Publication number: 20240079786Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with peripheral conductive housing structures, a first antenna, and a second antenna. A gap may divide the housing structures into a first segment forming an arm of the first antenna and a second segment forming an arm of the second antenna. A first feed terminal may be coupled to the first segment and a second feed terminal may be coupled to the second segment. Switchable components may be coupled in parallel between the first and second feed terminals across the gap. The switchable components may be adjusted to tune the frequency response of the first and/or second antenna. The switchable components may have a first state in which only the first feed terminal feeds the first antenna and may have a second state in which both the first and second feed terminals feed the first antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Han Wang, Aobo Li, Victor C Lee, Yuancheng Xu, Ahmed Ali Abdelhaliem Nafe, Enrique Ayala Vazquez, Yiren Wang, Yuan Tao, Christopher Q Ma, Zhiheng Zhou, Sherry Cao, Dale T Morgan, Timothy L Stickles, Hao Xu, Hongfei Hu, Mattia Pascolini

Patent number: 11862683Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for forming ultra-thin fins with a tapered bottom profile for improved structural rigidity and gate control characteristics. The method includes forming a fin structure that includes an epitaxial layer portion and a doped region portion surrounded by an isolation region so that a top section of the epitaxial layer portion is above the isolation region. The method also includes depositing a silicon-based layer on the top portion of the epitaxial layer above the isolation region and annealing the silicon-based layer to reflow the silicon-based layer. The method further includes etching the silicon-based layer and the fin structure above the isolation region to form a first bottom tapered profile in the fin structure above the isolation region and annealing the fin structure to form a second bottom tapered profile below the first bottom tapered profile and above the isolation region.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sherry Li, Chia-Der Chang, Yi-Jing Lee
