  • Publication number: 20240134135
    Abstract: This is a type of pluggable optoelectronic transceiver that operates while immersed in cooling fluid for data transmission. The pluggable optoelectronic transceiver consists of an optical module, fluid separating colloid, and colloid separating cover. The fluid separating colloid serves to keep the cooling fluid separate from the optical module, while the colloid separating cover further ensures separation between the fluid separating colloid and the optical module. This design prevents the cooling fluid and the fluid separating colloid from infiltrating the optical module and affecting its operation.

  • Publication number: 20060110882
    Abstract: A method of forming a gate structure, including forming sequentially a gate dielectric layer, a conductive layer, a protective layer, a sacrificial layer, and a patterned mask layer over a substrate. The exposed sacrificial layer is removed by using the patterned mask layer as an etching mask and the protective layer as an etching stop layer. Spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the sacrificial layer. Subsequently, the exposed protective layer and the conductive layer are removed by using the spacers and the sacrificial layer as etching masks, so as to form gate structures. By forming the protective layer on the conductive layer, the present invention can avoid the top surface of each gate structure from generating sharp corners and also increase the width of each gate structure.
