Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first dielectric layer over a substrate, forming a metal layer in the first dielectric layer, forming an etch stop layer on a surface of the first dielectric layer and the metal layer, removing portions of the metal layer and the etch stop layer to form a recess in the metal layer, and forming a tungsten plug in the recess. The recess is spaced apart from a bottom surface of the etch stop layer.

Abstract: A method for predicting clinical severity of a neurological disorder includes steps of: a) identifying, according to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image of a brain, brain image regions each of which contains a respective portion of diffusion index values of a diffusion index, which results from image processing performed on the MRI image; b) for one of the brain image regions, calculating a characteristic parameter based on the respective portion of the diffusion index values; and c) calculating a severity score that represents the clinical severity of the neurological disorder of the brain based on the characteristic parameter of the one of the brain image regions via a prediction model associated with the neurological disorder.

Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

Abstract: A light source module includes a first light source and a second light source. The first light source is configured for emitting a first light having a first wavelength, and the first light includes a first part and a second part. The second light source is configured for emitting a second light having a second wavelength. The second light source includes a first wavelength conversion layer, and the first wavelength conversion layer is configured for converting the first light into the second light. One of the first part and the second part is incident to the first wavelength conversion layer, and the other of the first part and the second part is not incident to the first wavelength conversion layer.

Abstract: A lens including a filter, an aperture stop, and a lens set sequentially arranged along a first direction is provided. The filter includes a central region and a peripheral region. The central region has a first light transmission band for a wavelength range of a visible light and a second light transmission band for a wavelength range of an infrared light. The peripheral region surrounds the central region. The peripheral region has a third light transmission band for the wavelength range of the infrared light and is substantially opaque to the visible light, and an area of one portion of the central region surrounded by the peripheral region is tapered toward the first direction.

Abstract: A mouse has a storable hook module, which is stored within the main body of the mouse in most circumstance. In a case that the notebook computer is carried to another place, the hook module should be protruded from the main body of the mouse and then secured onto lock hole at a side wall of the notebook computer, so that the mouse is attached onto the notebook computer.
