Description

电荷耦合元件图像检测装置以及加速 检测图像的方法Charge-coupled device image detection device and method for accelerating detection of images

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及CCD图像检测装置及其加速检测图像的方法。The invention relates to a CCD image detection device and a method for accelerating detection of images thereof.

背景技术Background technique

由于使用电荷耦合元件(Charge-Coupled Device,简称为CCD)可以制作得到密度极高的移位寄存器或是顺序存储器,故而CCD被广泛地应用在图像处理系统和数字信号处理系统中。例如,在扫描器、数字相机、传真机、影印机…等电子装置中,均必须使用到CCD图像检测装置。Since a charge-coupled device (Charge-Coupled Device, referred to as CCD) can be used to produce a very high-density shift register or sequential memory, the CCD is widely used in image processing systems and digital signal processing systems. For example, in electronic devices such as scanners, digital cameras, fax machines, photocopiers, etc., CCD image detection devices must be used.

就传统扫描器、或是使用CIS(Contact Image Sensor)的扫描器而言,其图像检测处理部分均可能会使用到CCD图像检测装置。图1为概要显示CCD图像检测装置内部结构的示意图。一般CCD图像检测装置,至少包括:一列(row)图像感应单元(P1~Pn),用以检测图像并产生对应光线强度大小的电荷包(charge packets);一CCD模拟移位寄存器10,具有多个暂存单元(SH1~SH2n),用以并列接收、寄存上述感应电荷包;以及,一输出放大器(OP),用以将电荷转换为对应的电压电平Vim;其中,上述CCD模拟移位寄存器20由时钟脉冲信号Φ1、Φ2的控制,而依序将各寄存单元中所存的电荷串列输出给上述输出放大器(OP)。As far as traditional scanners or scanners using CIS (Contact Image Sensor) are concerned, the image detection processing part may use a CCD image detection device. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the internal structure of a CCD image detection device. A general CCD image detection device includes at least one row of image sensing units (P 1 -P n ) for detecting images and generating charge packets corresponding to the intensity of light; a CCD analog shift register 10, There are a plurality of temporary storage units (SH 1 ˜SH 2n ) for receiving and storing the above-mentioned induced charge packets in parallel; and an output amplifier (OP) for converting the charge into a corresponding voltage level V im ; wherein, The CCD analog shift register 20 is controlled by the clock pulse signals Φ 1 and Φ 2 to sequentially output the charge stored in each register unit to the output amplifier (OP).

图2(a)~(f)是显示图1所示CCD模拟移位寄存器中,寄存电荷包的移转情形示意图,以及时钟脉冲信号Φ1、Φ2的波形;其中,上述时钟脉冲信号Φ1、Φ2分别耦接至移位控制电极G2a-1和G2a(1≤a≤n)。Fig. 2 (a)~(f) is to show in the CCD analog shift register shown in Fig. 1, the transfer situation schematic diagram of registering charge packet, and the waveform of clock pulse signal Φ 1 , Φ 2 ; Wherein, above-mentioned clock pulse signal Φ 1 and Φ 2 are respectively coupled to the shift control electrodes G 2a-1 and G 2a (1≤a≤n).

CCD寄存器的结构如图2(a)所示,在此为图示简单起见,仅显示5个寄存单元(SH1~SH5)、及其对应的5个移位控制电极(G1~G5)。另外,假设阈值电压(Threshold voltage)为0。The structure of the CCD register is shown in Figure 2(a). For the sake of simplicity in the illustration, only five register units (SH 1 ~SH 5 ) and their corresponding five shift control electrodes (G 1 ~G 5 ). In addition, it is assumed that the threshold voltage (Threshold voltage) is zero.

当t=t1时,Φ1=0而Φ2=V,所以电极G1、G3和G5下方没有产生势垒(potential barrier),但在电极G2和G4下方形成阶梯形位垒(stepbarrier),如图2(b)所示。假定电极G2和G4下方存了代表逻辑1的电荷(以虚线表示)。When t=t 1 , Φ 1 = 0 and Φ 2 = V, so there is no potential barrier under the electrodes G 1 , G 3 and G 5 , but a ladder-shaped potential is formed under the electrodes G 2 and G 4 Barrier (stepbarrier), as shown in Figure 2(b). Assume that a charge representing a logic 1 is stored under electrodes G2 and G4 (shown in dashed lines).

