  • Publication number: 20240129716
    Abstract: Examples pertaining to beam capability reporting in a relay-type wireless device are described. An apparatus may serve as a relay between a user equipment (UE) and a wireless node of a wireless network. An apparatus may also report its beam capability information for a wireless link between the apparatus and the UE to the wireless node. The beam capability information may indicate one or more non-overlapped or partially-overlapped beams.

  • Patent number: 11955379
    Abstract: A metal adhesion layer may be formed on a bottom and a sidewall of a trench prior to formation of a metal plug in the trench. A plasma may be used to modify the phase composition of the metal adhesion layer to increase adhesion between the metal adhesion layer and the metal plug. In particular, the plasma may cause a shift or transformation of the phase composition of the metal adhesion layer to cause the metal adhesion layer to be composed of a (111) dominant phase. The (111) dominant phase of the metal adhesion layer increases adhesion between the metal adhesion layer.

  • Publication number: 20240076797
    Abstract: A susceptor assembly for supporting a crucible during a crystal growth process includes a susceptor base, a tubular sidewall connected to the susceptor base, and a removable sacrifice ring interposed between the susceptor base and the sidewall. Each of the susceptor base and the sidewall is formed of a carbon-containing material. The susceptor base has an annular wall and a shoulder extending radially outward from an outer surface of the annular wall. The sidewall has a first end that receives the annular wall to connect the sidewall to the susceptor base. The sacrifice ring has a first surface that faces the outer surface of the annular wall, a second surface that faces an interior surface of the sidewall, and a ledge extending outward from the second surface that engages the first end of the sidewall.

  • Patent number: 11923455
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and method of forming the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a fin structure, a gate electrode, a source-drain region, a plug and a hard mask structure. The gate electrode crosses over the fin structure. The source-drain region in the fin structure is aside the gate electrode. The plug is disposed over and electrically connected to the gate electrode. The hard mask structure surrounds the plug and is disposed over the gate electrode, wherein the hard mask structure includes a first hard mask layer and a second hard mask layer, the second hard mask layer covers a sidewall and a top surface of the first hard mask layer, and a material of the first hard mask layer is different from a material of the second hard mask layer.

  • Publication number: 20080272578
    Abstract: A handcart with a foldable handle structure comprises a handle structure formed of a holder segment and a frame pivotally coupled to each other. The lower ends of the frame are pivotally coupled to a block board and a pair of wheels. A pair of position-limiting sleeves wraps the tubes of the holder segment. When the handcart is in use, the position-limiting sleeves are pulled down to wrap the pivotal joints between the holder segment and the frame to confine the handle structure to a straight line. Then, the user can hold the handle and push the handcart forward. When not in use, the position-limiting sleeves are pushed up to reveal the pivotal joints between the holder segment and the frame, and the holder segment can thus be folded down. Thereby, the volume of the handcart can be reduced to facilitate storage or convenience lifting the handcart to carry about.

  • Publication number: 20080265547
    Abstract: A foldable handcart can be carried about on its wheels after being folded. The handcart has a handle structure. The lower ends of the handle structure are pivotally coupled to a frame. The frame is formed of a pair of tubes. The lower ends of the tubes are pivotally coupled to a block board. The block board can be rotated upward to contact the frame. The lower ends of the tubes are respectively sleeved by a toothed ring which engages with the teeth on the top of a sleeving tube of a wheel seat. The other side of the wheel seat is pivotally coupled to a wheel. When the block board is rotated upward, the back wall of the block board is still apart from the ground by an appropriate distance, and the wheels can thus contact the ground. Thereby, the handcart can be easily carried about on its wheels.
