  • Publication number: 20240153943
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device comprises a source region and a drain region in a substrate and laterally spaced. A gate stack is over the substrate and between the source region and the drain region. The drain region includes two or more first doped regions having a first doping type in the substrate. The drain region further includes one or more second doped regions in the substrate. The first doped regions have a greater concentration of first doping type dopants than the second doped regions, and each of the second doped regions is disposed laterally between two neighboring first doped regions.

  • Publication number: 20190171198
    Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing system includes an operating terminal, a first controller, and a plurality of second controllers. The operating terminal controls a main controller. Each of the plurality of second controllers is electrically connected to the first controller. In an initial or default state, the operating terminal controls the first controller as a main controller, and when the first controller fails, the operating terminal controls one of the plurality of the second controllers as a main controller, the others of the plurality of second controllers being controlled by the main controller.
