  • Publication number: 20240145302
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing an interconnecting metal layer thereof are provided. The semiconductor device includes a gate layer, a dielectric layer, an insulating layer, an epitaxial layer, and a sidewall liner. The dielectric layer is disposed on one side of the gate layer, the insulating layer is disposed on another side of the gate layer, the epitaxial layer is located on the insulating layer, and the sidewall liner penetrates the dielectric layer and the gate layer, and one end of the sidewall liner is connected to the epitaxial layer. The sidewall liner is converted from a high-k material to a low-k material by hydrogen and oxygen plasma treatments.

  • Publication number: 20240087960
    Abstract: A method may include forming a mask layer on top of a first dielectric layer formed on a first source/drain and a second source/drain, and creating an opening in the mask layer and the first dielectric layer that exposes portions of the first source/drain and the second source/drain. The method may include filling the opening with a metal layer that covers the exposed portions of the first source/drain and the second source/drain, and forming a gap in the metal layer to create a first metal contact and a second metal contact. The first metal contact may electrically couple to the first source/drain and the second metal contact may electrically couple to the second source/drain. The gap may separate the first metal contact from the second metal contact by less than nineteen nanometers.

  • Patent number: 8904820
    Abstract: A wearable dining utensil comprises a rigid function portion for engaging food, a holder for holding the dining utensil, a shapeable connector having a third linking part and a fourth linking part for fixing a bendable portion, and a fifth linking part having an outlet for linking with the fourth linking part. One end of the rigid function portion also serves as a male linker and the opposite end has a first linking part. One end of the holder serves as a female linker for linking with the male linker, and the opposite end has a second linking part. When the female linker is linked with the male linker, the dining utensil forms a loop, and when the outlet is linked with the fourth linking part, the dining utensil forms a regular utensil. According to various connecting profiles, the dining utensils can form a bracelet, necklace or an ornament.

  • Publication number: 20100235274
    Abstract: An anti-terror platform for securing a community against terrorisms is disclosed. The platform includes following elements: (1) an anti-terror system, with an anti-terror server via a closed network connecting to a plurality of pre-contracted stations, wherein the closed network isn't invaded by a hacker; (2) an inputting frame, configured in the pre-contracted stations for inputting and transmitting terror data to the anti-terror server; (3) an anti-terror database, configured in the anti-terror server and maintained by an anti-terror expert system for receiving and correlating the terror data with historic terror data of the anti-terror database; (4) a resolving module, configured in the anti-terror server for estimating a probability of terrorism based on a result correlated by the anti-terror database and obtaining a terror warning according to the probability; and (5) a broadcasting module, configured in the anti-terror server for informing the pre-contracted stations of the terror warning.