当t=t2时,Φ1=Φ2=V/2,此时每个电极(G1~G5)下方的势垒分布的轮廓具有相同的形状,如图2(c)所示。轮廓图上的箭头表示当时间从t1往t2及t3增加时,奇数电极(G1、G3、G5)下方的势垒升高而偶数电极(G2、G4)下方的势垒下降。When t=t 2 , Φ 12 =V/2, at this time the profile of the potential barrier distribution under each electrode (G 1 -G 5 ) has the same shape, as shown in Fig. 2(c). Arrows on the contour plots indicate that as time increases from t 1 to t 2 and t 3 , the potential barrier under the odd electrodes (G 1 , G 3 , G 5 ) increases and that under the even electrodes (G 2 , G 4 ) increases. The barrier falls.

在t=t3时,出现如图2(d)所示的电位轮廓。因此,存在G2和G4电极下方的电荷就分别被转移至G1和G3电极位置的下方。At t = t 3 , a potential profile as shown in Fig. 2(d) appears. Therefore, the charges present under the G2 and G4 electrodes are transferred under the locations of the G1 and G3 electrodes, respectively.

最后,当t=t4时,Φ1=V而Φ2=0,结果即如图2(e)所示的电位能分布轮廓。由t1到t4这一期间,电荷向右移动一个电极;同理,t5到t6和当t7到t8的期间,均会有电荷向右移动一个电极的情形产生。Finally, when t=t 4 , Φ 1 =V and Φ 2 =0, the result is the potential energy distribution profile shown in Fig. 2(e). During the period from t 1 to t 4 , the charge moves one electrode to the right; similarly, the charge moves to the right by one electrode during the period from t 5 to t 6 and from t 7 to t 8 .

目前扫描器的解析度规格大多为600dpi(dot/inch)或更高;以600dpi解析度而言,以扫描A4尺寸的文件(宽21cm,长29.7cm)为例,扫描器所使用的CCD图像检测装置中,至少需要约有7016个(29.7/2.54×600个)图像感应单元,以及14032(7016×2)个寄存单元用以并列接收、存储图像的感应电荷。At present, the resolution specifications of scanners are mostly 600dpi (dot/inch) or higher; in terms of 600dpi resolution, taking scanning A4 size documents (21cm wide, 29.7cm long) as an example, the CCD image used by the scanner In the detection device, at least about 7016 (29.7/2.54×600) image sensing units and 14032 (7016×2) register units are required to receive and store image induced charges in parallel.

就目前厂商所提供的CCD检测装置,其每一个标准产品的规格,一般均包括10000个以上的图像感应单元。以具有12800个图像感应单元的CCD检测装置标准品为例(即具有SH1~SH25600共25600个寄存单元),将其应用于A4尺寸,解析度600dpi的扫描器中,则仅有寄存单元SH1~SH14032所接收、存储的感应电荷包是真正地对应于扫描的图像,而其他寄存单元SH14033~SH25600将永远不会对应到任何感应图像信号,只有些微因漏光或其他因素所产生的残留电荷包会在每次扫描感应中呈现出来,然而这些残留电荷并无真正对应的扫描图像。As far as the CCD detection devices currently provided by manufacturers are concerned, the specifications of each standard product generally include more than 10,000 image sensing units. Taking the standard CCD detection device with 12,800 image sensing units as an example (that is, with a total of 25,600 storage units from SH 1 to SH 25600 ), if it is applied to an A4-size scanner with a resolution of 600dpi, only the storage units The induction charge packets received and stored by SH 1 ~ SH 14032 really correspond to the scanned image, while the other storage units SH 14033 ~ SH 25600 will never correspond to any induction image signal, only a little due to light leakage or other factors. The resulting residual charge packets are present in each scan sensing, however there is no real corresponding scan image for these residual charges.

