  • Publication number: 20240096705
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of channel layers vertically separated from one another. The semiconductor device also includes an active gate structure comprising a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion wraps around each of the plurality of channel layers. The semiconductor device further includes a gate spacer extending along a sidewall of the upper portion of the active gate structure. The gate spacer has a bottom surface. Moreover, a dummy gate dielectric layer is disposed between the gate spacer and a topmost channel layer of plurality of channel layers. The dummy gate dielectric layer is in contact with a top surface of the topmost channel layer, the bottom surface of the gate spacer, and the sidewall of the gate structure.

  • Patent number: 8279591
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a first pivot, an audio module, a second pivot, a cam, a follower, a latch, and an elastic element. The first pivot pivotally connects the first body with the second body. The second pivot pivotally connects the audio module with the second body. The cam is coupled with the first pivot. The follower contacts the cam. The latch is fastened to the audio module and connected with the follower. The elastic element includes two ends, one is against the second body, and the other one is against the audio module.

  • Publication number: 20100133398
    Abstract: A linkage and a supporter are attached to a back of the housing via a magnetic element of an electronic device with a magnetic supporter. The supporter is drawn to a supporting position via the linkage to support the electronic device body and provide various angles for the user to easily operate the electronic device in several modes. Moreover, since the linkage and the supporter are attached via the magnetic element, when the electronic device body is overloaded, for example, a user applies overlarge force to operate a touch panel, the magnetic element is detached from the electronic device body to prevent the linkage and the supporter from being damaged or permanently destroyed.
