  • Patent number: 11955721
    Abstract: An antenna apparatus, a communication apparatus, and a steering adjustment method thereof are provided. The antenna apparatus includes an antenna structure. The antenna structure includes an antenna unit. The antenna unit includes i feeding ports, where i is a positive integer larger than 2. A vector of each of the feeding ports is controlled independently. In the steering adjustment method, a designated direction is determined, where the designated direction corresponds to beam directionality of the antenna structure. In addition, the vectors of the feeding ports of the antenna unit are configured according to the designated direction. Accordingly, the antenna size can be reduced, and beam steering in multiple directions would be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20240084455
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein include systems and techniques for fabricating a wafer-on-wafer product using a filled lateral gap between beveled regions of wafers included in a stacked-wafer assembly and along a perimeter region of the stacked-wafer assembly. The systems and techniques include a deposition tool having an electrode with a protrusion that enhances an electromagnetic field along the perimeter region of the stacked-wafer assembly during a deposition operation performed by the deposition tool. Relative to an electromagnetic field generated by a deposition tool not including the electrode with the protrusion, the enhanced electromagnetic field improves the deposition operation so that a supporting fill material may be sufficiently deposited.

  • Publication number: 20240071812
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate, implanting n-type impurities into a device region in the semiconductor substrate to form an implanted region and an un-implanted region. The method also includes forming an epitaxial layer on the semiconductor substrate and forming a trench surrounding the device region in direct contact with the implanted region. The method further includes performing a selective lateral etch through the trench to remove the implanted region to form a cavity under the epitaxial layer. The un-implanted region is retained to form a pillar under the epitaxial layer. Next, an insulating material is disposed in the cavity and the trench. The method forms a single crystalline region that is separated from the semiconductor substrate by the insulating material except at the pillar.

  • Patent number: 8488167
    Abstract: A computerized chart recorder is revealed, comprises a signal conversion unit, an operation control unit, a printing control unit, and a database. A signal conversion unit receives measurement signals of a measurement instrument, and converts the measurement signals to signal conversion data. A operation control unit receives the signal conversion data required for printing, produces corresponding chart data, and prints the curve of signal variations, which can be also displayed on a human-machine interface unit. Whether to store the data or to print can be determined. Besides, the data can be also transmitted to a printing control unit. When the printing control unit is activated, it can receive the chart data and the quality assurance data, and control a printing unit to emulate the chart recorder for executing chart recording.
