Publication number: 20240072155Abstract: A method includes forming a transistor, which includes forming a dummy gate stack over a semiconductor region, and forming an Inter-Layer Dielectric (ILD). The dummy gate stack is in the ILD, and the ILD covers a source/drain region in the semiconductor region. The method further includes removing the dummy gate stack to form a trench in the first ILD, forming a low-k gate spacer in the trench, forming a replacement gate dielectric extending into the trench, forming a metal layer to fill the trench, and performing a planarization to remove excess portions of the replacement gate dielectric and the metal layer to form a gate dielectric and a metal gate, respectively. A source region and a drain region are then formed on opposite sides of the metal gate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Kuo-Hua Pan, Je-Wei Hsu, Hua Feng Chen, Jyun-Ming Lin, Chen-Huang Peng, Min-Yann Hsieh, Java Wu

Patent number: 9013897Abstract: A power supply applied to an electronic device for providing power includes a transformer unit, a connector, a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control unit, and a switch unit. The connector is electrically connected with the secondary side of the transformer unit for outputting a first output voltage. The PWM control unit outputs a pulse signal with a first period. The switch unit is electrically connected between the PWM control unit and the primary side of the transformer unit. When the electronic device is connected to the power supply, the connector receives an external control signal, and the PWM control unit adjusts the pulse width of the pulse signal to a second period and transmits the pulse signal with the second period to the switch unit to control the connector to output a second output voltage to the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2012Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.Inventor: Min-Hua Hsu

Patent number: 8506318Abstract: A connector module includes a first connector, a first electrode, a second connector and a second electrode. The first connector has a plug hole. The first electrode is disposed in the plug hole. The second connector has a connecting portion. A projecting area of the connecting portion is larger than that area of the plug hole. The second electrode is disposed at the connecting portion. When the connecting portion is disposed in the first connector, the first electrode contacts the second electrode and an inner wall of the plug hole restrains the connecting portion from detaching from the plug hole. An electronic device with the connector module is also disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2012Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Asustek Computer Inc.Inventors: Chih-Cheng Liao, Kuo-Wei Tsao, Kuan-Ting Chen, Yu-Wei Su, Min-Hua Hsu
