  • Publication number: 20240120203
    Abstract: A method includes forming a dummy gate over a semiconductor fin; forming a source/drain epitaxial structure over the semiconductor fin and adjacent to the dummy gate; depositing an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer to cover the source/drain epitaxial structure; replacing the dummy gate with a gate structure; forming a dielectric structure to cut the gate structure, wherein a portion of the dielectric structure is embedded in the ILD layer; recessing the portion of the dielectric structure embedded in the ILD layer; after recessing the portion of the dielectric structure, removing a portion of the ILD layer over the source/drain epitaxial structure; and forming a source/drain contact in the ILD layer and in contact with the portion of the dielectric structure.

  • Publication number: 20100172130
    Abstract: An atmosphere light having a light post with carved character or patterns comprises a first light source, a second light source, a light post, and a light holder. The light post is mounted on the light holder, and the second light source is disposed at an appropriate position on the light post to project light outward. The light post is at least partially or fully made of light-transmitting material, and a surface of which is carved with characters or patterns. The first light source is disposed on the surface of the light holder and projects colorful light outward through the light-transmitting material, and the projection of the patterns created by a color light source projecting light through the light-transmitting light post can create desired atmosphere.

  • Publication number: 20100009621
    Abstract: An external rotor brushless DC motor driven exhaust fan is provided with an external rotor brushless DC motor and a LED illumination device in its inner space. The uses of the external rotor brushless DC motor and the low voltage driven LED illumination device enable the exhaust fan to have the functions of air exhausting and illumination, and to reduce the power consumption and noise. On top of that, the reduction in power consumption of the external rotor brushless DC motor can lower the carbon emission of the exhaust fan, so the exhaust fan is not only environmentally friendly but also energy saving.
