  • Publication number: 20170133793
    Abstract: A bidirectional access portable flash drive includes a casing, which defines therein a receiving space that receives a circuit board mounted therein. The circuit board has a surface on which a memory unit is mounted. The casing has an end to which a double-side pluggable micro-USB connector is mounted. The double-side pluggable micro-USB connector includes a frame and a plate mounted at a predetermined location in the frame. The plate has two surfaces each including a plurality of conductor elements mounted thereon. The plate has two ends at which at least one fixing element is mounted. The memory unit enables effective access and storage of data and the double-side pluggable micro-USB connector provides functions of double-side plugging and protection to achieve an effect of convenient transmission, access, and use of data.

  • Patent number: 9312357
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same. The method includes steps hereinafter. A substrate is provided with a first dielectric layer thereon. The first dielectric layer is provided with a trench. Then, a metal layer is formed to fill the trench and to cover the surface of the first dielectric layer. The metal layer is partially removed so that a remaining portion of the metal layer covers the first dielectric layer. A treatment process is performed to transform the remaining portion of the metal layer into a passivation layer on the top portion and a gate metal layer on the bottom portion. A chemical-mechanical polishing process is performed until the first dielectric layer is exposed so that a remaining portion of the passivation layer remains in the trench.
