Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a CMOS image sensor having a multiple deep trench isolation (MDTI) structure, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the image sensor comprises a boundary deep trench isolation (BDTI) structure disposed at boundary regions of a pixel region surrounding a photodiode. The BDTI structure has a ring shape from a top view and two columns surrounding the photodiode with the first depth from a cross-sectional view. A multiple deep trench isolation (MDTI) structure is disposed at inner regions of the pixel region overlying the photodiode, the MDTI structure extending from the back-side of the substrate to a second depth within the substrate smaller than the first depth. The MDTI structure has three columns with the second depth between the two columns of the BDTI structure from the cross-sectional view. The MDTI structure is a continuous integral unit having a ring shape.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a device having a semiconductor substrate including a frontside and a backside. On the frontside of the semiconductor substrate are a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region. A gate electrode is arranged on the frontside of the semiconductor substrate and includes a horizontal portion, a first vertical portion, and a second vertical portion. The horizontal portion is arranged over the frontside of the semiconductor substrate and between the first and second source/drain regions. The first vertical portion extends from the frontside towards the backside of the semiconductor substrate and contacts the horizontal portion of the gate electrode structure. The second vertical portion extends from the frontside towards the backside of the semiconductor substrate, contacts the horizontal portion of the gate electrode structure, and is separated from the first vertical portion by a channel region of the substrate.

Abstract: A door handle assembly for use with a vehicle door comprising a door paddle including an actuation arm, supported to pivot about a first axis such that lateral acceleration of the paddle and actuation arm relative to the door produces a first moment about the first axis, and masses engaged with the actuation arm and supported to pivot about a second axis, the masses being arranged such that lateral acceleration of the masses relative to the door produces a second moment about the first axis that is substantially equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the first moment.

Abstract: An interlock system for a vehicle body with a sliding door and a fuel fill door includes a housing, a first member, a second member, and a spring. The first member is mounted with respect to the housing, defines a cam portion, and is selectively rotatable with respect to the housing in a first direction from a retracted position to an extended position. The second member is mounted with respect to the housing and is selectively rotatable with respect to the housing in the first direction between a first position and a second position. The spring interconnects the first and second members such that movement of the second member from the first position to the second position causes the first member to move from the retracted position to the extended position.

Abstract: A tube connecting assembly comprises at least one first tube; a plurality of inner liners; a periphery of each inner liner having a tapered shape; an inner periphery of each inner liner being formed with a convex portion; each inner liner enclosing a periphery of the first tube; at least one connecting structure each being formed by an assembly unit and a locking unit; the assembly unit assembled to an periphery of the first tube; the tightening unit being formed by a first tightening unit, a second tightening unit and a locking unit; each of the first tightening unit and second tightening unit has a respective inclined surface; at least one second tube enclosing the tightening unit; by screwing the locking unit, the first tightening unit and second tightening unit will engage at different orientations. The tube connecting assembly can be assembled and detached easily and conveniently.

Abstract: A frame assembly device includes a plurality of supporting tubes, a plurality of annular grooves, a plurality of inner liners, at least one the frame assembly, and at least one board. The external circle ring of the inner liner is formed as a tapered shape. A cambered convex portion is installed in a specific position of the internal circle ring of the inner liner. Besides, the inner liner is sheathed on the external circle ring of the supporting tube so that the cambered convex portion is positioned in the annular groove. The frame assembly has a plurality of connecting units and hollow connecting tubes. The relative sides of the external circle ring of the board have respectively a cambered concave portion. Besides, the boards are installed in the frame assemblies so that each cambered concave portion is capable of covering on the external circle ring of each hollow connecting tube.
