  • Publication number: 20240153943
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device comprises a source region and a drain region in a substrate and laterally spaced. A gate stack is over the substrate and between the source region and the drain region. The drain region includes two or more first doped regions having a first doping type in the substrate. The drain region further includes one or more second doped regions in the substrate. The first doped regions have a greater concentration of first doping type dopants than the second doped regions, and each of the second doped regions is disposed laterally between two neighboring first doped regions.

  • Patent number: 7483182
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a scanning module includes the steps of: providing a first fixing force to mount an adjustment assembly, to which an image sensor is attached, onto a base of the scanning module and loosely fixing the adjustment assembly to the base with a first fixing force; adjusting a relative position between the adjustment assembly and the base of the scanning module, and testing a first adjustment result until the first adjustment result is accepted; securing the adjustment assembly to the base of the scanning module with a second fixing force; and removing the first fixing force. The first and second fixing forces come from different sources.

  • Publication number: 20060017987
    Abstract: A scan device includes a body, a scanning module disposed in the body, a cover pivotably connected to the body, an optical sensor and a power supply controller. The body has a scan platen, on which a document may be placed. The optical sensor for receiving ambient light and correspondingly outputting an open-state signal is disposed on the cover or body. The power supply controller electrically connected to the optical sensor controls power supplied to the scanning module according to the open-state signal.
