  • Publication number: 20240145626
    Abstract: The present application discloses a semiconductor structure including: a base, the base being made of an amorphous material and including at least one trench; a monocrystalline layer, at least part of the monocrystalline layer being provided in the trench; and an epitaxial structure layer, located on the side of the monocrystalline layer away from the base. The semiconductor structure disclosed in the present application includes the monocrystalline layer formed in the at least one trench of the base, and an amorphous material with a thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of the monocrystalline layer is selected as the base, which can relieve the tensile stress generated by the monocrystalline layer during the epitaxial process. At the same time, the epitaxial structure layer is grown on an independent monocrystalline layer, and the size is small, which alleviates the problem of semiconductor film cracking on the large-size substrate.

  • Patent number: 11973335
    Abstract: A solid state circuit breaker has both solid state electronics and a physical switch. The solid state circuit breaker facilitates power measuring for end loads connected to a panel board circuit, e.g. receptacles, lighting, etc., over current protection, and disconnection all within one device. The solid state circuit breaker can be used at 100% of its rated capacity as opposed to 80% code-mandated limitation for thermal magnetic circuit breakers. The solid state circuit breaker also can provide power/current data (real-time) without the need of an additional device. The solid state circuit breaker further facilitates electronic, i.e. remote, opening, closing, and current limiting for demand response or load shedding.
