  • Patent number: 12211793
    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes first and second source/drain regions on or within a substrate. A first gate is arranged over the substrate between the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region. A first middle-end-of-the-line (MEOL) structure is arranged over the second source/drain region and a second MEOL structure is arranged over a third source/drain region. A conductive structure contacts the first MEOL structure and the second MEOL structure. A second gate is separated from the first gate by the second source/drain region. The conductive structure vertically and physically contacts a top surface of the second gate that is coupled to outermost sidewalls of the second gate. A plurality of conductive contacts are configured to electrically couple an interconnect wire and the first MEOL structure along one or more conductive paths extending through the conductive structure.

  • Publication number: 20240414877
    Abstract: This disclosure is a power supply device including a device body, a fan assembly, an illuminated handle assembly and shock-absorbing fastening elements. The fan assembly is combined in the device body and includes a bracket and a fan, and the bracket includes through holes. The illuminated handle assembly includes a handle, an electrical connecting element, and light-emitting elements. The handle is combined on the bracket and attached to the light-emitting element. The light-emitting element is electrically connected to the electrical connecting element. Each shock-absorbing fastening element is disposed in the fan assembly by each through hole to fix the light-emitting element on a side of the bracket facing the handle. The power supply device controls the light-emitting element through the electrical connecting element. Therefore, the vibration and noise generated during the operation of the fan assembly are reduced, and a power supply device combined with an illuminated handle is provided.

  • Patent number: 11010886
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic correction of drift between inspection and design for massive pattern searching are disclosed herein. Defects are identified in a scan of a wafer. The defects are associated with tool coordinates. An SEM review tool captures centered images of the defects. The SEM review tool is aligned with the wafer using design polygons in an imported design file. Design coordinates are exported and used to define patterns of interest and identifying locations of those patterns of interest.

  • Patent number: 9537305
    Abstract: A touch control device with enhanced ESD protection effect comprises a sensing circuit module; a plurality of signal lines electrically connected with the sensing circuit module; an ESD protection ring disposed on periphery of the sensing circuit module and the signal lines; and an ESD shield ring interposed between the signal lines and the ESD protection ring. A touch on the sensing circuit module induces a sensation signal. While the signal lines transmit the sensation signal, the electrostatic charges generated thereby is drained off by the ESD protection ring. The ESD shield ring can drain off the residual electrostatic charges that the ESD protection ring does not drain off. Therefore, the present invention can exempt the touch control device from ESD interference, guarantee the accuracy of signal transmission, and protect the electronic elements of the touch control device.
