  • Publication number: 20200366983
    Abstract: A headphone control system for use within a headphone includes a temperature sensor for detecting whether the circumference temperature of the headphone is relatively far from the human temperature implying the headphone is no longer worn by the user, and a gravity sensor for detecting whether the headphone is stationary implying that the headphone is not used for enabling a power saving mode, or is moving implying that the headphone is not yet unused for maintaining operation. The detection constantly is applied to the headphone disregarding whether the headphone is in an operation mode or a power saving mode so as to efficiently have the headphone operated in response to currently using or power-saved in response to non-using.

  • Publication number: 20200119164
    Abstract: A method includes removing a dummy gate structure to form a gate trench over a semiconductor layer, forming a high-k gate dielectric layer over an interfacial layer exposed in the gate trench, depositing a metal-containing precursor over the high-k gate dielectric layer to form a metal-containing layer, and subsequently depositing an aluminum-containing precursor over the metal-containing layer, where depositing the aluminum-containing precursor forms an aluminum oxide layer at an interface between the high-k gate dielectric layer and the interfacial layer and where the metal-containing precursor includes a metal different from aluminum. The method further includes, subsequent to depositing the aluminum-containing precursor, removing a portion of the metal-containing layer, depositing a work-function metal layer over a remaining portion of the metal-containing layer, and forming a bulk conductive layer over the work-function metal layer, resulting in a metal gate structure.
