20080254233 | PLASMA-INDUCED CHARGE DAMAGE CONTROL FOR PLASMA ENHANCED CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION PROCESSES - Methods of depositing amorphous carbon films on substrates are provided herein. The methods reduce or prevent plasma-induced charge damage to the substrates from the deposition of the amorphous carbon films. In one aspect, an initiation layer of amorphous carbon is deposited at a low RF power level and/or at a low hydrocarbon compound/inert gas flow rate ratio before a bulk layer of amorphous carbon is deposited. After the deposition of the initiation layer, the RF power, hydrocarbon flow rate, and inert gas flow rate may be ramped to final values for the deposition of the bulk layer, wherein the RF power ramp rate is typically greater than the ramp rates of the hydrocarbon compound and of the inert gas. In another aspect, a method of minimizing plasma-induced charge damage includes depositing a seasoning layer on one or more interior surfaces of a chamber before the deposition of the amorphous carbon film on a substrate therein or coating the interior surfaces with an oxide or dielectric layer during manufacturing. | 10-16-2008 |

20110171617 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TEACHING PICTOGRAPHIC LANGUAGES - In some embodiments, methods and related systems for teaching pictographic languages are disclosed. The touchscreen of a touchscreen keyboard displays the pictographic characters to be learned by a user. The characters can be, e.g., several hundred of the most commonly used characters in that language. The characters are grouped into regions, with each region having characters with similar pronunciations, e.g., a similar first sound. The locations of the regions correspond to the locations of similar sounding letters in a QWERTY keyboard. The characters on the keyboard can be learned one at a time. Region and character selection by a user and/or drills from a learning program allow the user to associate a character with its meaning and usage. Advantageously, the characters and their locations on the keyboard can be standardized, which allows the user to quickly find a character and learn its meaning by a combination of memorization and muscle-memory. | 07-14-2011 |
