  • Publication number: 20180066664
    Abstract: A thin cooling fan includes a fan shell, a motor, a plurality of blades, and a PCB. The fan shell comprises a base plate and a shell cover which cover to each other to form an inner space. The base plate has a first surface facing toward the inner space and a second surface having a receiving space and opposite to the first surface. The motor is combined in the inner space. The blades are disposed in the inner space and rotated by the motor. The PCB is disposed in the receiving space and flush with the second surface. Thus, the whole thickness of the cooling fan is reduced and the flow channel design in the inner space is not affected.

  • Publication number: 20170338348
    Abstract: Operations in fabricating a Fin FET include providing a substrate having a fin structure, where an upper portion of the fin structure has a first fin surface profile. An isolation region is formed on the substrate and in contact with the fin structure. A portion of the isolation region is recessed by an etch process to form a recessed portion and to expose the upper portion of the fin structure, where the recessed portion has a first isolation surface profile. A thermal hydrogen treatment is applied to the fin structure and the recessed portion. A gate dielectric layer is formed with a substantially uniform thickness over the fin structure, where the recessed portion is adjusted from the first isolation surface profile to a second isolation surface profile and the fin structure is adjusted from the first fin surface profile to a second fin surface profile by the thermal hydrogen treatment.

  • Patent number: 8786513
    Abstract: A device for enhancing electromagnetic susceptibility comprises a first bridge. The first bridge is near to a first trace of a differential pair routing and electrically connects an RF grounding with an analog grounding. The RF grounding and the analog grounding are separated. The differential pair routing transmits signals between an RF circuit and an analog circuit. The first trace of the differential pair routing is closer to an antenna coupled to the RF grounding than a second trace of the differential pair routing. The RF circuit is coupled to the RF grounding, and the analog circuit is coupled to the analog grounding.