依据图2(a)~(e)所述的传统方式将寄存单元中的电荷依序予以串列输出并转换为对应的电压;当寄存单元SH1~SH14032的电荷完成输出后;寄存器单元SH14033~SH25600中的残留电荷包也分别向输出端(即输出放大器OP)位移了14032个寄存单元,而寄存于原先的SH1~SH11568寄存单元的位置上。对于移往寄存单元SH1~SH11568中的残留电荷,则必须耗费额外时间。先行将11568个残留电荷包一一予以串列输出。否则,再扫描下一组图像时,上述11568个残留电荷将会分别累加至寄存单元SH1~SH11568新接收的图像感应电荷上,而造成扫描图像失真。According to the traditional method described in Figure 2(a)~(e), the charges in the register units are sequentially output in series and converted into corresponding voltages; when the charges of the register units SH 1 to SH 14032 are output; the register unit The residual charge packets in SH 14033 -SH 25600 are also shifted to the output terminal (ie, the output amplifier OP) by 14032 register units respectively, and stored in the original positions of SH 1 -SH 11568 register units. For the remaining charges transferred to the register cells SH 1 -SH 11568 , additional time must be spent. The 11568 residual charge packets are serially output one by one in advance. Otherwise, when the next group of images is scanned, the above 11568 residual charges will be respectively accumulated on the image induction charges newly received by the register units SH 1 -SH 11568 , resulting in distortion of the scanned image.

每一次图像扫描后,寄存单元SH14033~SH25600中的残留电荷包,对于扫描图像的处理完全无作用,但又为了避免造成扫描图像失真,又必须使用额外的时间将11568个残留电荷包予以输出,如此造成处理时间的浪费,也降低扫描器的处理速度。为了减少处理残留电荷包的时间。目前所使用的解决方案,是在将11568个残留电荷包移出CCD模拟移位寄存器时,将信号Φ1和Φ2的频率提高,以加速将残留电荷包的移出动作。然而,在移出寄存单元SH1~SH14032的电荷时,信号Φ1和Φ2是以正常频率运作;在移出残留电荷包时,又必需将信号Φ1和Φ2切换至高频率,如此会造成控制上的困难、及增加电路的复杂度,相对成本也增加,而且实际上所能够减少的处理时间也不是很多。因此,若能够提出一种方法和机制,使CCD模拟移位寄存器不需将上述残留电荷包一一移出,而能够使扫描图像不会有失真的问题产生,如此不仅可以加速图像检测的时间(亦即加速扫描器的处理时间),同时也可以降低电路的复杂度。After each image scan, the residual charge packets in the storage units SH 14033 ~ SH 25600 have absolutely no effect on the processing of the scanned image, but in order to avoid distortion of the scanned image, additional time must be used to process the 11568 residual charge packets output, which wastes processing time and reduces the processing speed of the scanner. To reduce the time to process residual charge packets. The currently used solution is to increase the frequency of the signals Φ 1 and Φ 2 when moving 11568 residual charge packets out of the CCD analog shift register, so as to speed up the removal of the residual charge packets. However, when removing the charges of the register units SH 1 ~ SH 14032 , the signals Φ 1 and Φ 2 operate at normal frequency; when removing the residual charge packets, the signals Φ 1 and Φ 2 must be switched to a high frequency, which will cause Difficulties in control and increased complexity of the circuit also increase the relative cost, and the processing time that can actually be reduced is not much. Therefore, if a method and mechanism can be proposed, the CCD analog shift register does not need to move out the above-mentioned residual charge packets one by one, and the problem of distortion of the scanned image can not be generated, which can not only speed up the time of image detection ( That is to speed up the processing time of the scanner), and also reduce the complexity of the circuit.

图3显示本发明CCD图像检测装置内部结构的示意图。参照图3,本发明的CCD图像检测装置,包括:多个图像感应单元(P1~Pn),用以分别感应光线并产生对比于光线强度的电荷包;CCD位移寄存器30,包括:多个寄存单元(SH1~SH2n),用以寄存所述电荷包;多个移位控制电极(G1~G2n);以及,输出放大器(OP)。Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the CCD image detection device of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 3, the CCD image detection device of the present invention includes: a plurality of image sensing units (P 1 ~ P n ), which are used to respectively sense light and generate charge packets compared to the intensity of light; CCD shift register 30 includes: a register unit (SH 1 ˜SH 2n ), used to register the charge packet; a plurality of shift control electrodes (G 1 ˜G 2n ); and an output amplifier (OP).

