  • Patent number: 11990167
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same are provided. The method includes forming a bottom electrode layer over a substrate. A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) layers are formed over the bottom electrode layer. A top electrode layer is formed over the MTJ layers. The top electrode layer is patterned. After patterning the top electrode layer, one or more process cycles are performed on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer. A patterned top electrode layer, patterned MTJ layers and a patterned bottom electrode layer form MTJ structures. Each of the one or more process cycles includes performing an etching process on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer for a first duration and performing a magnetic treatment on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer for a second duration.

  • Publication number: 20240162833
    Abstract: A power supply unit supplies power to a load, and the power supply unit includes a power factor corrector, a DC conversion module, and an isolated conversion module. The power factor corrector is plugged into a first main circuit board and converts an AC power into a DC power. The DC conversion module is plugged into the first main circuit board and converts the DC power into a main power. The isolated conversion module includes a bus capacitor, the bus capacitor is coupled to the DC conversion module through a first power copper bar, and coupled to the power factor corrector through a second power copper bar. The first power copper bar and the second power copper bar are arranged on a side opposite to the first main circuit board, and are arranged in parallel with the first main circuit board.

  • Patent number: 11974479
    Abstract: An electrical connection structure is provided. The electrical connection structure includes a through hole, a first pad, a second pad and a conductive bridge. The through hole has a first end and a second end. The first pad at least partially surrounds the first end of the through hole and is electrically connected to a first circuit. The second pad is located at the second end of the through hole and is electrically connected to a second circuit. The conductive bridge is connected to the first pad and second pad through the through hole, thereby making the first and second circuits electrically connected to each other.

  • Publication number: 20240118199
    Abstract: An optical analysis system and an optical analysis method, which simply change driving electric currents of light-emitting units via using a control and process unit, so that a wavelength range and a peak wavelength of an irradiated light generated by each light-emitting unit may be fine-tuned. A plurality of irradiating lights with different wavelength ranges and peak wavelengths are irradiated to the object to be tested in different times, so that merely fewer light-emitting units may be used to improve a detection resolution and a detection accuracy of a spectrum of the object to be tested.

  • Publication number: 20240113112
    Abstract: Methods of cutting gate structures and fins, and structures formed thereby, are described. In an embodiment, a substrate includes first and second fins and an isolation region. The first and second fins extend longitudinally parallel, with the isolation region disposed therebetween. A gate structure includes a conformal gate dielectric over the first fin and a gate electrode over the conformal gate dielectric. A first insulating fill structure abuts the gate structure and extends vertically from a level of an upper surface of the gate structure to at least a surface of the isolation region. No portion of the conformal gate dielectric extends vertically between the first insulating fill structure and the gate electrode. A second insulating fill structure abuts the first insulating fill structure and an end sidewall of the second fin. The first insulating fill structure is disposed laterally between the gate structure and the second insulating fill structure.
