  • Patent number: 11973021
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and an inter-metal dielectric layer disposed between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. The inter-metal dielectric layer includes: a first dielectric layer disposed on the first metal layer and in direct contact with the first metal layer, wherein the first dielectric layer has a stress value less than 0; a second dielectric layer disposed on the first dielectric layer, wherein the second dielectric layer has a stress value greater than 0; and a third dielectric layer disposed on the second dielectric layer, wherein the third dielectric layer has a stress value less than 0. A thickness of the third dielectric layer is greater than a thickness of the second dielectric layer, and the thickness of the second dielectric layer is greater than a thickness of the first dielectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20240136447
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first deep well region, at least two second well regions, at least one isolation structure and an implantation region. The first deep well region is disposed in the semiconductor substrate, wherein the first deep well region has a first conductivity type. The second well regions are disposed on the first deep well region, wherein the second well regions have a second conductivity type. The isolation structure covers a portion of the first deep well region and surrounds at least a portion of the second well regions. The implantation region is located under a top surface of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the implantation region has a discontinuous portion, and the discontinuous portion partially overlaps the first deep well region.

  • Publication number: 20240088224
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a first gate structure, a second gate structure coupled to the first gate structure, a source region, a first drain region, and a second drain region. The source region is surrounded by the first gate structure and the second gate structure. The first drain region is separated from the source region by the first gate structure. The second drain region is separated from the source region by the second gat structure. A shape of the first drain region and a shape of the second drain region are different from each other from a plan view.

  • Patent number: 8006012
    Abstract: A data storage system is provided. The data storage system includes a first storage module for storing a first data, a second storage module for storing a second data, a control module and a processing module. The control module generates a first control signal and a second control signal, and accesses the first data and the second data according to the first control signal and the second control signal. The processing module is coupled to the first storage module, the second storage module and the control module, and controls the first storage module and the second storage module to transmit the first data and the second data to the control module according to the first control signal and the second control signal respectively, wherein the processing module bypasses the second storage module when receiving the first control signal.

  • Patent number: 6849414
    Abstract: Assay devices, kits, and methods for detection of one or more analytes in a sample are provided. The assay device features the controlled release of reagents and hence is particularly suitable for binding assays such as immunoassays. The assay device achieves greater sensitivity than conventional rapid test assays, leading to stronger and/or more stable visual signals than those produced by conventional devices, easier interpretation of results, and reduced occurrence of indeterminate results. The device can be used for detecting analyte in a variety of biological samples without the need for conventional sample filtration techniques, and thus is suitable for use by untrained personnel without specialized equipment. In addition, the device can be used to simultaneously analyze a number of analytes using a single sample.