所述移位控制电极的奇数电极G1、G3、G5…G2j-5、G2j-3均耦接第一时钟脉冲信号Φ1,所述移位控制电极的偶数电极G2、G4、G6…G2j-4、G2j-2均耦接第二时钟脉冲信号Φ2;所述移位控制电极G2j+1、G2j+3、…G2n-3、G2n-1也可耦接第一时钟脉冲信号Φ1,所述移位控制电极的G2j+2、G2j+4、…G2n-2、G2n也可耦接第二时钟脉冲信号Φ2。所述第一、第二时钟脉冲信号(Φ1、Φ2)的波形如图2(f)所示。 The odd-numbered electrodes G 1 , G 3 , G 5 . G 4 , G 6 ...G 2j-4 , G 2j-2 are all coupled to the second clock pulse signal Φ 2 ; the shift control electrodes G 2j+1 , G 2j+3 , ...G 2n-3 , G 2n -1 can also be coupled to the first clock pulse signal Φ 1 , G 2j+2 , G 2j+4 , ... G 2n-2 , G 2n of the shift control electrodes can also be coupled to the second clock pulse signal Φ 2 . The waveforms of the first and second clock pulse signals (Φ 1 , Φ 2 ) are shown in Fig. 2(f).

所述多个移位控制电极中的G2j-1、G2j控制电极分别耦接第一电位V1、及第二电位V2,使SH2j-1、SH2j寄存单元构成阻隔单元。The G 2j-1 and G 2j control electrodes among the plurality of shift control electrodes are respectively coupled to the first potential V 1 and the second potential V 2 , so that the SH 2j-1 and SH 2j register units form a blocking unit.

由所述第一、第二时钟脉冲信号(Φ1、Φ2)的控制,使所述寄存单元(SH1~SH2j-2)中的所述电荷包依序地由所述CCD位移寄存器中移出给所述输出放大器OP。然而,所述寄存单元SH2j+1~SH2n中寄存的电荷包,由于所述阻隔单元的作用,故不会移入上述寄存单元(SH1~SH2j+2)中。Controlled by the first and second clock pulse signals (Φ 1 , Φ 2 ), the charge packets in the register units (SH 1 ~SH 2j-2 ) are sequentially transferred from the CCD shift register shifted out to the output amplifier OP. However, the charge packets stored in the storage units SH 2j+1 -SH 2n will not be moved into the above-mentioned storage units (SH 1 -SH 2j+2 ) due to the function of the barrier unit.

以解析度600dpi(dot/inch)为例,所使用的CCD图像检测装置中,至少需要约有7016个(j-1个)图像感应单元,亦即14032个寄存单元。故在制作具有12800个(n个)图像感应单元的CCD检测装置标准品时,即可以选择将移位控制电极G14033和G14034(G2j-1、G2j)分别耦接第一电位V1(电压0)和第2电位V2(正电压V),以形成阻隔单元。如此,寄存单元SH1~SH14032中的电荷包,可由第一时钟脉冲信号Φ1和第二时钟脉冲信号Φ2的控制而移出CCD位移寄存器30,然而SH14035~SH25600中的残留电荷不会被移入寄存单元SH1~SH14032中。Taking the resolution of 600dpi (dot/inch) as an example, the CCD image detection device used needs at least about 7016 (j-1) image sensing units, that is, 14032 register units. Therefore, when making a standard CCD detection device with 12800 (n) image sensing units, it is possible to choose to couple the displacement control electrodes G 14033 and G 14034 (G 2j-1 , G 2j ) to the first potential V 1 (voltage 0) and the second potential V2 (positive voltage V) to form a barrier unit. In this way, the charge packets in the register units SH 1 ~ SH 14032 can be moved out of the CCD shift register 30 under the control of the first clock pulse signal Φ 1 and the second clock pulse signal Φ 2 , but the residual charges in SH 14035 ~ SH 25600 are not will be moved into the storage units SH 1 ~SH 14032 .

图4(a)-(e)概要显示本发明CCD模拟移位寄存器的电荷移转情形的示意图。图4(a)-(e)仅图示部分的寄存单元、和移位控制电极。4( a )-( e ) schematically show the schematic diagrams of charge transfer in the CCD analog shift register of the present invention. Figures 4(a)-(e) only illustrate part of the register cells, and shift control electrodes.

本发明的加速检测图像的方法,可让CCD图像检测装置无须将残留的电荷包予以移出,即可以再次检测图像进而加速处理速度。参照图3、4(a)-(e),所述加速检测图像的方法包括以下步骤。The method for speeding up the image detection of the present invention allows the CCD image detection device to detect the image again without removing the residual charge packets, thereby speeding up the processing speed. Referring to Figures 3 and 4(a)-(e), the method for accelerating image detection includes the following steps.

