Publication number: 20240145381Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates an integrated chip including a substrate. A conductive interconnect feature is arranged over the substrate. The conductive interconnect feature has a base feature portion with a base feature width and an upper feature portion with an upper feature width. The upper feature width is narrower than the base feature width such that the conductive interconnect feature has tapered outer feature sidewalls. An interconnect via is arranged over the conductive interconnect feature. The interconnect via has a base via portion with a base via width and an upper via portion with an upper via width. The upper via width is wider than the base via width such that the interconnect via has tapered outer via sidewalls.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Shin-Yi Yang, Hsin-Yen Huang, Ming-Han Lee, Shau-Lin Shue, Yu-Chen Chan, Meng-Pei Lu

Publication number: 20240100553Abstract: A sprayer, comprising: a container, configured to contain liquid; a passage, comprising a first opening, a second opening, a resonator and a mesh, when the liquid is passed through the resonator, the liquid is emitted as a gas; a first optical sensor, configured to sense first optical data of at least portion of the mesh or at least portion of a surface of the container; and a processing circuit, configured to compute a foaming level of the mesh or of the surface according to the first optical data, and configured to determine whether the resonator should be turned off or not according to the foaming level. In another aspect, the processing circuit estimates a liquid level of the liquid but does not correspondingly turn off the resonator. By this way, the resonator may be turned on or turned off more properly and the liquid level may be more precisely estimated.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: PixArt Imaging Inc.Inventors: Shih-Jen Lu, Yang-Ming Chou, Chih-Hao Wang, Chien-Yi Kao, Hsin-Yi Lin
