Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a fin structure is formed by patterning a semiconductor layer, and an annealing operation is performed on the fin structure. In the patterning of the semiconductor layer, a damaged area is formed on a sidewall of the fin structure, and the annealing operation eliminates the damaged area.

Abstract: A photo resist layer is used to protect a dielectric layer and conductive elements embedded in the dielectric layer when patterning an etch stop layer underlying the dielectric layer. The photo resist layer may further be used to etch another dielectric layer underlying the etch stop layer, where etching the next dielectric layer exposes a contact, such as a gate contact. The bottom layer can be used to protect the conductive elements embedded in the dielectric layer from a wet etchant used to etch the etch stop layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gate electrode over a channel region of a semiconductor fin, first spacers over the semiconductor fin, and second spacers over the semiconductor fin. A lower portion of the gate electrode is between the first spacers. An upper portion of the gate electrode is above the first spacers. The second spacers are adjacent the first spacers opposite the gate electrode. The upper portion of the gate electrode is between the second spacers.

Abstract: The present application relates to a system and a method for producing vinyl chloride. The system comprise a preheat unit, a gas-liquid separating unit, a heat-recovery unit, a heating unit and a thermal pyrolysis unit, and therefore heat energy of the thermal pyrolysis product can be efficiently recovered.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a casing defining a first opening and a through hole, a first antenna, a first cover, and a camera module. The first antenna is mounted in the casing and whose position corresponds to the position of the first opening. The first cover is detachably fixed in the first opening and covering the first antenna. The camera module is mounted in the casing and includes a lens module received in the through hole for converging light incident thereon. The first antenna and the camera module are arranged in a first line, the first cover being fixed in the first opening is separated from the camera module by a first predetermined distance in a first direction parallel with the first line.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a main body and a projection mechanism. The main body is used for providing video signals. The projection mechanism includes a built-in mini-projector that can either be stored in the electronic apparatus or extended out of the electronic apparatus for use. The mini-projector is capable of receiving video signals and projecting corresponding images when the projection mechanism is extended, and stops the projection of images when retracted.

Abstract: A power supply topology with pulse width modulation frequency control allows the use of an inductor with higher inductance in a converter. By controlling the switching frequency of the pulse width modulation signal, the inductor can achieve high efficiency during a light load condition and is also suitable for a heavy load condition.

Abstract: A method for using a single pin to support both power input and power control functions for an integrated circuit, wherein the integrated circuit is in communication with a system. The method includes receiving at the pin a power input signal from the system, generating a power control signal based on the power input signal through a control signal generating circuit, and sending the power control signal to the integrated circuit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a test card for multiple functions testing. The test card includes a host of media devices, all of which reside on a single printed circuit board; and a selection device which selects each one of the host of media devices for testing. The test card can test all SD, MMC, MS (Pro), SMC devices and functions in one time in a bench without inserting and removing the media devices, thus accelerates the production line test speed.
