  • Publication number: 20240186180
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) structure includes a gate structure, a source epitaxial structure, a drain epitaxial structure, a front-side interconnection structure, a backside dielectric layer, and a backside via. The source epitaxial structure and the drain epitaxial structure are respectively on opposite sides of the gate structure. The front-side interconnection structure is on a front-side of the source epitaxial structure and a front-side of the drain epitaxial structure. The backside dielectric layer is on a backside of the source epitaxial structure and a backside of the drain epitaxial structure and has an air gap therein. The backside via extends through the backside dielectric layer to a first one of the source epitaxial structure and the drain epitaxial structure.

  • Patent number: 8087822
    Abstract: A liquid container capable of self-generating power and showing temperature, comprising: a) a containing body consisting of a housing and an inner wall, a gap being formed between the housing and the inner wall; b) a circuit board positioned within the gap; c) a temperature sensor positioned in the gap for measuring the temperature of the contained liquid, the temperature sensor being electrically connected to the circuit board; d) a temperature indicator disposed in the gap and electrically connected to the circuit board, a displaying surface thereof being positioned on the surface of the housing; and e) a temperature difference power-generating element positioned within the gap and electrically coupled to the circuit board, a thermoelectric effect being created by the hot water filled into the space defined by the inner wall such that a thermal energy can be converted into the electric energy that is stored by an energy-accumulating element for providing the temperature indicator and the related elements wi
