  • Patent number: 11961912
    Abstract: The present application provides a semiconductor device and the method of making the same. The method includes recessing a fin extending from a substrate, forming a base epitaxial feature on the recessed fin, forming a bar-like epitaxial feature on the base epitaxial feature, and forming a conformal epitaxial feature on the bar-like epitaxial feature. The forming of the bar-like epitaxial feature includes in-situ doping the bar-like epitaxial feature with an n-type dopant at a first doping concentration. The forming of the conformal epitaxial feature includes in-situ doping the conformal epitaxial feature with a second doping concentration greater than the first doping concentration.

  • Patent number: 11923432
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a multi-layer stack of alternating first layers of a first semiconductor material and second layers of a second semiconductor material on a semiconductor substrate, forming a first recess through the multi-layer stack, and laterally recessing sidewalls of the second layers of the multi-layer stack. The sidewalls are adjacent to the first recess. The method further includes forming inner spacers with respective seams adjacent to the recessed second layers of the multi-layer stack and performing an anneal treatment on the inner spacers to close the respective seams.

  • Publication number: 20220087717
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a delivery assistance tool configured to be sleeved on shoulders of a fetus for releasing shoulder dystocia. The delivery assistance tool includes a wrapping part and at least one rope. The wrapping part has two opposite ends fixed to each other so as to form an accommodation space. The accommodation space is configured to accommodate the shoulders, chest, and back of the fetus. The wrapping part has at least one rope channel surrounding the accommodation space. The rope is partially disposed in the rope channel and disposed through two opposite openings of the rope channel so that different parts of the rope are respectively located inside and outside the rope channel. An opening of the accommodation space is adjustable by adjusting the length of the part of the rope in the rope channel.

  • Publication number: 20220087716
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a delivery assistance device for vaginal breech delivery. The delivery assistance device is suitable for dealing with a breech fetus delivering from a maternal and configured to be disposed on the fetal head for assisting the fetal head to delivered out of the maternal. The delivery assistance device includes a plurality of segment plates and at least one handle. The segment plates are assembled to become a curved plate configured to be disposed on the fetal head. The handle is disposed at a side of the curved plate and configured to move the curved plate to change a position of the fetal head when an external force is applied thereto, such that the fetus head can be released from the maternal pubis and delivered out of the maternal.

  • Publication number: 20080188769
    Abstract: A foldable brush self-sampling device for collecting of cell specimens from a body cavity, such as cervix, endometrium, rectum, nasal cavity and fauces, for diagnostic purposes, allows a user to collect cell specimens in the privacy of home. The device includes a sheath and a brush bar. The brush bar would fold into the sheath, which is with smaller diameter. The user inserts the sheath into the cavity easily and pushes the brush bar to expose the brush elements. After insertion of the sheath and push of the brush bar, the brush bar is rotated to obtain the specimen from the body cavity and then retracted in order to return the sheath.

  • Patent number: 6653784
    Abstract: A new type of light includes a casing used for containing an emitting device. Further, the emitting device includes a couple of wires, an insulator ball, a filament and a fuse. The couple of wires are connected with a power supply via the casing, wherein the contact points of wires and casing are defined as the bottom of the light. Moreover, the insulator is posited above the bottom of light. Subsequently, the filament is posited above the insulator ball, and the fuse is posited on the top of wires. Particularly, the tops of wires are wound to form hooks to hold the fuse. The hooks are flattened for increasing the adhesion of connection between wires and fuse.
