  • Publication number: 20240145249
    Abstract: A device includes first and second gate structures respectively extending across the first and second fins, and a gate isolation plug between a longitudinal end of the first gate structure and a longitudinal end of the second gate structure. The gate isolation plug comprises a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer has an upper portion and a lower portion below the upper portion. The upper portion has a thickness smaller than a thickness of the lower portion of the first dielectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20230268384
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure according to the present disclosure includes a base fin over a substrate, a stack of nanostructures disposed directly over the base fin, a gate structure wrapping around each of the stack of nanostructures, an isolation feature disposed over the substrate and adjacent the base fin, and a dielectric fin disposed directly on the isolation feature. The dielectric includes in a bottom portion, a middle layer over the bottom portion and a top layer over the middle layer. The bottom portion includes an outer layer and an inner layer spaced apart from the gate structure and the isolation feature by the outer layer. The middle layer is in direct contact with top surfaces of the inner layer and the outer layer. The dielectric constant of the top layer of the dielectric fin is greater than the dielectric constant of the middle layer.

  • Publication number: 20100178967
    Abstract: A shooting game processing method used in a shooting game system consisting of a shooting game console and a light gun, where when the light gun transmits a wireless shooting signal to the shooting game console, the shooting game console judges whether or not the coordinate value of the shooting signal matches the coordinate value of the shooting target and adds a value to the score-multiplication zone when matched, and then the shooting game console stores the coordinate value of the shooting signal and judges whether or not the coordinate value of the shooting signal matches one storage coordinate value and then combines the value displayed on the score-multiplication display zone and the score of the shooting that hit the shooting target to obtain a total score for display on a score display zone.

  • Publication number: 20100137066
    Abstract: A simulation game system for playing interactive games is disclosed to include a game console, a game apparatus body made from an inflatable air cushion material and having a manipulation structure operable by a user to produce a control signal and to transmit the produced control signal to the game console, and a control module, which is mounted in an accommodation chamber in the game apparatus body, having a motion sensor and buttons operable by a user to produce control signals that are transmitted to the game console for decode, analysis and calculation for enabling the operation status to be displayed on a display screen. The simulation game system is a simple, light weight, human-body friendly design that facilitates player's manipulation during the game, enabling the player to simulate the reality.
