Patent number: 11916146Abstract: A device includes a semiconductor fin, and a gate stack on sidewalls and a top surface of the semiconductor fin. The gate stack includes a high-k dielectric layer, a work-function layer overlapping a bottom portion of the high-k dielectric layer, and a blocking layer overlapping a second bottom portion of the work-function layer. A low-resistance metal layer overlaps and contacts the work-function layer and the blocking layer. The low-resistance metal layer has a resistivity value lower than second resistivity values of both of the work-function layer and the blocking layer. A gate spacer contacts a sidewall of the gate stack.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Chung-Chiang Wu, Po-Cheng Chen, Kuo-Chan Huang, Hung-Chin Chung, Hsien-Ming Lee, Chien-Hao Chen

Patent number: 9635302Abstract: An active pixel sensor device and the method thereof include an active pixel sensing array and a synchronous reading circuit. The active pixel sensing array is formed by a plurality of sensing pixels disposed in a form of an array. Each sensing pixel has a power terminal. The synchronous reading circuit connects to the power terminals of all sensing pixels, detects a summation of currents flowing through all sensing pixels, converts the summation of currents to an output signal, and outputs the output signal that represents the optical sensing information. In addition to reading each sensing pixel, the active pixel sensor device further controls the synchronous reading circuit to read the output signal corresponding to the summation of currents of all sensing pixels. The active pixel sensor device using the same active pixel sensing array can be applied to large-area sensing.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: ELAN MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Po-Hao Wu, Chun-Kai Liu

Publication number: 20160050378Abstract: A pixel sensor device has a first sensing unit, a second sensing unit, a first control and reading unit, and a second control and reading unit. The first and second sensing units are disposed concentrically. The first and second control and reading units are connected respectively to the first and second sensing units for separately or simultaneously controlling the first and second sensing units to perform sensing. Since the first and second sensing units are formed by a single pixel sensing array and arranged concentrically, only a single focusing element is required to align centers of the first and second sensing units during the manufacturing process. This achieves high focus accuracy and increases precision in recognition. In the applications of fingerprint recognition and pulse measurement, the user only uses a single finger for sensing so that inaccurate focusing resulted from moving finger is avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2015Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventors: Po-Hao WU, Chun-Kai LIU
