Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: providing a wafer-bonding stack structure having a sidewall layer and an exposed first component layer; forming a photoresist layer on the first component layer; performing an edge trimming process to at least remove the sidewall layer; and removing the photoresist layer. In this way, contaminant particles generated from the blade during the edge trimming process may fall on the photoresist layer but not fall on the first component layer, so as to protect the first component layer from being contaminated.

Abstract: A sensing method for a capacitive touch panel includes charging a measure capacitor, setting the voltage across a mutual capacitor at the intersection of two traces of the capacitive touch panel, and then injecting partial charges of the measure capacitor into the mutual capacitor. When the intersection is touched, the capacitance value of the mutual capacitor is changed, and consequently the amount of charges injected into the mutual capacitor is changed. Hence, the voltage of the measure capacitor could be detected to determine whether or not the intersection is touched.
