  • Publication number: 20240154015
    Abstract: A method includes forming a first fin and a second fin protruding from a frontside of a substrate, forming a gate stack over the first and second fins, forming a dielectric feature dividing the gate stack into a first segment engaging the first fin and a second segment engaging the second fin, and growing a first epitaxial feature on the first fin and a second epitaxial feature on the second fin. The dielectric feature is disposed between the first and second epitaxial features. The method also includes performing an etching process on a backside of the substrate to form a backside trench, and forming a backside via in the backside trench. The backside trench exposes the dielectric feature and the first and second epitaxial features.

  • Patent number: 10285305
    Abstract: A heat dissipating system includes a wind tunnel, a first electronic element, and a second electronic element. The wind tunnel defines a top air inlet channel and a separated bottom, and a top air discharging channel and a separated bottom air discharging channel. Air entering the bottom air inlet channel dissipates heat produced by the first electronic element to the top air discharging channel, to flow out of the wind tunnel. Air entering the top air inlet channel flows to the bottom air discharging channel to dissipate heat produced by the second electronic element, this arrangement avoids heated air from one element being exhausted onto another element.
