  • Publication number: 20240097005
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor device and semiconductor fabrication method. A semiconductor device includes: a gate structure over a semiconductor substrate, having a high-k dielectric layer, a p-type work function layer, an n-type work function layer, a dielectric anti-reaction layer, and a glue layer; and a continuous metal cap over the gate structure formed by metal material being deposited over the gate structure, a portion of the anti-reaction layer being selectively removed, and additional metal material being deposited over the gate structure. A semiconductor fabrication method includes: receiving a gate structure; flattening the top layer of the gate structure; precleaning and pretreating the surface of the gate structure; depositing metal material over the gate structure to form a discontinuous metal cap; selectively removing a portion of the anti-reaction layer; depositing additional metal material over the gate structure to create a continuous metal cap; and containing growth of the metal cap.

  • Patent number: 11929007
    Abstract: A display driving integrated circuit (IC) and a driving parameter adjustment method thereof are provided. The display driving IC includes a control circuit and a driving parameter determination circuit. The control circuit controls a current driving circuit and a scanning circuit according to a driving parameter, wherein the current driving circuit is suitable for driving multiple driving lines of a light emitting diode (LED) array, and the scanning circuit is suitable for driving multiple scanning lines of the LED array. The driving parameter determination circuit is coupled to the control circuit to provide the driving parameter. The driving parameter determination circuit dynamically adjusts the driving parameter for a target LED in the LED array according to a grayscale value of the target LED.

  • Patent number: 11082636
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display interface with a first display area and a second display area, a memory and a processor. The memory stores at least one instruction. The processor is coupled to the memory. After loading the program instruction, the processor performs: accessing an image record file with a plurality of original frames; simultaneously displaying the original frames in the first display area and the second display area according to an original scale; detecting whether a first object exists in the image record file; and when the first object is detected in the image record file, displaying a zoom-in image with the first object in the second display area according to a first magnification scale and displaying the original frame corresponding to the zoom-in image in the first display area according to the original scale, wherein the first magnification scale is greater than the original scale.
