  • Patent number: 11916131
    Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment, a method of forming a vertical device is provided. The method includes: providing a protrusion over a substrate; forming an etch stop layer over the protrusion; laterally etching a sidewall of the etch stop layer; forming an insulating layer over the etch stop layer; forming a film layer over the insulating layer and the etch stop layer; performing chemical mechanical polishing on the film layer and exposing the etch stop layer; etching a portion of the etch stop layer to expose a top surface of the protrusion; forming an oxide layer over the protrusion and the film layer; and performing chemical mechanical polishing on the oxide layer and exposing the film layer.

  • Patent number: 11915936
    Abstract: A device includes a substrate, a gate structure over the substrate, gate spacers on opposite sidewalls of the gate structure, source/drain structures over the substrate and on opposite sides of the gate structure, and a self-assemble monolayer (SAM) in contact with an inner sidewall of one of the gate spacer and in contact with a top surface of the gate structure.

  • Patent number: 5741055
    Abstract: A hard disk converting drawer structure including a drawer and a fixing seat. A pull handle is back and forth slidably disposed at the front end of bottom side of the drawer. A transverse beam is disposed between two balance levers of the pull handle for back and forth pulling an auxiliary lever to press and close/open a touch switch. When the touch switch is pressed and closed, the auxiliary lever is forced by a leaf spring disposed on one side to retract the pull handle to a hidden position. When the touch switch is bounded open, the pull handle is pushed and ejected for a user to easily pull out the pull handle. When pulling the pull handle, the auxiliary lever is driven to push a stopper block projecting from one side of the fixing seat so as to smoothly draw out the drawer from the fixing seat for taking out the hard disk.

  • Patent number: 5563767
    Abstract: A drawer type hard diskdrive adapter including a mounting frame fastened to the computer mainframe, a casing covered with a top cover and moved in and out of the mounting frame to carry a hard diskdrive, the top cover having a hook hooked on a spring-supported sliding block in a sliding track at one side of the casing, and two projecting rods fitted into respective trapezoidal openings on the front side of the casing, the casing having a pivoted handle at the front side, which forces the projecting rods of the top cover out of the trapezoidal openings when it is turned upwards through 90.degree. angle, causing the casing separated from the mounting frame for loading or unloading the hard diskdrive.
