  • Publication number: 20240098932
    Abstract: A foldable electronic device, including a first body, a second body, an air valve movably disposed in the first body, at least one triggering member, and a hinge connecting the first body and the second body, is provided. The first body has multiple openings respectively located at two opposite surfaces. The triggering member is movably disposed in the first body and has a part exposed outside the first body. The air valve and the triggering member are mutually on moving paths of each other. The first body and the second body are rotated to be folded or unfolded relative to each other by the hinge. A part of the triggering member is suitable for bearing a force such that the triggering member drives the air valve, so that the air valve opens or closes the openings.

  • Patent number: 11916077
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an apparatus with a local interconnect structure. The apparatus can include a first transistor, a second transistor, a first interconnect structure, a second interconnect structure, and a third interconnect structure. The local interconnect structure can be coupled to gate terminals of the first and second transistors and routed at a same interconnect level as reference metal lines coupled to ground and a power supply voltage. The first interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the first transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The second interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the second transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The third interconnect structure can be routed above the local interconnect structure and at a same interconnect level as the first and second interconnect structures.

  • Patent number: 6136515
    Abstract: A method for removing photoresist in a metallization process according to the invention is able to completely remove a photoresist residue remaining on the surface of a metal layer and avoids corrosion of the metal layer. In the method, a heat treatment is performed after patterning the metal layer and before removing the photoresist layer, thereby removing materials which corrode the metal layer. Therefore, corrosion to the metal layer is prevented. Next, the photoresist layer is removed by a wet strip process instead of an oxygen plasma process. As a result, the photoresist residue remaining on the surface of the metal layer cannot be oxidized into an insoluble oxide and can be completely removed.
