  • Publication number: 20250040218
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device including a substrate having a top surface and a gate stack. The semiconductor device also includes a multi-spacer structure. The multi-spacer includes a first spacer formed on a sidewall of the gate stack, a second spacer, and a third spacer. The second spacer includes a first portion formed on a sidewall of the first spacer and a second portion formed on the top surface of the substrate. The second portion of the second spacer has a thickness in a first direction that gradually decreases. The third spacer is formed on the second portion of the second spacer and on the top surface of the substrate. The semiconductor device further includes a source/drain region formed in the substrate, and a portion of the third spacer abuts the source/drain region and the second portion of the second spacer.

  • Patent number: 8804323
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a casing defining a first opening and a through hole, a first antenna, a first cover, and a camera module. The first antenna is mounted in the casing and whose position corresponds to the position of the first opening. The first cover is detachably fixed in the first opening and covering the first antenna. The camera module is mounted in the casing and includes a lens module received in the through hole for converging light incident thereon. The first antenna and the camera module are arranged in a first line, the first cover being fixed in the first opening is separated from the camera module by a first predetermined distance in a first direction parallel with the first line.

  • Patent number: 8523370
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a main body and a projection mechanism. The main body is used for providing video signals. The projection mechanism includes a built-in mini-projector that can either be stored in the electronic apparatus or extended out of the electronic apparatus for use. The mini-projector is capable of receiving video signals and projecting corresponding images when the projection mechanism is extended, and stops the projection of images when retracted.

  • Patent number: 7898218
    Abstract: A power supply topology with pulse width modulation frequency control allows the use of an inductor with higher inductance in a converter. By controlling the switching frequency of the pulse width modulation signal, the inductor can achieve high efficiency during a light load condition and is also suitable for a heavy load condition.

  • Patent number: 7378896
    Abstract: A method for using a single pin to support both power input and power control functions for an integrated circuit, wherein the integrated circuit is in communication with a system. The method includes receiving at the pin a power input signal from the system, generating a power control signal based on the power input signal through a control signal generating circuit, and sending the power control signal to the integrated circuit.

  • Patent number: 7331001
    Abstract: The present invention provides a test card for multiple functions testing. The test card includes a host of media devices, all of which reside on a single printed circuit board; and a selection device which selects each one of the host of media devices for testing. The test card can test all SD, MMC, MS (Pro), SMC devices and functions in one time in a bench without inserting and removing the media devices, thus accelerates the production line test speed.
