A cover layer extends along a first direction is formed and covers a first area surrounded by the cup-shaped electrode and exposes a second area and a third area surrounded by the cup-shaped electrode. A sacrificial layer is formed above the insulating layer. A stacked layer extends along a second direction and covers the second area surrounded by the cup-shaped electrode and a portion of the corresponding cover layer is formed. A conductive spacer material layer is formed on the stacked layer and the sacrificial layer. By using the sacrificial layer as an etch stop layer, the conductive spacer material layer is etched to form a conductive spacer at the sidewall of the stacked layer.

  • Patent number: 8266766
    Abstract: A hinge assembly has a pintle, a torque assembly and a resistance assembly. The pintle has a head formed on the pintle. The torque assembly is mounted on the pintle at a first side of the head to provide a force to automatically open the cover relative to the body to a first angle. The resistance assembly is mounted on the pintle at a second side of the head to provide a frictional force to hold the cover at a second angle relative to the body when the cover is closed relative to the body. Accordingly, the cover can be pivoted open relative to the body automatically with the torque provided by the torque assembly.
