  • Patent number: 11947153
    Abstract: A backlight module and a display device are provided, and the backlight module includes a light guide plate, a plurality of light-emitting components, and a frame. The light guide plate includes a first side, a second side, and two third sides. The light-emitting components are disposed on the first side, and light generated from the light-emitting components enters the light guide plate from the first side. The frame covers the second side and the third sides and includes an opening and at least one buffer portion. The light-emitting components are disposed in the opening, and the buffer portion is disposed on a side of the opening and contacts the light guide plate.

  • Publication number: 20220262914
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for forming a semiconductor structure. The method includes forming a gate dielectric structure on a substrate. A sidewall spacer is formed around the gate dielectric structure. A metal structure is formed over the gate dielectric structure. A gate body layer is formed over the metal structure. A lower portion of the gate body layer is cupped by the metal structure. A top surface of the gate body layer is vertically offset from a top surface of the metal structure. A conductive via is formed over the metal structure. The conductive via is disposed between outer sidewalls of the gate body layer.

  • Patent number: 11335786
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a semiconductor device including a gate structure. The semiconductor device further includes a pair of spacer segments on a semiconductor substrate. A high-? gate dielectric structure overlies the semiconductor substrate. The high-? gate dielectric structure is laterally between and borders the spacer segments. The gate structure overlies the high-k gate dielectric structure and has a top surface about even with a top surface of the spacer segments. The gate structure includes a metal structure and a gate body layer. The gate body layer has a top surface that is vertically offset from a top surface of the metal structure and further has a lower portion cupped by the metal structure.

  • Patent number: 11158644
    Abstract: Provided are a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first FET, and a second FET formed over the substrate. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface and the second surface form a step. The first FET comprises a first gate dielectric layer over the first surface of the substrate. The second FET comprises a second gate dielectric layer thinner than the first gate dielectric layer over the second surface of the substrate.
