Patent number: 11916146Abstract: A device includes a semiconductor fin, and a gate stack on sidewalls and a top surface of the semiconductor fin. The gate stack includes a high-k dielectric layer, a work-function layer overlapping a bottom portion of the high-k dielectric layer, and a blocking layer overlapping a second bottom portion of the work-function layer. A low-resistance metal layer overlaps and contacts the work-function layer and the blocking layer. The low-resistance metal layer has a resistivity value lower than second resistivity values of both of the work-function layer and the blocking layer. A gate spacer contacts a sidewall of the gate stack.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Chung-Chiang Wu, Po-Cheng Chen, Kuo-Chan Huang, Hung-Chin Chung, Hsien-Ming Lee, Chien-Hao Chen

Patent number: 11917445Abstract: A method performed by a BS for CHO is provided. The method includes transmitting a CHO command to a UE, the CHO command including a CHO command ID and a measurement ID associated with the CHO command ID; causing the UE to execute the CHO command to handover to a target BS when a trigger condition associated with the measurement ID is fulfilled; causing the UE to forgo transmitting the measurement report during the execution of the CHO command despite the UE being configured, via a report configuration associated with the measurement ID, to transmit the measurement report; transmitting, to the UE, a message that causes the UE to remove the CHO command; and after transmitting the message to the UE, determining that the report configuration is removed by the UE without transmitting, to the UE, an instruction to remove the report configuration.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: FG Innovation Company LimitedInventors: Hung-Chen Chen, Yung-Lan Tseng, Mei-Ju Shih, Chie-Ming Chou

Patent number: 11881025Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device includes an image sensor to capture a source image. In some examples, the electronic device includes a processor to determine, in the source image, a first region that depicts a first person and a second region that depicts a second person. In some examples, the processor is to, in response to determining that the first person is further away than the second person relative to the image sensor based on the first region and the second region, generate a first focus cell that depicts the first person alone. In some examples, the processor is to generate a macro view of the source image that depicts the first person and the second person. In some examples, the processor is to instruct display of a compound image including the macro view and the first focus cell.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Chih-Chen Hung, Hung-Ming Chen, Chia-Wen Chuang

Patent number: 11862126Abstract: An example non-transitory machine-readable storage medium includes instructions to, when executed by the processor, identify an object depicted in a video scene, wherein the video scene is displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI). The example instructions are executable to 1) identify coordinates of the object depicted in the video scene, wherein the coordinates are relative to the GUI and 2) identify coordinates of an inset window which is smaller than the GUI and overlaps the video scene. The example instructions are executable to compare the coordinates of the object with the coordinates of the inset window to determine an overlap of the inset window with the object. Responsive to an identified overlap of the inset window and the object, the instructions are executable to alter a display characteristic of the inset window to avoid the overlap of the inset window with the object.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Chih-Chen Hung, Hung-Ming Chen, Chia-Wen Chuang

Publication number: 20220301944Abstract: A high atomic number material is applied to one or more surfaces of a semiconductor structure of a wafer. The one or more surfaces are at a depth different from a depth of a surface of the wafer. An electron beam is scanned over the semiconductor structure to cause a backscattered electron signal to be collected at a collector. A profile scan of the semiconductor structure is generated based on an intensity of the backscattered electron signal, at the collector, resulting from the high atomic number material. The high atomic number material increases the intensity of the backscattered electron signal for the one or more surfaces of the semiconductor structure such that contrast in the profile scan is increased. The increased contrast of the profile scan enables accurate critical dimension measurements of the semiconductor structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2021Publication date: September 22, 2022Applicant: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company LimitedInventors: Pei-Hsuan LEE, Hung-Ming CHEN, Kuang-Shing CHEN, Yu-Hsiang CHENG, Xiaomeng CHEN
