    Abstract: An optical path folding element includes a main body, a light absorption film layer and a matte structure. The main body has optical surface including an incident surface, a reflective surface and an emitting surface. A light enters into the optical folding element through the incident surface. The reflective surface reflects the light so as to change a traveling direction thereof. The light exits the optical folding element through the emitting surface. The light absorbing film layer is configured to reduce reflectance and provided adjacent to at least part of the optical surface, and the light absorbing film layer is in physical contact with the main body. The matte structure is disposed adjacent to at least part of the optical surface. The matte structure provides an undulating profile on a surface of the optical path folding element, and the matte structure is formed in one-piece with the main body.

  • Patent number: 11923429
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and method for forming the semiconductor device are provided. In some embodiments, a semiconductor substrate comprises a device region. An isolation structure extends laterally in a closed path to demarcate the device region. A first source/drain region and a second source/drain region are in the device region and laterally spaced. A sidewall of the first source/drain region directly contacts the isolation structure at a first isolation structure sidewall, and remaining sidewalls of the first source/drain region are spaced from the isolation structure. A selectively-conductive channel is in the device region, and extends laterally from the first source/drain region to the second source/drain region. A plate comprises a central portion and a first peripheral portion. The central portion overlies the selectively-conductive channel, and the first peripheral portion protrudes from the central portion towards the first isolation structure sidewall.

An orifice is also set on the radiation path of the anode. Accordingly, a process gas stream can be directed into the electric discharge channel and, after being applied with a biased electric field, with the aide of the anode and the magnetic pole device, a particle beam can be generated and radiated out of the channel.

  • Patent number: 7278839
    Abstract: A multi-stage vacuum pump includes a plurality of casings connected in series and each casing defining a respective compression chamber, a plurality of partition plates each set in between each two casings. When compressed by rotors at shafts in one compression chamber, compressed air passes through the air path formed in the corresponding partition plate to the next compression chamber for further compression, and finally compressed air passes to the last compression chamber through the air path formed in the last partition plate. Because the invention is designed to let compressed air directly pass through the air path in each partition plate, the outer diameter and volume of the multi-stage vacuum pump can be minimized to reduce the weight and the manufacturing cost.
