  • Patent number: 10571256
    Abstract: A three-dimensional measurement sensor based on line structured light, comprising a sensing head and a controller. The sensing head is used for collecting section data and attitude information of its own, and matching the section data with the self attitude information. The sensing head comprises a three-dimensional camera, an attitude sensor, a laser and a control sub-board, wherein the three-dimensional camera is installed at a certain angle relative to the laser, and acquires elevation and grey information about an object surface corresponding to laser rays using a triangulation principle. The attitude sensor, the three-dimensional camera and the laser are installed on the same rigid plane, and the attitude sensor reflects measurement attitude of the three-dimensional camera and the laser in real time. The controller is used for measuring and controlling the sensing head, performing data processing transmission and supporting external control.

  • Patent number: 10290637
    Abstract: A conductive strap structure in lateral contact with a top semiconductor layer is formed on an inner electrode of a deep trench capacitor. A cavity overlying the conductive strap structure is filled a dielectric material to form a dielectric capacitor cap having a top surface that is coplanar with a topmost surface of an upper pad layer. A semiconductor mandrel in lateral contact with the dielectric capacitor cap is formed. The combination of the dielectric capacitor cap and the semiconductor mandrel is employed as a protruding structure around which a fin-defining spacer is formed. The semiconductor mandrel is removed, and the fin-defining spacer is employed as an etch mask in an etch process that etches a lower pad layer and the top semiconductor layer to form a semiconductor fin that laterally wraps around the conductive strap structure. An access finFET is formed employing two parallel portions of the semiconductor fin.
