  • Publication number: 20240282671
    Abstract: A method includes forming a multi-layer stack comprising dummy layers and semiconductor layers located alternatingly, and forming a plurality of dummy gate stacks on sidewalls and a top surface of the multi-layer stack. Two of the plurality of dummy gate stacks are immediately neighboring each other, and have a space in between. A first source/drain region and a second source/drain region are formed in the multi-layer stack, with the second source/drain region overlapping the first source/drain region. The method further includes replacing the plurality of dummy gate stacks with a plurality of replacement gate stacks, replacing a first one of the plurality of replacement gate stacks with a first dielectric isolation region, forming a deep contact plug in the space, forming a front-side via over the deep contact plug, and forming a back-side via under the deep contact plug, wherein the front-side via is electrically connected to the back-side via through the deep contact plug.

  • Publication number: 20240264405
    Abstract: An optical element driving mechanism is provided and includes a fixed assembly, a movable assembly, a driving assembly and a stopping assembly. The fixed assembly has a main axis. The movable assembly is configured to connect an optical element, and the movable assembly is movable relative to the fixed assembly. The driving assembly is configured to drive the movable assembly to move relative to the fixed assembly. The stopping assembly is configured to limit the movement of the movable assembly relative to the fixed assembly within a range of motion.

  • Patent number: 9188547
    Abstract: A defect inspection apparatus is disclosed that includes a stage, a photosensitive element, and a controller. The stage can support a semiconductor element that has a plurality of complete dies and partial dies surrounding the complete dies. The photosensitive element is located above the stage. The controller is electrically connected to the photosensitive element to drive the photosensitive element to inspect the defects of the complete dies and the partial dies.
