Abstract: A method includes forming a first fin and a second fin protruding from a frontside of a substrate, forming a gate stack over the first and second fins, forming a dielectric feature dividing the gate stack into a first segment engaging the first fin and a second segment engaging the second fin, and growing a first epitaxial feature on the first fin and a second epitaxial feature on the second fin. The dielectric feature is disposed between the first and second epitaxial features. The method also includes performing an etching process on a backside of the substrate to form a backside trench, and forming a backside via in the backside trench. The backside trench exposes the dielectric feature and the first and second epitaxial features. The backside via straddles the dielectric feature and is in electrical connection with the first and second epitaxial features.

Abstract: An upper for an article of footwear is configured to be connected to a sole structure and is configured to receive a foot. The upper includes a knitted component having a strobel portion that is configured to be disposed underneath the foot. The strobel portion defines an interior surface and an exterior surface of the knitted component. The strobel portion defines a strobel passage between the interior surface and the exterior surface. Also, the upper includes a tensile strand that extends through the strobel passage.

Abstract: A data writing method for a solid state storage device is provided. The solid state storage device includes a flash memory with plural blocks. The data writing method includes the following steps. Firstly, a flush command is received. Then, host write data in a buffer are stored into an open block of the flash memory according to a program order. Then, a garbage collection is performed to acquire collected write data from a close block of the flash memory and temporarily store the collected write data into the buffer. Then, the host write data and the collected write data in the buffer are stored into the open block of the flash memory according to the program order.
