Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a Fin FET, a fin structure extending in a first direction is formed over a substrate. An isolation insulating layer is formed over the substrate so that an upper portion of the fin structure is exposed from the isolation insulating layer.

A fin mask layer is formed on sidewalls of a source/drain region of the fin structure. The source/drain region of the fin structure is recessed. An epitaxial source/drain structure is formed over the recessed fin structure.

Abstract: An asymmetric half-bridge converter is provided. The asymmetric half-bridge converter includes a switch circuit, a resonance tank, a current sensor, and a controller. The current sensor senses a waveform of a resonance current flowing through the resonance tank to generate a sensing result. The controller determines the sensing result.

When the sensing result indicates that the ending current value of the primary resonance waveform is less than or equal to the predetermined value, the controller performs a second switching operation on the switch circuit.
