Patent number: 11948972Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods for the formation of high-voltage nano-sheet transistors and low-voltage gate-all-around transistors on a common substrate. The method includes forming a fin structure with first and second nano-sheet layers on the substrate. The method also includes forming a gate structure having a first dielectric and a first gate electrode on the fin structure and removing portions of the fin structure not covered by the gate structure. The method further includes partially etching exposed surfaces of the first nano-sheet layers to form recessed portions of the first nano-sheet layers in the fin structure and forming a spacer structure on the recessed portions. In addition, the method includes replacing the first gate electrode with a second dielectric and a second gate electrode, and forming an epitaxial structure abutting the fin structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yu-Xuan Huang, Chia-En Huang, Ching-Wei Tsai, Kuan-Lun Cheng, Yih Wang

Publication number: 20240107414Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for switching a secondary cell to a primary cell. A user equipment (UE) monitors a first radio condition of the UE for beams of a primary cell and a second radio condition for beams of one or more secondary cells configured for the UE in carrier aggregation. The UE transmits a request to configure a candidate beam of at least one candidate secondary cell as a new primary cell in response to the first radio condition not satisfying a first threshold and the second radio condition for the at least one candidate secondary cell satisfying a second threshold. A base station determines to reconfigure at least one secondary cell as the new primary cell. The base station and the UE perform a handover of the UE to the new primary cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Yu-Chieh HUANG, Kuhn-Chang LIN, Jen-Chun CHANG, Wen-Hsin HSIA, Chia-Jou LU, Sheng-Chih WANG, Chenghsin LIN, Yeong Leong CHOO, Chun-Hsiang CHIU, Chihhung HSIEH, Kai-Chun CHENG, Chung Wei LIN

Patent number: 10864586Abstract: An electrochemical machining device includes a plurality of electrodes, a guiding member and a plate member. The electrodes are disposed around a workpiece. The guiding member is configured to limit and guide each of the electrodes to move. The plate member is configured to exert a force to each of the electrodes. The driving member is configured to rotate the workpiece. The plate member is connected to each of the electrodes. A force-exerting direction of the force from the plate member to each of the electrodes is parallel to a central axis of each of the electrodes or deflects off the central axis. Each of the electrodes is passed through the guiding member and configured to perform a machining on the workpiece which is rotated by the driving member, and each of the electrodes has an electrochemical machining direction which is perpendicular, oblique or parallel to the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2017Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: INTAI TECHNOLOGY CORP.Inventors: Yung-Fang Tsai, Chia-Wei Cheng

Patent number: 10737341Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electrochemical machining apparatus including a pressurized tank, a cap, a stabilizing plate, a guiding element, and an electrode. The pressurizing tank has a top surface and a chamber, wherein the top surface is disposed with an opening and a limiting portion. The cap fits in the opening and is limited by the limiting portion to seal the pressurized tank. The stabilizing plate is spaced from the top surface or the cap by a distance. The guiding element penetrates the stabilizing plate to connect with the cap and provides a channel to the chamber. The electrode is guided by the guiding element and penetrates the chamber via the channel. When the electrode processes a workpiece in the chamber during an electrochemical machining operation, the cap takes a pressure generated during the electrochemical machining operation, and the stabilizing plate stabilizes the electrode and the guiding element.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: INTAI TECHNOLOGY CORP.Inventors: Yung-Fang Tsai, Chia-Wei Cheng
