Abstract: An aerosol-generating device may include a heater configured to heat an aerosol-generating article, a power source for supplying power to the heater, and a controller configured to control power supplied from the power source to the heater so that the temperature of the heater is controlled based on a temperature profile. The temperature profile may include a preheating profile and a smoking profile. The preheating profile may include a first period in which the temperature of the heater rises to a first temperature, a second period in which the temperature of the heater drops to a second temperature lower than the first temperature, and a third period in which the temperature of the heater rises again to a third temperature higher than the second temperature.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes first and second sheet patterns spaced apart from each other on a first region of the substrate, a first gate electrode extending between the first and second sheet patterns, third and fourth sheet patterns spaced apart from each other on a second region of the substrate, and a second gate electrode extending between the third and fourth sheet patterns. The first gate electrode includes a first work function controlling film, which is between the first and second sheet patterns, and a first filling conductive film on the first work function controlling film. The second gate electrode includes a second work function controlling film, which is between the third and fourth sheet patterns, and a second filling conductive film on the second work function controlling film. A distance between the third and fourth sheet patterns is greater than a distance between the first and second sheet patterns.
