Abstract: A method includes creating a layout design of the integrated circuit after determining a difference between the poly extension effect of a p-type transistor and the poly extension effect of an n-type transistor. Creating the layout design includes forming first-type active zone patterns, forming second-type active zone patterns, generating a gate-strip pattern, and positioning the gate-strip pattern over the first-type active zone patterns and the second-type active zone patterns. Creating the layout design also includes determining whether to generate one or more poly cut patterns that intersect the gate-strip, based on the difference between the poly extension effect of a p-type transistor and the poly extension effect of an n-type transistor.

Abstract: An exemplary base includes a heat absorber and clips attached to the heat absorber. The heat absorber includes a top surface and a bottom surface. A pair of receiving grooves is defined in opposite lateral sides of the heat absorber, respectively. Each receiving groove is located above a level of the bottom surface and below a level of the top surface. Each clip includes a positioning beam. The positioning beam is received in a corresponding one of the receiving grooves with a portion of the heat absorber adjacent to the positioning beam deformed and fixed in the positioning beam thereby fixing the positioning beam in the receiving groove. A heat dissipating module having the base is also provided.

Abstract: An exemplary heat sink includes elongated fins stacked together. Each of the fins includes a first dissipating portion and a second dissipating portion arranged in turn along a longitudinal axis of the fin. The first dissipating portion and the second dissipating portion of each fin are offset from each other along a stacked axis of the fins. An opening is defined in each fin between the first dissipating portion and the second dissipating portion thereof.

Abstract: An exemplary structure includes a first body, a second body and a screw. The screw includes a head and an elongated pole extending from the head. Plural external threads are formed on the pole. The first body defines a through hole with a diameter not smaller than the major diameter of the external threads. The second body defining a latching hole comprising a first portion adjacent to the first body and a second portion farthest away the first body. Plural internal threads matching the external threads are formed on the second body around the first portion. A diameter of the second portion is larger than the major diameter of the external threads. The pole extends through the through hole and threadedly engaged with the internal threads. A free end of the pole farthest away the head is received in the second portion and apart from the second body.
