Abstract: A first dielectric layer is formed over upper and side surfaces of a semiconductor fin structure. A mask layer is formed over a first portion of the first dielectric layer disposed over the upper surface of the fin structure. The mask layer and the first dielectric layer have different material compositions. Second portions of the first dielectric layer disposed on side surfaces of the fin structure are etched. The mask layer protects the first portion of the first dielectric layer from being etched. A second dielectric layer is formed over the mask layer and the side surfaces of the fin structure. An oxidation process is performed to convert the mask layer into a dielectric material having substantially a same material composition as the first or second dielectric layer. The dielectric material and remaining portions of the first or second dielectric layer collectively serve as a gate dielectric of a transistor.

Abstract: A backlight module unit and a backlight module are provided. The backlight module unit includes a first light source, a second light source, and an optical barrier. A light source interval is defined between the first light source and the second light source, while a barrier interval is defined between the optical barrier and the second light source. Because the barrier interval is substantially shorter than a half of the light source interval, the backlight module unit mixes the light evenly, and prevents the dark bands from forming due to the disposition of the optical barrier. Thereby, the backlight module that comprises the plural aforesaid backlight units will have no dark bands, mix light evenly, and be thin overall.
