Abstract: A sprayer, comprising: a container, configured to contain liquid; a passage, comprising a first opening, a second opening, a resonator and a mesh, when the liquid is passed through the resonator, the liquid is emitted as a gas; a first optical sensor, configured to sense first optical data of at least portion of the mesh or at least portion of a surface of the container; and a processing circuit, configured to compute a foaming level of the mesh or of the surface according to the first optical data, and configured to determine whether the resonator should be turned off or not according to the foaming level. In another aspect, the processing circuit estimates a liquid level of the liquid but does not correspondingly turn off the resonator. By this way, the resonator may be turned on or turned off more properly and the liquid level may be more precisely estimated.

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.

Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an integrated chip structure. The method may be performed by forming a plurality of interconnect layers within a first interconnect structure disposed over an upper surface of a first semiconductor substrate. An edge trimming process is performed to remove parts of the first interconnect structure and the first semiconductor substrate along a perimeter of the first semiconductor substrate. The edge trimming process results in the first semiconductor substrate having a recessed surface coupled to the upper surface by way of an interior sidewall disposed directly over the first semiconductor substrate. A dielectric capping structure is formed onto a sidewall of the first interconnect structure after performing the edge trimming process.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an apparatus with a local interconnect structure. The apparatus can include a first transistor, a second transistor, a first interconnect structure, a second interconnect structure, and a third interconnect structure. The local interconnect structure can be coupled to gate terminals of the first and second transistors and routed at a same interconnect level as reference metal lines coupled to ground and a power supply voltage. The first interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the first transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The second interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the second transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The third interconnect structure can be routed above the local interconnect structure and at a same interconnect level as the first and second interconnect structures.

Abstract: A method for discharging an electronic device on a substrate is provided. A metal pin mounted on a wire bonder is used to touch with a specific finger disposed on the substrate which is in electrical connection with the electronic device. As a result, the electric charge previously stored in the electronic device will be conducted to the wire bonder through the specific finger and metal pin thereby discharging the stored charge. Another method for discharging an electronic device on a substrate is also provided. A metal wire protruding out from the capillary of a wire bonder is heated to form a metal ball at the capillary. The capillary is moved to bring the metal ball into contact with the specific finger. As a result, the electric charge previously stored in the electronic device will thus can be discharged to the wire bonder. The present invention further provides a semiconductor package.

Abstract: A system and method of data communication handoff across heterogeneous wireless networks. A wireless telephony network comprises a base station system (BSS) and a visit location register (VLR). The BSS manages data communication in a cell. The VLR generates a temporary authentication identity applicable in the cell when a mobile terminal is successful authentication for data communication via the wireless telephony network, and transmits the temporary authentication identity to the mobile terminal. A wireless local area network (WLAN) located in the cell comprises an access point. The access point receives the temporary authentication identity from the wireless telephony network and authenticates the mobile terminal for data communication via the WLAN by verifying the temporary authentication identity upon the mobile terminal associates with the access point.
