  • Publication number: 20240088223
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a field effect transistor (FET) having a metal gate structure, a source and a drain over a substrate is formed. A first frontside contact disposed between dummy metal gate structures is formed over an isolation insulating layer. A frontside wiring layer is formed over the first frontside contact. A part of the substrate is removed from a backside of the substrate so that a bottom of the isolation insulating layer is exposed. A first opening is formed in the isolation insulating layer from the bottom of the isolation insulating layer to expose a bottom of the first frontside contact. A first backside contact is formed by filling the first opening with a conductive material to connect the first frontside contact.

  • Patent number: 11551894
    Abstract: An intelligent fuseless switch includes a moving contactor, a switch, a base, and a vibration detection module. When the vibration detection module detects that vibration intensity is higher than a preset value, the electromagnetic trip device is triggered by the base to push the moving contactor to open a circuit. The power cannot be introduced into the house. This automatic power-off mode has an active protection effect. After the vibration detection module is installed, if it needs to be repaired, it can be directly replaced without removing the circuit breaker, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance greatly.
