surface of the first ILD into the first ILD; a second ILD over the first ILD; a bottom inter-metal dielectric (IMD) over the second ILD; and a dual damascene structure comprising a metal line in the IMD and a via in the second ILD, wherein the via is connected to the contact.

A coordinate sensor (10) includes at least two line sensors (1) that are disposed in x-axis and y-axis directions, and right-angle prisms (2) each of which changes a light path of light that has passed through an image display region of a liquid crystal panel (20). Each of the line sensors (1) is disposed outside the image display region and has a light-receiving surface (1a) parallel to an image display surface of the liquid crystal panel (20). The right angle prisms (2) cause light which travels in the x-axis and y-axis directions and which has passed through the image display region to be guided to the light-receiving surfaces (1a) of the line sensors (1). The coordinate sensor (10) receives the light which has thus passed through the image display region of the liquid crystal panel (20) so as to detect a coordinate, on the image display region, that is indicated by an object to be detected such as a finger. Consequently, a thin coordinate sensor that enables easy alignment with no reduction in aperture ratio and no restriction on operation speed can be realized at low cost.

A voice signal processing system with multiple parallel control paths, each of which address different problems, such as the high peak-to-RMS signal ratios characteristic of speech, wide variations in RMS speech levels, and high background noise levels. Different families of input-output control curves are used simultaneously to achieve efficient peak limiting and dynamic range compression as well as low-level dynamic expansion to prevent excessive amplification of background noise. In addition, a delay in the audio path relative to the control path makes it possible to employ an effective look-ahead in the control path, with FIR filtering smoothing-matched to the look-ahead. Digital domain peak interpolators are used for estimating the peaks of the input signal in the continuous time domain.
