  • Publication number: 20240087961
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein are directed to a method for reducing fin oxidation during the formation of fin isolation regions. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate with an n-doped region and a p-doped region formed on a top portion of the semiconductor substrate; epitaxially growing a first layer on the p-doped region; epitaxially growing a second layer different from the first layer on the n-doped region; epitaxially growing a third layer on top surfaces of the first and second layers, where the third layer is thinner than the first and second layers. The method further includes etching the first, second, and third layers to form fin structures on the semiconductor substrate and forming an isolation region between the fin structures.

  • Patent number: 11174981
    Abstract: A supporting device includes a bottom seat with a first positioning member, a first supporting frame pivotally connected with the bottom seat, a second supporting frame, a third supporting frame pivotally connected with the first supporting frame and a fourth supporting frame to be coupled with a supported object. The second supporting frame is pivotally connected with the first supporting frame so as to change a height as a result of an angle of the first supporting frame relative to the bottom seat. The second supporting frame has a second positioning member to be coupled with the first positioning member in order to fix the first and second supporting frames. The fourth supporting frame is pivotally connected with the second and third supporting frame so that an angle and a height of the supported object are simultaneously changed with a pivoting motion of the first, second, third and fourth supporting frames.

  • Patent number: 8878082
    Abstract: A touch-control writing tool wherein the pipe body of the touch-control writing tool has a long through hole and an opening on one end thereof. A rotating element is pivotally provided on the end of the opening of the pipe body. The writing head of a rod body goes through and protrudes from the rotating element. The rotating element drives the rod body to perform an axial displacement in the long through hole via the transmission component in the long through hole, thereby adjusting the length of the writing head outside the rotating element.

  • Patent number: 8505564
    Abstract: An automatic folding/unfolding umbrella includes a main rod, umbrella ribs for supporting a canopy, a slide element, and a handle. The umbrella ribs are pivotally installed at the tip of the main rod, and primary link rods are pivotally installed under the tip of the main rod. A secondary link rod is pivotally coupled between each corresponding umbrella rib and each primary link rod. The slide element is installed on the main rod. A handle installed at a bottom end of the main rod includes a link mechanism. The main rod includes a link element and a link mechanism coupled to the slide element. Elastically stretchable elements couple the slide element with the primary link rod. The link mechanism is driven by the link element to slide the slide element.
