  • Publication number: 20140013271
    Abstract: An activity screen or multitasking screen for a mobile device includes a plurality of tiles, each of which corresponds to a different multitasking application on the mobile device. Each of the tiles is allocated to a distinct region on the activity screen, according to a specified layout. The layout may vary according to the number of tiles allocated in the activity screen, and in some examples a region of the activity screen is automatically subdivided to provide additional regions. The content displayed for each tile is selected, at least in part, based on the size of the allocated region, and consequently, of the tile. Content for each possible size of the tile can be pre-defined. Each of the tiles operates as an application entry point for its corresponding application, thus providing a means of access for applications concurrently executing on the device.

  • Publication number: 20140008652
    Abstract: A through-substrate via structure including a substrate, a conductive layer, and a parasitic capacitance modulation layer is provided. The substrate has at least one opening. The opening is filled with the conductive layer. The parasitic capacitance modulation layer is disposed between the conductive layer and the substrate. The parasitic capacitance modulation layer is placed around the through-substrate via to reduce the depletion capacitance and further reduce the parasitic capacitance of the through-substrate via. Therefore, during transmission of signals with high frequency, the parasitic capacitance around the through-substrate via is rather small and thereby the operation speed of devices is increased.
