  • Patent number: 11935794
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor transistor device. The method comprises forming a channel structure over a substrate and forming a first source/drain structure and a second source/drain structure on opposite sides of the fin structure. The method further comprises forming a gate structure surrounding the fin structure. The method further comprises flipping and partially removing the substrate to form a back-side capping trench while leaving a lower portion of the substrate along upper sidewalls of the first source/drain structure and the second source/drain structure as a protective spacer. The method further comprises forming a back-side dielectric cap in the back-side capping trench.

  • Patent number: 11671553
    Abstract: A video signal processing device and method thereof are provided in the present application. The video processing device includes a storage and a processor. The storage stores a plurality of brightness mapping relationships. If set brightness corresponding to the brightness mapping relationships does not match the target brightness, the processor selects a first mapping relationship and a second mapping relationship of two pieces of set brightness closing to target brightness from the brightness mapping relationships. A target mapping relationship corresponding to the target brightness is obtained by an interpolation according to the first mapping relationship, the first brightness, the second mapping relationship and the corresponding set brightness. The processor converts nonlinear brightness information of a first video signal into linear brightness information of a second video signal according to the target mapping relationship.
