  • Publication number: 20240120236
    Abstract: A method includes etching a gate stack in a wafer to form a trench, depositing a silicon nitride liner extending into the trench, and depositing a silicon oxide layer. The process of depositing the silicon oxide layer includes performing a treatment process on the wafer using a process gas including nitrogen and hydrogen, and performing a soaking process on the wafer using a silicon precursor.

  • Patent number: 10117016
    Abstract: An earphone capable of reducing pressure in the ear canal and providing enhanced sound quality is provided along with a method for making the same. The earphone includes an earphone body penetrated by an air channel and having a receiving space receiving a vibrating membrane. A loudspeaker is provided in the receiving space and corresponds to the vibrating membrane. When the earphone is worn in the ear, the ear canal is in communication with the outside through the air channel so that acoustic waves generated by the vibrating membrane and reflected by the eardrum can propagate out of, rather than back and forth within, the ear canal. Thus, the eardrum is safe from an abnormal pressure otherwise attributable to repeatedly reflected acoustic waves, and the vibrating membrane is protected from a compressive force that may otherwise result from reflected acoustic waves and cause sound distortion.

  • Patent number: 7573651
    Abstract: A lens adjusting mechanism includes a fixed board, a movable board, two first sliding blocks, a first driving device and two second sliding blocks. The movable board is provided on the fixed board. The first sliding blocks, each of which has two first driving members connected to the first sliding blocks, are provided on the movable board for movement along an X axis. The first driving members drive the first sliding blocks moving along a Y axis together with the movable board. The second sliding blocks, each of which has two second driving members pivoted on the fixed board and connected to the second sliding blocks, are provided on the movable board for movement along the Y axis. The second driving members drive the second sliding blocks moving along the X axis together with the movable board.
