  • Publication number: 20250031404
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include one or more transistor structures that include a plurality of source/drain regions and a gate structure between the source/drain regions. The semiconductor device may further include one or more dielectric layers between a source/drain contact structure and a gate structure of the one or more of the transistor structures. The one or more dielectric layers may be manufactured using on oxidation treatment process to tune the dielectric constant of the one or more dielectric layers. The dielectric constant of the one or more dielectric layers may be tuned to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the source/drain contact structure and the gate structure (which are conductive structures). In particular, the dielectric constant of the one or more spacer dielectric may be tuned using the oxidation treatment process to lower the as-deposited dielectric constant of the one or more dielectric layers.

  • Patent number: 11579795
    Abstract: A control method for a solid state drive is provided. The solid state drive includes a non-volatile memory with plural blocks. In a step (a1), a block is opened. In a step (a2), a program action is performed to store a valid write data into the open block. Then, a step (a3) is performed to judge whether an amount of the valid write data in the open block reaches a predetermined capacity. In a step (a4), if the amount of the valid write data in the open block does not reach the predetermined capacity, the step (a2) is performed again. In a step (a5), if the amount of the valid write data in the open block reaches the predetermined capacity, the open block is closed and the step (a1) is performed again. The predetermined capacity is lower than a capacity of one block.

  • Patent number: 10616568
    Abstract: A VST-HMD (Video See-Through Head Mounted Display) includes at least one camera, a first display device, a second display device, a first lens, a second lens, a first eye tracker, a second eye tracker, and a processor. The camera captures environmental image information. The first eye tracker detects left-eye motion information of a user. The second eye tracker detects right-eye motion information of the user. The processor determines an eye focus region of the user and depth information of the eye focus region according to the environmental image information, the left-eye motion information, and the right-eye motion information. The processor further monitors a displacement of the eye focus region and a change in the depth information, and accordingly determines whether to adjust image positions of the first display device and the second display device and/or focus of the camera.