首先,将所述多个移位控制电极中的G14033、G14034(即G2j-1、G2j;j=7017)控制电极分别耦接第一电位V1(电压0)、及第二电位V2(正电压V),使所述多个寄存单元中的SH14033、SH14034(即SH2j-1、SH2j)寄存单元构成阻隔单元。Firstly, the control electrodes G 14033 and G 14034 (that is, G 2j-1 , G 2j ; j=7017) among the plurality of displacement control electrodes are respectively coupled to the first potential V 1 (voltage 0) and the second potential V 1 . The potential V 2 (positive voltage V) makes the SH 14033 , SH 14034 (that is, SH 2j-1 , SH 2j ) storage units among the plurality of storage units constitute a blocking unit.

将所述移位控制电极的G1、G3、G5…G14029、G14031(G2j-5、G2j-3)耦接第一时钟脉冲信号Φ1;以及,将所述移位控制电极的G2、G4、G6…G140302、G14032(G2j-4、G2j-2)均耦接第二时钟脉冲信号Φ2;如图4(a)所示。G 1 , G 3 , G 5 . . . G 14029 , G 14031 (G 2j-5 , G 2j-3 ) of the shift control electrodes are coupled to a first clock pulse signal Φ 1 ; and, the shift G 2 , G 4 , G 6 . . . G 140302 , G 14032 (G 2j-4 , G 2j-2 ) of the control electrodes are all coupled to the second clock pulse signal Φ 2 ; as shown in FIG. 4( a ).

本发明的方法主要适用具有图3所示结构的CCD图像检测装置。在此实施例中,所述移位控制电极G14035、G14037…~G25599也可以选择耦接第一时钟脉冲信号Φ1;而所述移位控制电极G14036、G14038…~G25600也可选择耦接第二时钟脉冲信号Φ2The method of the present invention is mainly applicable to the CCD image detection device with the structure shown in FIG. 3 . In this embodiment, the shift control electrodes G 14035 , G 14037 ... ~G 25599 may also be selectively coupled to the first clock pulse signal Φ 1 ; Optionally, the second clock pulse signal Φ 2 can also be coupled.

当CCD图像检测装置检测图像时,所述多个图像感应单元(P1~P12800)分别产生对比于光线强度的电荷包(以虚线表示);并分别寄存于耦数寄存单元中(SH2j;j=1~12800),如图4(b)所示。存储于SH14033之前的电荷包为正确的图像感应电荷,存储于SH14033之后的电荷包则为残留电荷。When the CCD image detection device detects an image, the plurality of image sensing units (P 1 -P 12800 ) respectively generate charge packets (indicated by dotted lines) that are compared with the light intensity; and store them in the coupler register unit (SH 2j ; j=1~12800), as shown in Fig. 4(b). The charge packets stored before the SH 14033 are correct image-induced charges, and the charge packets stored after the SH 14033 are residual charges.

在所述第一、第二时钟脉冲信号Φ1、Φ2的控制下,所述寄存单元SH1~SH14032中的所述电荷包依序地由所述CCD位移寄存器30中移出;详细过程如下文所述。Under the control of the first and second clock pulse signals Φ 1 and Φ 2 , the charge packets in the register units SH 1 ~ SH 14032 are sequentially shifted out of the CCD shift register 30; detailed process as described below.

当t=t1时,Φ1=0而Φ2=V,所以奇数电极G14029~G14037下方没有产生势垒(potential barrier),但在偶数电极G14028~G14036下方形成阶梯形位垒(step barrier),如图4(b)所示。假定在偶数电极G14028~G14036下方存了代表逻辑1的电荷(以虚线表示)。When t=t 1 , Φ 1 =0 and Φ 2 =V, so there is no potential barrier under the odd-numbered electrodes G 14029 -G 14037 , but a ladder-shaped potential barrier is formed under the even-numbered electrodes G 14028 -G 14036 (step barrier), as shown in Figure 4(b). Assume that charges representing logic 1 are stored under the even-numbered electrodes G 14028 -G 14036 (indicated by dotted lines).

