  • Patent number: 11955535
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same are provided. A semiconductor device according to one embodiment includes an active region including a channel region and a source/drain region adjacent the channel region, a gate structure over the channel region of the active region, a source/drain contact over the source/drain region, a dielectric feature over the gate structure and including a lower portion adjacent the gate structure and an upper portion away from the gate structure, and an air gap disposed between the gate structure and the source/drain contact. A first width of the upper portion of the dielectric feature along a first direction is greater than a second width of the lower portion of the dielectric feature along the first direction. The air gap is disposed below the upper portion of the dielectric feature.

  • Publication number: 20240074206
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a random access memory (RAM) structure and a dielectric layer. The RAM structure is over a substrate and includes a bottom electrode layer, a ferroelectric layer over the bottom electrode layer, and a top electrode layer over the ferroelectric layer. The dielectric layer is over the substrate and laterally surrounds a lower portion of the RAM structure. From a cross-sectional view, the bottom electrode layer of the RAM structure has a lateral portion and a vertical portion, and the vertical portion upwardly extends from the lateral portion to a position higher than a top surface of the dielectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20240074119
    Abstract: An immersion cooling system includes a pressure seal tank, an electronic apparatus, a pressure balance pipe and a relief valve. The pressure seal tank is configured to store coolant. A vapor space is formed in the pressure seal tank above the liquid level of the coolant. The electronic apparatus is completely immersed in the coolant. The pressure balance pipe has a gas collection length. The first port of the pressure balance pipe is disposed on the top surface of the pressure seal tank. The relief valve is disposed on the second port of the pressure balance pipe. The second port is farther away from the top surface of the pressure seal tank than the first port. The gas collection length of the pressure equalization tube allows the concentration of vaporized coolant at the first port to be greater than the concentration of vaporized coolant at the second port.

  • Publication number: 20100262266
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, at a device, a signal from a first audio source. Audio content may be output based on the received signal. It may be determined whether a signal strength of the received signal has dropped below a threshold. Audio content may be automatically output from a second audio source when the signal strength of the received signal has dropped below the threshold.
