  • Patent number: 11937415
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate including a circuit region and a well strap region, forming a mandrel extending from the circuit region to the well strap region, depositing mandrel spacers on sidewalls of the mandrel, removing the mandrel in the circuit region, while the mandrel in the well strap region remains intact, patterning the substrate with the mandrel spacers in the circuit region and the mandrel in the well strap region as an etch mask, thereby forming at least a first fin in the circuit region and a second fin in the well strap region, and epitaxially growing a first epitaxial feature over the first fin in the circuit region and a second epitaxial feature over the second fin in the well strap region. A width of the second fin is larger than a width of the first fin.

  • Patent number: 8474626
    Abstract: A wafer container includes a container body, which comprises a plurality of sidewalls, a bottom, and a top to define a space for containing wafers, an opening being formed on one sidewall, and a door with an outer surface and an inner surface. The top of the container body is disposed with a robotic flange which comprises a foolproof structure and a hemi-circular snap-hook portion that are disposed at the center and its circumference of a lower surface of the robotic flange facing the top. The foolproof structure has a geometric hole for a protruding portion on the top of the container body to be plugged in. After the protruding portion is plugged into the geometric hole, the robotic flange is further rotated along the container body about 180 degrees for the hemi-circular snap-hook portion to be engaged in a hemi-circular supporting portion on the top of the container body.

  • Patent number: 8428355
    Abstract: An processing method is used for processing an image file of an image, in which the image is divided into a plurality of image blocks, and at least one row of the minimum coded units sequentially define the image as a plurality of bands. The processing method includes the following steps. An image file of an image is supplied, in which the image file includes a bit stream and exchangeable image file (EXIF) data. A band indicator of the EXIF data is read according to an expanded range. A segment in the bit stream corresponding to a band encompassed by the expanded range is decoded according to the read band indicator corresponding to the band of the expanded range, so as to obtain the band.

  • Patent number: 8411973
    Abstract: A processing method for image file includes the following steps. An image file of an image is obtained, in which the image file includes a bit stream and an Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) data. A band indicator and a minimum coded unit (MCU) indicator are read according to an expanded range. A referential DC coefficient is obtained according to a hybrid direct current (DC) coefficient corresponding to a first MCU covered by the expanded range. A sub-clip of the MCU covered by the corresponding expanded range in the bit stream is decoded according to the read band indicator, the MCU indicator and the referential DC coefficient, so as to obtain at least one MCU.
