  • Publication number: 20240395631
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide a method that includes forming a set of fins of a device, where the set of fins comprises an isolation fin disposed between a first fin and a second fin of the set of fins. The method also includes forming an isolation structure on at least one side of the isolation fin, with the isolation fin providing electrical isolation between the first fin and the second fin of the set of fins. Additionally, or alternatively, some implementations described herein provide a method that includes forming a funnel-shaped isolation structure between a first set of fins and a second set of fins. Additionally, or alternatively, some implementations described herein provide a method that includes forming, after forming a first gate structure and a second gate structure, an isolation structure between the first gate structure and the second gate structure.

  • Publication number: 20240363539
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a substrate having a NMOS region and a PMOS region; a metal gate extending continuously along a first direction from the NMOS region to the PMOS region on the substrate; a first source/drain region extending along a second direction adjacent to two sides of the metal gate on the NMOS region; a second source/drain region extending along the second direction adjacent to two sides of the metal gate on the PMOS region; a first contact plug landing on the second source/drain region adjacent to one side of the metal gate; a second contact plug landing on the second source/drain region adjacent to another side of the metal gate; and a third contact plug landing directly on a portion of the metal gate on the PMOS region and between the first contact plug and the second contact plug.

  • Patent number: 7175144
    Abstract: The invention provides a detachable base support including a support, a base plate, and a latch. The support includes a protrusion which has a latch hole. The base plate has a receiving space for accommodating the protrusion. The latch is movably connected to the base plate. When the protrusion is inserted into the receiving space, the latch moves to a first position allowing a portion of the latch to pass through the latch hole for fixing the support onto the base plate.

  • Publication number: 20060186310
    Abstract: A flat panel display device. The flat panel display device comprises a base structure, a panel module, and a retaining structure. The base structure has a positioning hole, extending in a first direction and a second direction. The panel module comprises an engaging portion, inserted in the positioning hole such that the panel module is positioned in a predetermined position of the base structure. The engaging portion and the positioning hole prohibit the panel module from moving in the first direction. The retaining structure is disposed in the base structure. When the panel module is at the predetermined position, the retaining structure prevents the panel module from moving in the second direction.
