  • Patent number: 12008939
    Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a fingerprint sensing circuit that is configured to receive fingerprint sensing signals corresponding to a fingerprint image from fingerprint sensors via fingerprint sensing lines. The fingerprint sensing circuit is further configured to select a subset of the fingerprint sensing lines to form a fingerprint sensing zone having at least one boundary and adapted for a fingerprint sensing operation based on a fingerprint touch area. The subset of fingerprint sensing lines is selected based on the at least one boundary of the fingerprint sensing zone. The fingerprint sensing circuit is further configured to generate the fingerprint image according to the fingerprint sensing signals by a remapping operation.

  • Publication number: 20240096806
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure is provided. A substrate including a fin structure is received, provided or formed. A sacrificial gate layer is formed over the fin structure and a source/drain structure is formed adjacent to the sacrificial gate layer, wherein the sacrificial gate layer is surrounded by a dielectric structure. The sacrificial gate layer is removed, wherein a recess is defined by the dielectric structure. A work function layer is formed in the recess, wherein the work function layer includes an overhang portion at an opening of the recess. A thickness of the work function layer is reduced. A glue layer is formed over the work function layer. A semiconductor structure thereof is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20080110363
    Abstract: The disclosed is a physisorption-based microcontact printing process capable of controlling film thickness, primarily for creating patterns of thin film of organic molecules in micron and submicron scales, comprising an inking phase, a printing phase, and a demolding phase. The inking phase is combined with a thin-film growth approach, wherein the thin-film approach enables growth of an organic thin film with desired thickness onto a stamp, effectively controls the thickness of the pattern of the organic thin film transferred in the next printing phase. The demolding phase enables proper control of the temperature of and the printing pressure upon the transferred thin-film pattern to control the quality of surface roughness and residual internal stress in the printed pattern.
