  • Publication number: 20240162833
    Abstract: A power supply unit supplies power to a load, and the power supply unit includes a power factor corrector, a DC conversion module, and an isolated conversion module. The power factor corrector is plugged into a first main circuit board and converts an AC power into a DC power. The DC conversion module is plugged into the first main circuit board and converts the DC power into a main power. The isolated conversion module includes a bus capacitor, the bus capacitor is coupled to the DC conversion module through a first power copper bar, and coupled to the power factor corrector through a second power copper bar. The first power copper bar and the second power copper bar are arranged on a side opposite to the first main circuit board, and are arranged in parallel with the first main circuit board.

  • 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. The backside via straddles the dielectric feature and is in electrical connection with the first and second epitaxial features.
