Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, an n-type source/drain epitaxial layer and a p-type source/drain epitaxial layer respectively formed, a dielectric layer is formed over the n-type source/drain epitaxial layer and the p-type source/drain epitaxial layer, a first opening is formed in the dielectric layer to expose a part of the n-type source/drain epitaxial layer and a second opening is formed in the dielectric layer to expose a part of the p-type source/drain epitaxial layer, and the n-type source/drain epitaxial layer and the p-type source/drain epitaxial layer respectively recessed. A recessing amount of the n-type source/drain epitaxial layer is different from a recessing amount of the p-type source/drain epitaxial layer.

Abstract: The invention discloses a reticle pod including a base and a lid mounted to the base. The base has a bottom surface having at least one first mark and at least one second mark. The first mark has a first reflectivity relative to a light source, and the second mark has a second reflectivity relative to the light source. The first reflectivity is different from the second reflectivity, and both are also different from that of the rest area of the bottom surface.

Abstract: A method includes forming a dummy gate over a semiconductor fin; forming a source/drain epitaxial structure over the semiconductor fin and adjacent to the dummy gate; depositing an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer to cover the source/drain epitaxial structure; replacing the dummy gate with a gate structure; forming a dielectric structure to cut the gate structure, wherein a portion of the dielectric structure is embedded in the ILD layer; recessing the portion of the dielectric structure embedded in the ILD layer; after recessing the portion of the dielectric structure, removing a portion of the ILD layer over the source/drain epitaxial structure; and forming a source/drain contact in the ILD layer and in contact with the portion of the dielectric structure.

Abstract: A method for generating and outputting a message is implemented using an electronic device the stores a computer program product and a text database. The text database includes a main message template, a template text that includes a placeholder, and a word group that includes a plurality of preset words for replacing the placeholder. The method includes: in response to receipt of a command for execution of the computer program product, displaying an editing interface including the main message template; in response to receipt of user operation of a selection of the main message template, displaying the template text; in response to receipt of user operation of a selection of one of the preset words via the user interface, generating an edited text by replacing the placeholder with the one of the preset words in the template text; and outputting the edited text as a message.

Abstract: A computer system includes an openflow switch, configured to receive a plurality of packets; a network controller, coupled to the openflow switch and configured to determine a route of each of the plurality of packets; and a detecting and defending system, configured to perform transformation of information formats of the plurality of packets, retrieve and label the plurality of packets to determine whether the plurality of packets are abnormal or not and generate a defending determination.
