Patents by Inventor Shi-Jiun WANG

Shi-Jiun WANG has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240038921
    Abstract: A device includes an active region, an isolation structure, a gate structure, an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer, a reading contact, and a sensing contact. The isolation structure laterally surrounds the active region. The gate structure is across the active region. The ILD layer laterally surrounds the gate structure. The reading contact is in contact with the isolation structure and is separated from the gate structure by a first portion of the ILD layer. The sensing contact is in contact with the isolation structure and is separated from the gate structure by a second portion of the ILD layer.

  • Publication number: 20230378377
    Abstract: A device includes a detector, a sensing pad, a ring structure, a control circuit, a first transistor, and a second transistor. The sensing pad is electrically connected to the detector. The ring structure is over the sensing pad and includes an upper conductive ring and a lower conductive ring between the upper conductive ring and the sensing pad. The first transistor interconnects the upper conductive ring and the control circuit. The second transistor interconnects the lower conductive ring and the control circuit.

  • Patent number: 11824133
    Abstract: A device includes a semiconductor fin, an isolation structure, a gate structure, source/drain structures, a sensing contact, a sensing pad structure, and a reading contact. The semiconductor fin includes a channel region and source/drain regions on opposite sides of the channel region. The isolation structure laterally surrounds the semiconductor fin. The gate structure is over the channel region of the semiconductor fin. The source/drain structures are respectively over the source/drain regions of the semiconductor fin. The sensing contact is directly on the isolation structure and adjacent to the gate structure. The sensing pad structure is connected to the sensing contact. The reading contact is directly on the isolation structure and adjacent to the gate structure.
