  • Publication number: 20240186320
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device comprising a source and drain region arranged within a substrate. A conductive gate is disposed over a doped region of the substrate. A gate dielectric layer is disposed between the source region and the drain region and separates the conductive gate from the doped region. A bottommost surface of the gate dielectric layer is below a topmost surface of the substrate. First and second sidewall spacers are arranged along first and second sides of the conductive gate, respectively. An inner portion of the first sidewall spacer and an inner portion of the second sidewall spacer respectively cover a first and second top surface of the gate dielectric layer. A drain extension region and a source extension region respectively separate the drain region and the source region from the gate dielectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20240126001
    Abstract: A switchable backlight module is disclosed. The switchable backlight module includes two light source modules arranged parallelly with respect to a plane. Each of the light source modules includes a turning film and a LGP. The LGP is of an edge-lit type arranged parallelly under the turning film. A light ray enters the LGP from a light incident side of the LGP, exits the LGP from a light emergent surface of the LGP, enters the turning film, and exits the turning film from a surface of the turning film away from the LGP. The light incident side of the LGP of one of the light source modules is perpendicular to the light incident side of the LGP of the other light source module. The switchable backlight module is in an anti-peeping mode having a narrow viewing angle when only an upper one of the light source modules emits light.

  • Publication number: 20240088154
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated circuit (IC) that includes a boundary region defined between a low voltage region and a high voltage region, and a method of formation. In some embodiments, the integrated circuit comprises an isolation structure disposed in the boundary region of the substrate. A first polysilicon component is disposed directly on an upper surface of the substrate alongside the isolation structure. A boundary dielectric layer is disposed on the isolation structure. A second polysilicon component is disposed on the sacrifice dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 7829333
    Abstract: The present invention provides transcription factors associated with the hedgehog signaling pathway that are regulated by dephosphorylation by phosphatases. Hedgehog response elements (HRE) that interact with the dephosphorylated transcription factors are also provided as well as methods for identifying compounds that are phosphatase inhibitors. Methods of treating tumors in a subject by modulating the phosphorylation of the transcription factor are also included.
