  • Patent number: 11984353
    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming a capacitor structure. The method includes forming a capacitor dielectric layer over a lower electrode layer, and forming an upper electrode layer over the capacitor dielectric layer. The upper electrode layer is etched to define an upper electrode and to expose a part of the capacitor dielectric layer. A spacer structure is formed over horizontally extending surfaces of the upper electrode layer and the capacitor dielectric layer and also along sidewalls of the upper electrode. The spacer structure is etched to remove the spacer structure from over the horizontally extending surfaces of the upper electrode layer and the capacitor dielectric layer and to define a spacer. The capacitor dielectric layer and the lower electrode layer are etched according to the spacer to define a capacitor dielectric and a lower electrode.

    Abstract: An operation-indication mode switching structure, a circuit, and a method for operating the same are provided. The operation-indication mode switching structure is disposed on a housing of a device, and includes a switching mechanism that is used to switch multiple operation-indication modes. The switching mechanism is selectively connected with one of multiple signal terminals. When the switching mechanism is manipulated to switch to one of the operation-indication modes, a control unit of the device receives an operation-indication mode switching signal generated by the switching mechanism conducting or circuit-shorting one of the multiple signal terminals. A corresponding operation-indication mode that is a covert mode, a stealth mode, or a normal mode can be determined. The control unit is used to control an indication function of the device according to the operation-indication mode that is switched to.
