  • Publication number: 20210326006
    Abstract: A touch sensor comprises a first electrode, a second electrode arranged spaced apart from the first electrode, and an insulator arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is energized, and an energy difference exists between the first electrode and the second electrode. At least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a stressed electrode. When the stressed electrode is not stressed, no electrical signal is generated, and when the stressed electrode is stressed, the stressed electrode deforms at a stressed point and changes the distance between the stressed point and the other electrode to generate a tunneling current, and the touch sensor generates the electrical signal according to whether the tunneling current is generated. Therefore, the invention solves a limitation of the conventional touch sensor in touching and provides good touching sensitivity.

    Abstract: An interactive education system includes a storage, an output device, a processor, an input device and a recognition device. The processor controls the output device to produce voice based on a hint on a target answer stored in the storage. The recognition device generates a response through performing speech recognition on input data generated by the input device from voice of a user. The processor controls the output device to produce voice based on whether the response matches the target answer or any relevant characteristic. Depending on a count of consecutive occurrences of a failed event, the processor controls the output device to produce voice based on another hint or the target answer.

  • Publication number: 20210193653
    Abstract: An integrated circuit die includes a FinFET transistor. The FinFET transistor includes an anti-punch through region below a channel region. Undesirable dopants are removed from the anti-punch through region during formation of the source and drain regions. When source and drain recesses are formed, a layer of dielectric material is deposited in the recesses. An annealing process is then performed. Undesirable dopants diffuse from the anti-punch through region into the layer of dielectric material during the annealing process. The layer of dielectric material is then removed. The source and drain regions are then formed by depositing semiconductor material in the recesses.