当t=t2时,Φ1=Φ2=V/2,此时除了电极G14033和G14034之外,每个电极(G1~G25600)下方的势垒分布的轮廓具有相同的形状,如图4(c)所示。轮廓图上的箭头表示当时间从t1向t2及t3增加时,奇数电极(G14029、G14031…等)下方的势垒升高而偶数电极(G14030、G14032…等)下方的势垒下降。When t=t 2 , Φ 12 =V/2, at this time, except for electrodes G 14033 and G 14034 , the contours of the potential barrier distribution under each electrode (G 1 ~ G 25600 ) have the same shape , as shown in Figure 4(c). Arrows on the contour plots indicate that as time increases from t 1 to t 2 and t 3 , the potential barrier rises under odd electrodes (G 14029 , G 14031 ... etc.) and under even electrodes (G 14030 , G 14032 ... etc.) The potential barrier drops.

在t=t3时,Φ1=3V/4,Φ2=V/4,出现如图4(d)所示的电位轮廓。因此,存在G14030和G14032电极下方的电荷就分别被转移至G14029和G14031电极位置的下方。At t=t 3 , Φ 1 =3V/4, Φ 2 =V/4, and the potential profile shown in Fig. 4(d) appears. Therefore, the charges existing under the G 14030 and G 14032 electrodes are transferred to under the positions of the G 14029 and G 14031 electrodes, respectively.

最后,当t=t4时,Φ1=V而Φ2=0,结果即如图4(e)所示的电位能分布轮廓。由t1到t4这一期间,电荷向右移动一个电极;同理,t5到t6和当t7到t8的期间,均会有电荷向右移动一个电极的情形产生。依照此一方式,存储于SH14033之前的电荷包会一一地被移出CCD位移寄存器30;而存储于SH14033之后的残留电荷,由于在电极G14033和G14034下方的势垒不会随着第一、第二时钟脉冲信号Φ1、Φ2变化,故而不会被移入SH14033之前的寄存单元中。Finally, when t=t 4 , Φ 1 =V and Φ 2 =0, the result is the potential energy distribution profile shown in Fig. 4(e). During the period from t 1 to t 4 , the charge moves one electrode to the right; similarly, the charge moves to the right by one electrode during the period from t 5 to t 6 and from t 7 to t 8 . According to this method, the charge packets stored before the SH 14033 will be shifted out of the CCD shift register 30 one by one; and the residual charges stored after the SH 14033 , because the potential barriers under the electrodes G 14033 and G 14034 will not follow The first and second clock pulse signals Φ 1 and Φ 2 change, so they will not be moved into the register unit before SH 14033 .

当所有存储于寄存单元SH14033之前的电荷包完全移出所述CCD位移寄存器30之后,即令上述多个图像感应单元(P1~Pn)再分别感应图像并产生对比于光线强度的电荷包,并重复所述步骤将电荷包寄存、及移出所述CCD位移寄存器30的步骤。After all the charge packets stored before the register unit SH 14033 are completely moved out of the CCD shift register 30, the above-mentioned multiple image sensing units (P 1 -P n ) are then respectively induced to generate images and generate charge packets that are compared to the light intensity, And repeat the steps of registering the charge packet and moving out of the CCD shift register 30 .

由本发明提出的方法可知,当所有存储于寄存单元SH14033之前的电荷包移出所述CCD位移寄存器30之后,应用上述加速方法之CCD图像检测装置即可以再进行图像扫描;然而,传统CCD图像检测装置,仍必须将残留的电荷包移出CCD位移寄存器,故传统CCD图像检测装置的处理效率远低于本发明提出的CCD图像检测装置。Known by the method that the present invention proposes, after all the charge packets stored in the register unit SH 14033 are moved out of the CCD shift register 30, the CCD image detection device using the above-mentioned acceleration method can perform image scanning again; however, the traditional CCD image detection device, the remaining charge packets must still be moved out of the CCD shift register, so the processing efficiency of the traditional CCD image detection device is far lower than that of the CCD image detection device proposed by the present invention.

虽然本发明已以较佳实施例揭露如上,然其并非用以限定本发明;例如,本发明调整改变能阶位垒的信号波形,并不限定于所述实施例中所提出信号波形。所以,任何本领域的技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,当可做些许的更动和润饰,因此本发明的保护范围应以权利要求范围所界定者为准。Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention; for example, the present invention adjusts and changes the signal waveform of the energy level barrier, and is not limited to the signal waveforms proposed in the above-mentioned embodiments. Therefore, any person skilled in the art may make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be defined by the claims.
