Abstract: A Rugged portable device comprises: a base, a cover pivotally connected to the base, a first antenna unit, a second antenna unit, and a control unit. The first antenna unit and the second antenna unit are respectively disposed at an edge of the cover and an edge of the base, and the first antenna unit and the second antenna unit respectively have a near-field antenna and a far-field antenna. When the cover pivots relative to the base and is close to the base, the near-field antenna disposed at the cover and the near-field antenna disposed at the base generate a near-field communication (NFC) sensing signal and the near-field communication sensing signal is transmitted to the control unit. Therefore, the control unit sets up one of functions in the rugged portable device. For instance, the control unit switches off and/or switches on the far-field antenna or a peripheral unit (a keyboard or a camera).

Abstract: Methods for improving interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer topography and resulting integrated circuit devices are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes forming a first contact etch stop layer having a first thickness over a first region of a wafer, forming a second contact etch stop layer having a second thickness over a second region of the wafer, and forming an ILD layer over the first contact etch stop layer and the second contact etch stop layer. A first topography variation exists between the first region and the second region. The second thickness is different than the first thickness to achieve a second topography variation that is less than the first topography variation. The first topography variation can be caused by a height difference between a first gate structure disposed over the wafer in the first region and a second gate structure disposed over the wafer in the second region.
