  • Patent number: 10038090
    Abstract: Power Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) and methods of forming the same are provided. A power MOSFET may comprise a first drift region formed at a side of a gate electrode, and a second drift region beneath the gate electrode, adjacent to the first drift region, with a depth less than a depth of the first drift region so that the first drift region and the second drift region together form a stepwise shape. A sum of a depth of the second drift region, a depth of the gate dielectric, and a depth of the gate electrode may be of substantially a same value as a depth of the first drift region. The first drift region and the second drift region may be formed at the same time, using the gate electrode as a part of the implanting mask.

  • Publication number: 20170019574
    Abstract: A dynamic tracking device is provided. The aforementioned dynamic tracking device includes a video recording module, a plurality of sensors, a rotating module, and a controller in an embedded system. The controller compares the video image to determine the rotation direction of the camera without an aid from remote computers, making it a standalone tracking device. The controller configures the rotation direction according to the sensing results provided by the sensors. If the sensors detect activities, detection information will be provided to the controller to steer the rotating module to the location of the sensor. Therefore, the tracking device is able to dynamically monitor environment with the sensor feedback and automatically record activities without having to implement multiple recording devices. Unlike conventional tracking systems that require multiple cameras linked to remote super computers to perform tracking algorithm to steer cameras.
