  • Patent number: 11961919
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes: forming a fin protruding above a substrate, where a top portion of the fin comprises a layer stack that includes alternating layers of a first semiconductor material and a second semiconductor material; forming a dummy gate structure over the fin; forming openings in the fin on opposing sides of the dummy gate structure; forming source/drain regions in the openings; removing the dummy gate structure to expose the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material under the dummy gate structure; performing a first etching process to selectively remove the exposed first semiconductor material, where after the first etching process, the exposed second semiconductor material form nanostructures, where each of the nanostructures has a first shape; and after the first etching process, performing a second etching process to reshape each of the nanostructures into a second shape different from the first shape.

  • Publication number: 20080192735
    Abstract: A multi-function Bluetooth® VoIP apparatus is adapted for conducting a talk over network with a network-accessible host. The multi-function Bluetooth® VoIP apparatus includes a memory module, a Bluetooth® module, a USB module, and a control module. In operation, the USB module is inserted into a USB port of the host. Then the control module logs in a VoIP system via a VoIP software program with a username and a password read from the memory module. Then, the Bluetooth® module transmits voice signals from a subscriber, who is calling or being called, via the VoIP system to a Bluetooth® wireless communication device. Also, the Bluetooth® module transmits voice signals from the Bluetooth® wireless communication device via the VoIP system to the subscriber.
