Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure is provided. The method for forming the semiconductor structure includes forming a fin structure over a substrate in a first direction, forming a first gate stack, a second gate stack and a third gate stack across the fin structure, removing the first gate stack to form a trench, depositing a cutting structure in the trench, and forming a first contact plug between the cutting structure and the second gate stack and a second contact plug between the second gate stack and the third gate stack. The fin structure is cut into two segments by the trench. A first dimension of the first contact plug in the first direction is greater than a second dimension of the second contact plug in the first direction.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a first source/drain structure and a second source/drain structure over and in a substrate. The method includes forming a first gate stack, a second gate stack, a third gate stack, and a fourth gate stack over the substrate. Each of the first gate stack or the second gate stack is wider than each of the third gate stack or the fourth gate stack. The method includes forming a first contact structure and a second contact structure over the first source/drain structure and the second source/drain structure respectively. A first average width of the first contact structure is substantially equal to a second average width of the second contact structure.

Abstract: A keypad assembly is used for an electronic device. The keypad assembly includes a support member, a plurality of key strips and a plurality of elastic members. The support member defines a plurality of receiving grooves each with an angled bottom surface. The key strips are received in the receiving grooves. The elastic members are received in the receiving grooves, and each elastic member abuts a corresponding key strip providing a biasing force to extend a portion of the key strips from the receiving groove.

Abstract: A keypad assembly is used for an electronic device. The keypad assembly includes a support member, a plurality of key strips and a plurality of elastic members. The support member defines a plurality of openings and a plurality of cantilever plates, each cantilever plate extending into a corresponding opening. The key strips are received in the openings. Each key strip defines a first slot in which each cantilever plate is received. Each elastic member supports one of the key strips and provides a force extending one portion of the key strips out of its corresponding opening.

Abstract: A portable electronic device has various functions such as mobile communication, multimedia entertainment, and data processing. The device includes a main body installed with two keyboards and two slide rails, and two sub-bodies respectively equipped with a display. The sub-bodies are pivoted to each other and rotate through a shaft, and slide along slide rails through connecting members on the main body respectively. Therefore, the sub-bodies can be lifted relative to the main body through the shaft and the connecting members, so as to be optionally drawn close to the main body with the two displays facing the same direction, or to stand on the main body with the two displays facing opposite directions. Therefore, two different operating modes are achieved.

Abstract: A hand-held electronic device being held by a user with a single hand for dialing or with both hands for inputting characters includes a body, a keyboard, two sensors respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the body, and a backlight source. The keyboard has keys forming a region marked with a QWERTY keyboard and a region overlapping the above region and marked with a phone keypad. The sensors detect whether the body is held by a single hand on one side or by both hands on two sides and let the backlight source light up the region marked with the phone keypad on the keyboard when the body is held by a single hand. Thus, the region marked with the phone keypad is highlighted out of the QWERTY keyboard, so it is easy for the user to identify the key numbers and dial quickly.

Abstract: A keyboard with five-direction keys is used for a portable electronic apparatus. The keyboard includes a casing with a plurality of openings; and a plurality of keys arranged on the casing in array fashion. Four pattern areas are printed on four diagonal corners of each opening. A legend is printed on each of the pattern areas. The legend is one of letters A to Z, and special symbols such as star key and pound key, and direction signs. Each of the keys is located in one opening, and includes a joystick unit and a keycap arranged on the joystick unit. The keycap comprises a keytop thereon and the keytop is printed with one of numbers 0 to 9. The keyboard generates an electronic signal corresponding to one legend when the keycap is moved laterally in diagonal direction. The keyboard generates an electronic signal corresponding to a number when the keycap is pressed downward.
