Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same are provided. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a gate structure, a dielectric structure and a contact structure. The substrate has source/drain (S/D) regions. The gate structure is on the substrate and between the S/D regions. The dielectric structure covers the gate structure. The contact structure penetrates through the dielectric structure to connect to the S/D region. A lower portion of a sidewall of the contact structure is spaced apart from the dielectric structure by an air gap therebetween, while an upper portion of the sidewall of the contact structure is in contact with the dielectric structure.

Abstract: A method of generating a first performance-data-library (for a standard-cell-library) includes: for each standard cell that includes multiple gates, sorting the gates into groups including searching for matched ones amongst the gates (matched gates), grouping corresponding matched gates into corresponding multiple member-gates, and (for unmatched ones of the gates having no other matched gate (unmatched gates)), grouping the unmatched gates into corresponding single-member groups; for each standard cell, generating a corresponding first volume of performance data including, for each group, discretely calculating the first volume of performance data, mapping the volume of performance data to the subject gate in the group, and, for each multimember group, mapping the volume of performance data to non-subject gates; and basing the first performance-data-library at least in part on the first volumes of performance data.

Abstract: In a driving method for reducing display interference in in-cell multi-touch panel, a display driving signal is provided to K gate lines and a display image signal is provided to L source lines so as to drive corresponding transistors and capacitors in a display frame for displaying an image. The method also provides a touch driving signal to N touch driving lines and receives touch signals from M sensing lines to thereby detect one or more touch point positions of an external object in a touch frame based on the touch driving signal. In each touch frame, a sequence of providing the touch driving signal to N touch driving lines is different.

Abstract: A method for measuring the readability of a screen under sunshine is disclosed. In this method, a first set of basic data of a screen module to be tested under dark room conditions is measured. Next, a second set of basic data of the screen module under simulated sunshine conditions is measured. A first screen readability interval data and a second screen readability interval data are then obtained according to the first set of basic data and the second set of basic data. Finally, the first screen readability interval data and the second screen readability interval data are used to determine whether or not the screen module can be clearly read under sunshine. These readability interval data can be used as a basis for leave-factory quality inspection of screens.
