Abstract: A method includes following steps. A dielectric layer is formed over a substrate. A transition metal-containing layer is deposited on the dielectric layer. The transition metal-containing layer is patterned into a plurality of transition metal-containing pieces. The transition metal-containing pieces are sulfurized or selenized to form a plurality of semiconductor seeds. Semiconductor films are grown from semiconductor seeds. Transistors are formed on the semiconductor films.

Abstract: A voltage regulator includes: a first comparator for comparing a first reference voltage with a feedback voltage to generate a first comparing result accordingly; a first transistor for controlling an output voltage at an output node in response to the first comparing result; a second transistor for adjusting the output voltage at the output node in response to a control signal; a feedback block, for providing the feedback voltage according to the output voltage; and a control block, for receiving the output voltage and providing the control signal according to the output voltage.

Abstract: An RFID system comprises an intermediate device that includes a first and second antenna coils connected together in a close loop format. The coils are formed on a flexible substrate that can be folded around a magnetic flux blocker such that one loop is on side of the blocker and the other loop is on the other side of the blocker. The intermediate device can then improve communication between a reader on one side of the blocker and a tag on the other. The coil on the reader side of the blocker can receive RF signals being generated by the reader and convert them to an electrical signal that can be passed to the coil on the tag side of the blockage. The second coil can then generate an RF signal that can be transmitted to the tag.

Abstract: An RFID system comprises an intermediate device that includes a first and second antenna coils connected together in a close loop format. The first coil can be optimized for communication with a reader, while the second coil can be optimized for communication with a tag. Thus, the dimension of the first antenna coil and the second antenna coil can be completely independent of each other. The intermediate device can be configured such that it can change the direction of the transmission from either the interrogator or the tag, thereby improving communication when the interrogator and tag are not inline.
