Patent number: 11984489Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a first device and a second device. The first device includes: a first gate structure formed over an active region and a first air spacer disposed adjacent to the first gate structure. The second device includes: a second gate structure formed over an isolation structure and a second air spacer disposed adjacent to the second gate structure. The first air spacer and the second air spacer have different sizes.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventors: Yi-Hsiu Liu, Feng-Cheng Yang, Tsung-Lin Lee, Wei-Yang Lee, Yen-Ming Chen, Yen-Ting Chen

Publication number: 20240088601Abstract: A multifunction connector is provided. A housing of the connector has a base portion, a pair of walls extending from the base portion in a longitudinal direction and separated by a gap, and a pair of wings extending from the base portion on opposite sides of the pair of walls and in a transverse direction. A pair of power conductors each is held by one of the walls and has contact portions curving into the gap. A pair of sense conductors each is held by one of the walls and has a contact portion curving into the gap and being offset from the contact portions of a respective power conductor along the longitudinal direction. A position identification subassembly is held by a first wall of the pair and separate from the gap by the first wall. A ground conductor is held by a second wall of the pair and separate from the gap by the second wall. Such a configuration enables the connector to carry high current, identify insertion position on a busbar, sense the degree of insertion, and/or provide grounding.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: FCI CONNECTORS DONGGUAN LTD.Inventors: Yi-Lin Liu, Yu-Lin Rao

Publication number: 20240088612Abstract: System and method to use position information about a power supply unit (PSU) within a system for status reporting or control. The system may have multiple slots into which the PSU may be installed, and each of multiple PSUs installed may sense position information, such as an indication of the slot into which it is installed. A controller may receive the position information in connection with status information such that faults or other events associated with a PSU may be reported to a system operator in connection with a position of the affected PSU. The controller may determine adjustments to operating parameters of the PSUs that are impacted by position and may direct commends to the appropriate PSU based on the position information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicants: FCI CONNECTORS DONGGUAN LTD., Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd.Inventors: Yi-Lin Liu, Yu-Lin Rao, Honghao Cao

Patent number: 11121509Abstract: An electrical connector, electrical connector assembly, electrical device and electrical interconnection system configured for use in electronic devices with direct connect orthogonal architectures. The electrical connector comprises: an insulating housing; at least one electrically conductive terminal, with at least a part of each of the at least one electrically conductive terminal being accommodated in the insulating housing; and a mounting flange, the mounting flange having a mounting hole for mounting the electrical connector to component PCB. A threaded connecting member may pass through the mounting hole and be connected to a first PCB. A portion of the mating interface part of the connector may extend below the mounting interface of the connector so as to abut an edge of the PCB. The electrical connector can simultaneously provide compactness and robustness.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: FCI CONNECTORS DONGGUAN LTD.Inventors: Hua-Kun Wei, Yi-Lin Liu
