  • Patent number: 10170312
    Abstract: Present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer with an epitaxial layer at a front surface of the semiconductor wafer, including providing the semiconductor wafer with a first dopant concentration of a dopant having a first conductivity type, forming a polysilicon layer over the front surface, removing the polysilicon layer from the front surface, and depositing the epitaxial layer at the front surface with a second dopant concentration of the dopant having the first conductivity type under a predetermined temperature. A transition width of the dopant having the first conductivity type across the semiconductor wafer and the epitaxial layer is controlled by the predetermined temperature to be at least about 0.75 micrometer. A semiconductor device and a semiconductor wafer with an epitaxial layer at a front surface of the semiconductor wafer are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8216518
    Abstract: A plasmon resonance sensing system includes a light source, a waveguide component and a photon detector. The light source provides an incident light. The waveguide component has a tubular internal wall and a noble metal nanoparticle layer disposed on the tubular internal wall and contacted with a desired testing matter. The waveguide component is made of a light transmitting material for guiding the incident light to have an interaction with the noble metal nanoparticle layer. The photon detector detects an emergent light exiting the waveguide component after the interaction of the noble metal nanoparticle layer with the desired testing matter. The system further includes a first optical fiber installed between the light source and the waveguide component for transmitting the incident light to the waveguide component, a lens and a second optical fiber. The lens collects and transmits the emergent light to the photon detector through the second optical fiber.

  • Patent number: 8208048
    Abstract: A method for high dynamic range imaging includes the steps of arranging at least two cameras parallel and meanwhile capturing a plurality of images of one scene with different exposures by the at least two cameras; adjusting the captured images for the same exposure thereof subject to the response functions of the cameras respectively and then defining a plurality of characteristic spots in each of the images; combining the characteristic spots corresponding to the images respectively to get a displacement of the corresponding characteristic spot in each image and to further get a disparity map; and applying the displacement between the two corresponding characteristic spots in the corresponding images and synthesizing the images to form a synthetic image.
