Abstract: A centrifugal fan includes a housing and an impeller. A top side of the housing has a main air inlet. A bottom side of the housing has a holder, a board, and plural supporting ribs connecting the holder and the board. The holder, the board, and the supporting ribs define a first secondary air inlet and a second secondary air inlet. In the extending direction of the central axis of the impeller, the impeller projects an upper projection to the top side, and projects a lower projection to the bottom side. The size of the upper projection is greater than the size of the main air inlet. At least one portion of the outer edge of the first secondary air inlet, the outer edge of the lower projection and the central axis are arranged in sequence.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method of patterning a semiconductor wafer using extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL). The method includes receiving an EUVL mask that includes a substrate having a low temperature expansion material, a reflective multilayer over the substrate, a capping layer over the reflective multilayer, and an absorber layer over the capping layer. The method further includes patterning the absorber layer to form a trench on the EUVL mask, wherein the trench has a first width above a target width. The method further includes treating the EUVL mask with oxygen plasma to reduce the trench to a second width, wherein the second width is below the target width. The method may also include treating the EUVL mask with nitrogen plasma to protect the capping layer, wherein the treating of the EUVL mask with the nitrogen plasma expands the trench to a third width at the target width.

Abstract: A heat dissipation assembly is disclosed and includes a frame and a fan. The frame includes a heat conduction channel and an airflow intake. The heat conduction channel is communication with an exterior through airflow intake. The frame includes a first plane, a second plane and an inclined plane. The first plane is disposed adjacent to the airflow intake. The inclined plane is connected between the first plane and the second plane. The second plane includes an inlet. The heat conduction channel is in communication between the airflow intake and the inlet. A cross-section area of the heat conduction channel adjacent to the airflow intake is greater than that of the heat conduction channel adjacent to the inlet. The fan is spatially corresponding to the inlet, and assembled with the frame to form an outlet in communication with the airflow intake and the heat conduction channel through the inlet.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a 2-D material layer, source/drain contacts, and a gate electrode. The 2-D material layer is over the substrate, the 2-D material layer includes source/drain regions and a channel region between the source/drain regions, in which the 2-D material layer is made of a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD). The source/drain contacts are in contact with source/drain regions of the 2-D material layer, in which a binding energy of transition metal atoms at the channel region of the 2-D material layer is different from a binding energy of the transition metal atoms at the source/drain regions of the 2-D material layer. The gate electrode is over the substrate.
