  • Publication number: 20220087529
    Abstract: A wearable device and a method for performing a registration process in the wearable device are provided. The wearable device includes a light source, a light sensor and a microcontroller that performs the method. In the method, the light source is activated to emit a detection light and the light sensor senses a reflected light. A light intensity of the reflected light is calculated. A registration value is produced based on the light intensity. Specifically, the detection light with a specific frequency to be registered in the registration value is used as a reference to detect whether the wearable device is properly worn by a person. For example, since the wearable device can be worn on the person's wrist, the registration value is used to detect whether the wearable device is away from the wrist.

  • Publication number: 20220093512
    Abstract: Corner portions of a semiconductor fin are kept on the device while removing a semiconductor fin prior to forming a backside contact. The corner portions of the semiconductor fin protect source/drain regions from etchant during backside processing. The corner portions allow the source/drain features to be formed with a convex profile on the backside. The convex profile increases volume of the source/drain features, thus, improving device performance. The convex profile also increases processing window of backside contact recess formation.
