  • Patent number: 12080556
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor fin. The semiconductor device includes a metal gate disposed over the semiconductor fin. The semiconductor device includes a gate dielectric layer disposed between the semiconductor fin and the metal gate. The semiconductor device includes first spacers sandwiching the metal gate. The first spacers have a first top surface and the gate dielectric layer has a second top surface, and the first top surface and a first portion of the second top surface are coplanar with each other. The semiconductor device includes second spacers further sandwiching the first spacers. The second spacers have a third top surface above the first top surface and the second top surface. The semiconductor device includes a gate electrode disposed over the metal gate.

  • Publication number: 20170338386
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fabrication method for casting graphene quantum dots on LEDs and the structure thereof. A graphene and an ethanol are mixed uniformly. After the laser ablation, centrifugal purification, and molecular filtration processes, a graphene quantum dots solution is produced. Afterwards, the graphene quantum dots solution is dripped on a light-emitting surface of an LED using a drop casting method. After the ethanol evaporates by standing still, a graphene-quantum-dot-cast layer is formed. The photocarriers in the graphene-quantum-dot-cast layer generated by the illumination of the LED can flow to the light-emitting surface of the LED and thus increasing the carrier concentration and the light-emitting quantum efficiency of the LED. Thereby, enhancing the fluorescent efficiency of the LED.

  • Patent number: 9725324
    Abstract: A graphene quantum dots synthesis method includes fixing a graphene aqueous solution or a graphene oxide aqueous solution on a spin coater to spin the graphene aqueous solution or the graphene oxide aqueous solution, and irradiating a pulsed laser to focus on a graphene aqueous solution or a graphene oxide aqueous solution to generate exfoliation. After a processing period, quantum dots are generated in the graphene aqueous solution or the graphene oxide aqueous solution. Since graphene aqueous solution or graphene oxide aqueous solution does not contain organic chemistry pharmacy, the quantum dots synthesized by the method of the present invention can be produced without pollution. Furthermore, the purpose of simple process, low cost, and time-saved of synthesis can be achieved.
