Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a fin structure. A source/drain region is formed on the fin structure. A first gate structure is disposed over the fin structure. A source/drain contact is disposed over the source/drain region. The source/drain contact has a protruding segment that protrudes at least partially over the first gate structure. The source/drain contact electrically couples together the source/drain region and the first gate structure.

Abstract: Epitaxial source/drain structures for enhancing performance of multigate devices, such as fin-like field-effect transistors (FETs) or gate-all-around (GAA) FETs, and methods of fabricating the epitaxial source/drain structures, are disclosed herein. An exemplary device includes a dielectric substrate. The device further includes a channel layer, a gate disposed over the channel layer, and an epitaxial source/drain structure disposed adjacent to the channel layer. The channel layer, the gate, and the epitaxial source/drain structure are disposed over the dielectric substrate. The epitaxial source/drain structure includes an inner portion having a first dopant concentration and an outer portion having a second dopant concentration that is less than the first dopant concentration. The inner portion physically contacts the dielectric substrate, and the outer portion is disposed between the inner portion and the channel layer. In some embodiments, the outer portion physically contacts the dielectric substrate.

Abstract: Methods and devices including an air gap adjacent a contact element extending to a source/drain feature of a device are described. Some embodiments of the method include depositing a dummy layer, which is subsequently removed to form the air gap. The dummy layer and subsequent air gap may be formed after a SAC dielectric layer such as silicon nitride is formed over an adjacent metal gate structure.

Abstract: A connector includes an insulated housing having a slot and a transmission assembly located inside the insulated housing. The transmission assembly includes a main circuit board, an expanded circuit board, a plurality of first terminals and at least one second terminal. The expanded circuit board is stacked on the main circuit board and a first lateral side and a second lateral side of the expanded circuit board which are opposite to each other has a plurality of first electrical contacts and at least one second electrical contact, respectively. The first terminals and the at least one second terminal are plugged in the main circuit board. One ends of the first terminals are in electrical contact with the first electrical contacts respectively. The other ends of the first terminals bend and extend towards the second lateral side of the expanded circuit board.

Abstract: A terminal module used in an RJ45 female connector in which the first transmission terminal includes a triangle support portion having a downward bent downwardly extended from the bonding portion and an upward bent connected with the lower end thereof to the downward bent and the upper end thereof to the contact portion. The eighth transmission terminal includes a support portion obliquely upwardly from the bonding portion and terminating in the contact portion. Further, the contained angle defined between the inner end of the bonding portion of the eighth transmission terminal and the support portion and the contained angle defined between the contact portion of the eighth transmission terminal and the support portion are arc guide angles. These terminal shapes are used to prevent terminal deformation upon insertion of a non-matching male connector.

Abstract: A terminal holder structure installed in a RJ45 dual-port jack is disclosed to include a plastic intermediate bracket mounted on a middle part of a circuit board to hold the 3rd and 5th terminals of a first set of terminals numbered from 1st through 8th and the 3rd and 5th terminals of a second set of terminals numbered from 1st through 8th in reversed directions so that the distance? between the 3rd and 5th terminals of the first set of terminals and the 3rd and 5th terminals of the second set of terminals is extended for crosstalk compensation to avoid crosstalk interference in the RJ45 dual-port jack.
