  • Patent number: 11972055
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an electronic device with a vibration function and a vibration driving method. The electronic device includes a processor and an audio player. The processor outputs an audio signal according to an application program, and executes an audio analysis module to analyze the audio signal. The audio player is coupled to the processor, and receives the audio signal. When the audio analysis module determines that the audio signal has a loudness with an audio frequency lower than a default frequency threshold according to an audio frequency distribution of the audio signal, the audio analysis module outputs a vibration drive signal according to the loudness of the audio signal.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20240079268
    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.

  • Patent number: 10880021
    Abstract: A wireless communication device that includes an antenna module, a first communication circuit and a second communication circuit is provided. The first communication circuit performs communication by using a first communication protocol and transmits a test signal via the antenna module. The second communication circuit performs communication by using a second communication protocol and receives the test signal to calculate an isolation index based on an actual received power thereof. The second communication circuit determines that the antenna module includes two antennas when the isolation index is smaller than a threshold value to operate the first and the second communication circuits under a dual-antenna operation mode. The second communication circuit determines that the antenna module includes one antenna when the isolation index is not smaller than the threshold value to operate the first and the second communication circuits under a shared-antenna operation mode.
