  • Publication number: 20240194760
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide a semiconductor device and methods of formation. The semiconductor device includes a gate-all-around transistor having one or more dielectric regions that include or more dielectric gases. The dielectric regions may include a first dielectric region between epitaxial regions (e.g., source/drain regions) and a first portion of a gate structure of the gate-all-around transistor. The dielectric regions may further include a second dielectric region between a contact structure of gate-all-around transistor and a second portion of the gate structure. By including the dielectric regions in the gate-all-around transistor, a parasitic capacitance associated with the gate-all-around transistor may be reduced relative to another gate-all-around transistor not including the dielectric regions.

  • Publication number: 20240135745
    Abstract: An electronic device has a narrow viewing angle state and a wide viewing angle state, and includes a panel and a light source providing a light passing through the panel. In the narrow viewing angle state, the light has a first relative light intensity and a second relative light intensity. The first relative light intensity is the strongest light intensity, the second relative light intensity is 50% of the strongest light intensity, the first relative light intensity corresponds to an angle of 0°, the second relative light intensity corresponds to a half-value angle, and the half-value angle is between ?15° and 15°. In the narrow angle state, a third relative light intensity at each angle between 20° and 60° or each angle between ?20° and ?60° is lower than 20% of the strongest light intensity.

  • Publication number: 20240113203
    Abstract: A method includes providing a fin extending from a substrate, the fin including a plurality of semiconductor channel layers, and where a gate is disposed over the fin. A first spacer layer is deposited over the gate and over the fin in a source/drain region. The first spacer layer has a first etch rate. A second spacer layer is deposited over the first spacer layer. The second spacer layer has a second etch rate less than the first etch rate. The plurality of semiconductor channel layers are removed from the source/drain region to form a trench having a funnel shape. After forming the trench, inner spacers are formed along a sidewall surface of the trench. In various embodiments, lateral sidewall surfaces of each semiconductor channel layer of the plurality of semiconductor channel layers is substantially free of an inner spacer material.
