    Abstract: A method of forming an apparatus comprises forming filled trenches within a semiconductive structure having a well region comprising one or more dopants, the filled trenches extending into the well region and each individually comprising a conductive gate structure and a dielectric liner intervening between the conductive gate structure and the semiconductive structure. A fluorine-doped region is formed at junctions between the well region and additional regions of the semiconductive structure overlying the well region. The additional regions of the semiconductive structure are doped with one or more additional dopants having a different conductivity type than that of the one or more dopants of the well region after forming the fluorine-doped region. The semiconductive structure is annealed after doping the additional regions thereof. Apparatuses, memory devices, and electronic systems also described.

  • Patent number: 8742763
    Abstract: The present invention provides a battery module state detection method. The battery module includes a battery unit and is connected to a load. The method for detecting the battery module status includes the following steps. First, measure an on-load voltage value of the battery unit and a load current value of a load. Next, calculate an instant resistance value of the battery unit according to a no-load voltage value of the battery unit, the on-load voltage value and the load current value. Finally, obtain an operating state of the battery unit according to the instant resistance and a relationship between the internal resistance and discharging time. By the method of the present invention, the user can monitor the remaining energy of the battery module accurately in real time and therefore prevent the electrical hazard caused by over-discharging the battery module.
