Abstract:
A mask for use in an LIGA(Lithographie Galvanofomung Abformung) process, a method for manufacturing the same, and a method for manufacturing a micro structure using the LIGA process are provided to reduce an alignment error with respect to photoresist layers by inserting an aligning pin into aligning pin holes on the entire photoresist layers. A substrate(120) for a structure, a photoresist layer(152) comprised of a plating hole(155) and an aligning pin hole(157) formed on a position corresponding to the plating hole, an aligning pin capable of being inserted into the aligning pin hole are manufactured. Processes for laminating the photoresist layer on the substrate for a structure and forming a plating layer by plating a metal in the plating hole are repeated by the number of the photoresist layers. The alignment between the laminated photoresist layer and a photoresist layer to be laminated is accomplished by inserting the aligning pin into the aligning pin hole on the entire laminated photoresist layer.

PURPOSE: A clock delay detecting circuit and a method for detecting clock delay are provided to detect clock delay for an initial parameter of a clock forwarding circuit, and control reset of an external circuit. CONSTITUTION: The system comprises a master circuit, a slave circuit. The master circuit includes a clock delay detecting circuit, receives a system reset signal, and generates a reset control signal. The reset control signal responses to the clock signal and the system reset signal. The slave circuit resets the response of the reset control signal, receives output data and output clock signal, and supplies input data synchronizing by the input clock signal. The clock delay detecting signal generates the reset control signal, detects delay between the output clock signal and input click signal, and performs loading and unloading operation of the input data.

Abstract:
모오스 캐페시터의 전하 충방전 시간을 최소화한 주파수 체배 회로 및 이를 이용한 오실레이터를 공개한다. 본 발명에 따른 주파수 체배 회로는 전원전압과 접지 사이에 P채널 및 N채널 모오스 캐페시터를 병렬 연결함에 의해 P채널 및 N채널 모오스 캐페시터의 특성에 따른 전하 충방전 시간의 차이를 없앨 수 있다. 오실레이터는 상기 주파수 체배 회로의 양측에 대역통과필터를 배치하고, 이 필터을 통해 노이즈를 제거하고 오프셋 전압을 고정적으로 설정함에 의해 발진 주파수의 듀티값을 안정적으로 유지하고 주파수 편차를 최소화할 수 있다는 잇점이 있다.
