Patent number: 11948971Abstract: A method includes forming isolations extending into a semiconductor substrate, recessing the isolation regions, wherein a semiconductor region between the isolation regions forms a semiconductor fin, forming a first dielectric layer on the isolation regions and the semiconductor fin, forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, planarizing the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer, and recessing the first dielectric layer. A portion of the second dielectric layer protrudes higher than remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding dielectric fin. A portion of the semiconductor fin protrudes higher than the remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding semiconductor fin. A portion of the protruding semiconductor fin is recessed to form a recess, from which an epitaxy semiconductor region is grown. The epitaxy semiconductor region expands laterally to contact a sidewall of the protruding dielectric fin.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Jeng-Wei Yu, Tsz-Mei Kwok, Tsung-Hsi Yang, Li-Wei Chou, Ming-Hua Yu

Patent number: 9335401Abstract: A microwave sensor adjusts its sensing range based on a range gate selected from multiple range gates. An active antenna module transmits a first FMCW signal toward a target based on the selected range gate and for receiving second FMCW signal reflected from the target. A modulating module is used for generating modulation signal. The bandwidth of the first FMCW signal depends on an amplitude of the modulation signal. A first demodulator is used for demodulating the first FMCW signal and the second FMCW signal to generate beat frequency. A second demodulator is used to demodulate the beat frequency signal to generate a Doppler signal. An indentifying circuit is used for generating a triggering signal based on a voltage difference between integral of the Doppler signal from an object within the rage gate and an integral of clutter.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: U&U ENGINEERING INC.Inventors: Chi-Ho Chang, Li-Wei Yu, Yi-Ting Yang, Yun-Chun Sung, Ming-Tsung Hsu, Yih-Ming Huang, Ping-Chang Tsao
