  • Publication number: 20240153552
    Abstract: A memory array for computing-in-memory (CIM) is disclosed. The memory array for CIM includes a bit cell array, at least one word line and at least one bit line. The bit cell array has a plurality of bit cells, wherein each bit cell is operated at an operating voltage. The at least one word line is electrically connected to the bit cell array, wherein the at least one word line is associated with a first parameter. The at least one bit line is electrically connected to the bit cell array, wherein the bit cells extend along a specific direction, each the at least one bit line has an electrical parameter associated therewith, each the bit cell is associated with a second parameter, a first quantity of the plurality of bit cells of the bit cell array extends along the specific direction, and the memory array determines how an expansion associated with at least one of the first parameter and the second parameter is according to the specific direction.

  • Patent number: 11968817
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a fin structure. A source/drain region is formed on the fin structure. A first gate structure is disposed over the fin structure. A source/drain contact is disposed over the source/drain region. The source/drain contact has a protruding segment that protrudes at least partially over the first gate structure. The source/drain contact electrically couples together the source/drain region and the first gate structure.

  • Publication number: 20230128037
    Abstract: A transparent keycap manufacturing method includes adhering an opaque base to a fixing film, performing a laser engraving process or an etching process on a bottom surface of the opaque base to generate a continuous hollow pattern region and a pattern component surrounded by the continuous hollow pattern region, coating transparent glue on the bottom surface of the opaque base to fill the continuous hollow pattern region with the transparent glue, adhering a transparent base to the bottom surface of the opaque base, and removing the fixing film from the opaque base.

  • Patent number: 9984834
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing keycaps, each keycap having a top and a skirt, includes: providing a first jig having a plurality of positioning units; arranging correspondingly a plurality of keycaps onto the plurality of positioning units; attaching a first film including an ink layer and a first release layer to the plurality of keycaps by using an out-mold transfer technique, such that the first film covers respective upper surfaces of the tops and respective side surfaces of the skirts of keycaps; removing the first release film; laser-engraving the ink layer; and forming a protection layer on the laser-engraved ink layer. A keycap manufactured by the method of the present invention is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9691569
    Abstract: A light-transmissible keycap and the manufacturing method thereof are provided. The light-transmissible keycap has multiple light-transmissible symbol areas, and each light-transmissible symbol area has at least one character assigned with a color. Each light-transmissible symbol area is covered with only one light-transmissible color layer. Thus, when an external light is emitted from a light source beneath the keycap, the external light will only pass through one light-transmissible color layer covering that light-transmissible symbol area, and not pass through the light-transmissible color layer covering the other light-transmissible symbol area. Therefore, a bleeding problem due to multiple light-transmissible color layers overlapped and covering the same light-transmissible symbol area is avoided.
