  • Publication number: 20240096712
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device includes a gate electrode, a gate dielectric layer, a channel layer, an insulating layer, a first source/drain electrode and a second source/drain electrode, a second dielectric layer, and a stop segment. The gate electrode is located within a first dielectric layer that overlies a substrate. The gate dielectric layer is located over the gate electrode. The channel layer is located on the gate dielectric layer. The insulating layer is located over the channel layer. The first source/drain electrode and the second source/drain electrode are located in the insulating layer, and connected to the channel layer. The second dielectric layer is beside one of the first source/drain electrode and the second source/drain electrode. The stop segment is embedded in the second dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 6926425
    Abstract: A LED-circuit board affixing arrangement includes a circuit board and a LED affixed thereon. The circuit board has a first side, an opposed second side having a circuitry provide thereon, and a positioning hole formed on the circuit board. The LED includes an illuminating body having a head portion and a tail portion, and two legs extended therefrom to electrically connect to the circuitry, wherein the illuminating body is inserted into the positioning hole to hold the illuminating body on the board body at a position that the head portion is protruded from the first side of the circuit board and the tail portion is protruded from the second side of the circuit board. Therefore, the illuminating body of the LED is capable for producing lights throughout the head and tail portions thereof to provide a consequent light effect at the first and second sides of the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 6255744
    Abstract: A built-in back-up power device operates a high-power apparatus for a short time period to prevent the loss of data or damage to the apparatus when power from a utility power source is interrupted. The built-in back-up power device includes a battery and a charger. The charger charges the battery when power is provided from the utility power source. During a power interruption or outage, the battery outputs back-up power to the high-power apparatus. A computer with such a built-in back-up power device is also provided.
