Patent number: 11978802Abstract: Provided are FinFET devices and methods of forming the same. A dummy gate having gate spacers on opposing sidewalls thereof is formed over a substrate. A dielectric layer is formed around the dummy gate. An upper portion of the dummy gate is removed and upper portions of the gate spacers are removed, so as to form a first opening in the dielectric layer. A lower portion of the dummy gate is removed to form a second opening below the first opening. A metal layer is formed in the first and second openings. The metal layer is partially removed to form a metal gate.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Chung-Wei Hsu, Chih-Hao Wang, Huan-Chieh Su, Wei-Hao Wu, Zhi-Chang Lin, Jia-Ni Yu

Publication number: 20240145470Abstract: A method for processing an integrated circuit includes forming first and second gate all around transistors. The method forms a dipole oxide in the first gate all around transistor without forming the dipole oxide in the second gate all around transistor. This is accomplished by entirely removing an interfacial dielectric layer and a dipole-inducing layer from semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor before redepositing the interfacial dielectric layer on the semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Lung-Kun CHU, Mao-Lin HUANG, Chung-Wei HSU, Jia-Ni YU, Kuo-Cheng CHIANG, Kuan-Lun CHENG, Chih-Hao WANG

Patent number: 11124258Abstract: A bicycle bottom bracket set has two bearing cups, the bearing cup has a built-in ring, a tightening socket and a bearing. The built-in ring and the tightening socket are provided with a guiding end and a connecting portion. When the bearing cup screw is installed, the guiding end of the built-in ring can be gradually opened and pressed against the inner wall of the bottom bracket. When the bottom bracket has inner diameter offsets caused by the heat expansion and contraction factor or the poor processing, the combination of the forced tension of the bearing cup can achieve the purpose of structurally limiting. The stability of the structural installation while ensuring the safety of the structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: MING SUEY PRECISION INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventor: Jia-Wei Hsu
