Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a fin structure having a channel region protruding from an isolation insulating layer disposed over a semiconductor substrate is formed, a cleaning operation is performed, and an epitaxial semiconductor layer is formed over the channel region. The cleaning operation and the forming the epitaxial semiconductor layer are performed in a same chamber without breaking vacuum.

Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device includes a gate electrode, a gate dielectric layer, a channel layer, an insulating layer, a first source/drain electrode and a second source/drain electrode, a second dielectric layer, and a stop segment. The gate electrode is located within a first dielectric layer that overlies a substrate. The gate dielectric layer is located over the gate electrode. The channel layer is located on the gate dielectric layer. The insulating layer is located over the channel layer. The first source/drain electrode and the second source/drain electrode are located in the insulating layer, and connected to the channel layer. The second dielectric layer is beside one of the first source/drain electrode and the second source/drain electrode. The stop segment is embedded in the second dielectric layer.

Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to generating an output image using hybrid motion-compensated fusion techniques are described. An apparatus receives multi-frame data comprising a plurality of images consecutively captured. The apparatus subsequently generates a first intermediate image and a second intermediate image by performing temporal fusion on a first part and a second part of the multi-frame data, respectively. The apparatus further generates the output image using motion-compensated fusion based on the first and second intermediate images. The apparatus provides benefits of efficiently reducing noise and blurriness in the output image.

Abstract: A device uses a pressure-sensing touch screen to detect the pressure from a touch input on the touch screen. Based on whether the pressure is greater than a predetermined pressure value or not, and the type of the touch input, various picture-taking operations are performed.

Abstract: A method of resizing a web page that is displayed on a touch screen of an electronic device includes detecting pressure operation on the touch screen. A further pressure operation is detected when the pressure operation is identified to be valid. The web page is resized according to the further pressure operation.
