Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device that controls a strain on a channel region by forming a dielectric material in recesses, adjacent to a channel region, in order to provide control over a volume and shape of a strain inducing material of epitaxial source/drain regions formed within the recesses. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device has epitaxial source/drain regions arranged in recesses within an upper surface of a semiconductor body on opposing sides of a channel region. A gate structure is arranged over the channel region, and a dielectric material is arranged laterally between the epitaxial source/drain regions and the channel region. The dielectric material consumes some volume of the recesses, thereby reducing a volume of strain inducing material in epitaxial source/drain regions formed in the recesses.

Abstract: An information displaying apparatus having a touch-panel display unit is provided. An information obtaining unit obtains explanation information of a direction word specified by user, and displays the obtained explanation information of the direction word on the touch-panel displaying unit. When the user touches on the touch-panel display unit, a multi-touch detecting unit detects touch positions on the touch-panel display unit. A shift judging unit judges whether a distance between the detected touch positions has increased or decreased, when the user shifts the touch positions on the touch-panel display unit. A display-information controlling unit displays detailed explanation information of the direction word, when the shift judging unit determines that the distance between the touch positions has increased, and displays simplified explanation information of the direction word, when the shift judging unit determines that the distance between the touch positions has decreased.
