  • Patent number: 11990167
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same are provided. The method includes forming a bottom electrode layer over a substrate. A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) layers are formed over the bottom electrode layer. A top electrode layer is formed over the MTJ layers. The top electrode layer is patterned. After patterning the top electrode layer, one or more process cycles are performed on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer. A patterned top electrode layer, patterned MTJ layers and a patterned bottom electrode layer form MTJ structures. Each of the one or more process cycles includes performing an etching process on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer for a first duration and performing a magnetic treatment on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer for a second duration.

  • Patent number: 11929547
    Abstract: A mobile device includes a system circuit board, a metal frame, one or more other antenna elements, a display device, a first feeding element, and an RF (Radio Frequency) module. The system circuit board includes a system ground plane. The metal frame at least includes a first portion and a second portion. The metal frame at least has a first cut point positioned between the first portion and the second portion. The metal frame further has a second cut point for separating the other antenna elements from the first portion. The first cut point is arranged to be close to a middle region of the display device. The first feeding element is directly or indirectly electrically connected to the first portion. A first antenna structure is formed by the first feeding element and the first portion.

  • Patent number: 11926833
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transgenic plant cell comprising polynucleotide sequences encoding glycolate dehydrogenase, malate synthase, and an inhibitory polynucleotide targeting an endogenous glycolate transporter Plgg1, wherein expression of endogenous glycolate transporter Plgg1 in the transgenic plant cell is about 20% to 80% of expression of endogenous glycolate transporter Plgg1 in a plant cell that is not transformed with an inhibitory polynucleotide targeting an endogenous glycolate transporter Plgg1. Also disclosed are transgenic plants, transgenic plant cultures, and methods for increasing photosynthesis efficiency in plants. The disclosed methods enhance biomass productivity and reduce the negative impact of photorespiration and introduction of transgenic constructs on plant growth.

  • Publication number: 20240071947
    Abstract: A semiconductor package including a ring structure with one or more indents and a method of forming are provided. The semiconductor package may include a substrate, a first package component bonded to the substrate, wherein the first package component may include a first semiconductor die, a ring structure attached to the substrate, wherein the ring structure may encircle the first package component in a top view, and a lid structure attached to the ring structure. The ring structure may include a first segment, extending along a first edge of the substrate, and a second segment, extending along a second edge of the substrate. The first segment and the second segment may meet at a first corner of the ring structure, and a first indent of the ring structure may be disposed at the first corner of the ring structure.

  • Publication number: 20150351390
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided to detoxify an auxin-analog herbicide through the use of at least one GH3 polypeptide having amino acid/auxin analog herbicide conjugation activity. Such GH3 polypeptides in the presence of an auxin-analog herbicide will produce an amino acid/auxin-analog conjugate having reduced herbicidal activity. Various methods of employing the GH3 polypeptides and the polynucleotides encoding the same are provided. Such methods include methods to detoxify an auxin-analog herbicide comprising applying to a plant, a plant cell or a seed an auxin-analog herbicide, wherein the plant, plant cell or seed comprises a heterologous polynucleotide encoding a GH3 polypeptide, and expression of the GH3 polypeptide produces a non-herbicidal aspartate/auxin-analog conjugate or a glutamate/auxin-analog conjugate.
