  • Publication number: 20240096705
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of channel layers vertically separated from one another. The semiconductor device also includes an active gate structure comprising a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion wraps around each of the plurality of channel layers. The semiconductor device further includes a gate spacer extending along a sidewall of the upper portion of the active gate structure. The gate spacer has a bottom surface. Moreover, a dummy gate dielectric layer is disposed between the gate spacer and a topmost channel layer of plurality of channel layers. The dummy gate dielectric layer is in contact with a top surface of the topmost channel layer, the bottom surface of the gate spacer, and the sidewall of the gate structure.

  • Patent number: 11934027
    Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

  • Patent number: 8698150
    Abstract: An active device, a driving circuit structure, and a display panel are provided. The active device includes a gate, a gate insulation layer covering the gate, a semiconductor layer disposed above the gate, an etching stop layer disposed on the gate insulation layer and the semiconductor layer, a source, and a drain. The gate forms a meandering pattern on a substrate. The semiconductor layer has an area substantially defining a device region where the active device is. The etching stop layer has a first contact opening and a second contact opening. The first contact opening and the second contact opening separated from each other and both exposing the semiconductor layer. The source and the drain separated from each other are disposed on the etching stop layer and in contact with the semiconductor layer through the first contact opening and the second contact opening, respectively.

  • Patent number: 8072500
    Abstract: A vibration compensation method for an image capture device comprising calculating the absolute difference values or the squared difference values between each first block of pixels of a base field and a second block of pixels corresponding thereto as well as other neighboring blocks of pixels in a comparison region in a reference field and choosing the interlace process modules of allowing the first block of pixels to interlace with the second block of pixels to form a image block, allowing the first block of pixels to interlace with the other neighboring block of pixels to form an image block and allowing the first block of pixels to interlace with a duplicated first block of pixels to form an image block, to combine an image depending on whether the absolute difference value or the squared difference values is smaller than a preset value or not thereby compensating the vibration factors as an image capture device is capturing an image to obtain a clear image.

  • Publication number: 20060156089
    Abstract: A method and apparatus utilizing defect memories is based on damaged section blocks corresponding high bit address division types. A switch set is used to reset an electrical connecting mode between high bit address input end and high bit address output end of the control chip such that high bit address signal sent from the data access system can keep away from damaged section blocks of the defect memories and be transmitted to good section blocks to allow multiple defect memories with different registered section blocks being able to be utilized.
