  • Publication number: 20240121924
    Abstract: A water-cooled heat dissipation module assembly capable of cooling a power module of a vehicle driving inverter system using a battery or fuel cell. The water-cooled heat dissipation module assembly includes a housing unit provided in the form of a housing having an opening portion at least partially opened at one side thereof. The housing unit and at least a part of a rim region of the cooling unit are made of a plastic material, and the housing unit and the cooling unit are joined to each other by plastic welding using a laser.

  • Publication number: 20240047275
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, first to third active fins are formed on a substrate. Each of the first to third active fins extends in a first direction, and the second active fin, the first active fin, and the third active fin are disposed in this order in a second direction crossing the first direction. The second active fin is removed using a first etching mask covering the first and third active fins. The third active fin is removed using a second etching mask covering the first active fin and a portion of the substrate from which the second active fin is removed. A first gate structure is formed on the first active fin. A first source/drain layer is formed on a portion of the first active fin adjacent the first gate structure.

  • Publication number: 20240047521
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a device isolation region is provided. The semiconductor device includes first active regions disposed on a substrate, and an isolation region between the active regions. The isolation region includes a first portion formed of a first insulating material, and a second portion formed of a second insulating material, having different characteristics from those of the first insulating material. The first portion is closer to the first active regions than the second portion. The second portion has a bottom surface having a height different from that of a bottom surface of the first portion.
