  • Publication number: 20230352594
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a semiconductor device structure. In one embodiment, the semiconductor device structure includes a source/drain feature over a substrate, a plurality of semiconductor layers over the substrate, a gate electrode layer surrounding a portion of each of the plurality of the semiconductor layers, a gate dielectric layer in contact with the gate electrode layer, and a cap layer. The cap layer has a first portion disposed between the plurality of semiconductor layers and the source/drain feature and a second portion extending outwardly from opposing ends of the first portion. The semiconductor device structure further includes a dielectric spacer disposed between and in contact with the source/drain feature and the second portion of the cap layer.

  • Patent number: 9529126
    Abstract: A Fresnel zone plate is provided for encountering incident light having a wavelength. The Fresnel zone plate has a focal length and a wafer including alternating transparent and opaque zones, and a mourning surface. A plurality of silicon nanowires extend into opaque zone of the wafer. A mechanically stretchable tuning structure is mounted to the mounting surface such that stretching of the tuning structure varies the focal length of the Fresnel zone plate.
