Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor devices includes forming channel regions over a substrate. The channel regions, in parallel with one another, extend along a first lateral direction. Each channel region includes at least a respective pair of epitaxial structures. The method includes forming a gate structure over the channel regions, wherein the gate structure extends along a second lateral direction. The method includes removing, through a first etching process, a portion of the gate structure that was disposed over a first one of the channel regions. The method includes removing, through a second etching process, a portion of the first channel region. The second etching process includes one silicon etching process and one silicon oxide deposition process. The method includes removing, through a third etching process controlled based on a pulse signal, a portion of the substrate that was disposed below the removed portion of the first channel region.

Abstract: A planar winding transformer includes a magnetic core set and a multilayer circuit board. The magnetic core set includes two magnetic cores and two magnetic columns. The two magnetic cores are parallel to each other. The multilayer circuit board is disposed between two magnetic cores, and two magnetic columns penetrate through the multilayer circuit board. The multilayer circuit board includes two low voltage winding layers and one high voltage winding layer. Two low voltage winding layers are connected to each other in parallel, and the high voltage winding layer is disposed between two low voltage winding layers. When the high voltage winding layer receives a polarity current, at least one of the low voltage winding layers generates a corresponding induced current. Two magnetic cores and two magnetic columns form a closed path for magnetic flux.

Abstract: An improved structure assembly-type table leg that in addition to facilitating shipping, affords exceptional sturdiness and greater attractiveness when assembled. To provide for freight forwarding convenience, a slot is articulated in a predetermined area along the end sections of frame members, a quantity of holes are arrayed in the same end sections, and an opening is formed in each of the two adjacent sides at the top end of the table leg members. The span of the opening is directly proportional to the width of the frame member, enabling the insertion of the frame member and the mortising of the slot within the opening such that the top ends of the frame members and the table leg members are even with each other when they are assembled. The fastening screws utilized to assemble the invention herein are not visible, effectively enhancing exterior appearance, while supporting assembly and disassembly to conserve space and facilitate shipping.
