  • Publication number: 20240192576
    Abstract: A camera module suited for assembled in a casing is provided. The camera module includes a camera and a switch cover. The camera is disposed in the casing and aligned with a camera hole of the casing. The switch cover is slidably disposed in the casing, wherein the switch cover includes a sliding member and a shielding member secured to the sliding member, and a thickness of the shielding member is less than a thickness of the sliding member. The camera hole is seated on a sliding path of the shielding member. The shielding member is suited for blocking between the camera and the camera hole or moving out between the camera and the camera hole. An electronic device is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240190737
    Abstract: A moving bed biofilm reactor includes a tank body, a first tube, a second tube, a first guiding structure, a second guiding structure and a return pipe. A reaction zone is formed in the tank body by the first tube and the second tube. A three-phase separation zone is formed in the tank body by the first guiding structure and the second guiding structure. By using multi-layer horizontal water curtain disturbances formed by the first tube and the second tube, fluid contaminant could be well mixed in the reaction zone. Thereupon, gas desorption from bio carriers can be increased, the possibility for micro organisms to attach the bio carriers can be raised, the guiding of gas emission can be improved, and thus performance of the fluid treatment in the anaerobic biological process can be substantially enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20240184195
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a photo mask, a resist layer is formed over a mask blank, which includes a mask substrate, a phase shift layer disposed on the mask substrate and a light blocking layer disposed on the phase shift layer. A resist pattern is formed by using a lithographic operation. The light blocking layer is patterned by using the resist pattern as an etching mask. The phase shift layer is patterned by using the patterned light blocking layer as an etching mask. A border region of the mask substrate is covered with an etching hard cover, while a pattern region of the mask substrate is opened. The patterned light blocking layer in the pattern region is patterned through the opening of the etching hard cover. A photo-etching operation is performed on the pattern region to remove residues of the light blocking layer.

  • Patent number: 12002749
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an integrated chip, including a semiconductor substrate and a dielectric layer disposed over the semiconductor substrate. A pair of metal lines are disposed over the dielectric layer and laterally spaced apart from one another by a cavity. A barrier layer structure extends along nearest neighboring sidewalls of the pair of metal lines such that the cavity is defined by inner sidewalls of the barrier layer structure and a top surface of the dielectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20240162084
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes preparing a dielectric structure formed with trenches respectively defined by lateral surfaces of the dielectric structure, forming spacer layers on the lateral surfaces, filling an electrically conductive material into the trenches to form electrically conductive features, selectively depositing a blocking layer on the dielectric structure, selectively depositing a dielectric material on the electrically conductive features to form a capping layer, removing the blocking layer and the dielectric structure to form recesses, forming sacrificial features in the recesses, forming a sustaining layer to cover the sacrificial features; and removing the sacrificial features to obtain the semiconductor structure formed with air gaps confined by the sustaining layer and the spacer layers.

  • Patent number: 11962878
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided, including a main body and a camera module. The camera module has a frame, a lens unit disposed in the frame, a guiding member, and a hinge. The guiding member is affixed to the main body and has a rail and a spring sheet. The hinge pivotally connects to the frame and the guiding member. When the camera module is in the retracted position, the camera module is hidden in a recess of the main body. When the camera module slides out of the recess from the retracted position along the rail into the operational position, the spring sheet is pressed by the hinge to increase the friction between the hinge and the guiding member.
