    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a first region and a second region, insulators, gate stacks, and first and second S/Ds. The first and second regions respectively includes at least one first semiconductor fin and at least one second semiconductor fin. A width of a middle portion of the first semiconductor fin is equal to widths of end portions of the first semiconductor fin. A width of a middle portion of the second semiconductor fin is smaller than widths of end portions of the second semiconductor fin. The insulators are disposed on the semiconductor substrate. The first and second semiconductor fins are sandwiched by the insulators. The gate stacks are over a portion of the first semiconductor fin and a portion of the second semiconductor fin. The first and second S/Ds respectively covers another portion of the first semiconductor fin and another portion of the second semiconductor fin.

  • Publication number: 20240077196
    Abstract: A lamp structure of an umbrella contains a body, an illumination device, and a control pusher. The body includes a shaft, a notch, a runner slidably, and multiple stretchers. The illumination device includes at least one lighting element, a circuit board, and a battery. The circuit board has a control switch, when the runner is moved upward to push the illumination device, the umbrella is opened. The control pusher is connected to the runner and includes a controlling element. The control pusher is slid vertically with respect to the shaft and is switched in three-section positions, such that the control pusher is slid to a first position, a second position, and a third position relative to the shaft to drive the control switch to be conducted or not so that the circuit board controls the at least one lighting element to power on or off.
