  • Publication number: 20240178271
    Abstract: Various examples of an integrated circuit device and a method for forming the device are disclosed herein. In an example, a method includes receiving a workpiece that includes a substrate, and a device fin extending above the substrate. The device fin includes a channel region. A portion of the device fin adjacent the channel region is etched, and the etching creates a source/drain recess and forms a dielectric barrier within the source/drain recess. The workpiece is cleaned such that a bottommost portion of the dielectric barrier remains within a bottommost portion of the source/drain recess. A source/drain feature is formed within the source/drain recess such that the bottommost portion of the dielectric barrier is disposed between the source/drain feature and a remainder of the device fin.

  • Publication number: 20240062729
    Abstract: A display device, including a display module, a photodetector, a processor, and an optical structure layer, is provided. The display module is used for displaying an image. The photodetector is electrically connected to the display module and is used for detecting brightness of an ambient light and outputting a sensing signal. The processor is electrically connected to the display module and the photodetector, and is used for receiving the sensing signal and outputting a command signal to the display module according to the sensing signal, so that the display module adjusts brightness of the image according to the command signal. The optical structure layer is disposed on the display module. A glossiness of the optical structure layer is between 4 GU and 35 GU, and a reflectivity of specular component included (SCI) of the optical structure layer is between 3% and 6%.

  • Publication number: 20200337179
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an expandable heat sink for an electronic device. The expandable heat sink includes flexible thermal conductive material and an activator. The activator can cause the expandable heat sink to be in a retracted configuration with a retracted height or in an expanded configuration with an expanded height, wherein the expanded height is greater than the retracted height. In an example, the flexible thermal conductive material includes graphite sheets.

  • Patent number: 10127408
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a lock, a switch, and a south bridge. The lock is configured to receive a key and to alternate between a locked position and an unlocked position. The switch is in communication with the lock. The switch is configured to receive a signal from the lock, to close if the lock is in the locked position, and to open if the lock is in the unlocked position. The south bridge is in communication with the switch. The south bridge is configured to disable a plurality of communication ports of the information handling system when the switch is closed, and configured to enable the communication ports when the switch is opened.
