Abstract: A semiconductor structure and a method of fabricating therefor are disclosed. A second contact pad (500) is arranged lateral to a first contact pad (420) in an interconnect structure (400). As a result, during fabrication of the interconnect structure (400), the first contact pad (420) will not be present alone in a large bland area, due to the presence of the second contact pad (500). Thus, a pattern feature for the first contact pad (420) will not be over-resolved, increasing formation accuracy of the first contact pad (420) and thus guaranteeing good electrical transmission performance of the resulting interconnect structure (400).

Abstract: An electronic device including a hinge module, a first body, a second body, and a flexible display assembled to the first body and the second body is provided. Each of the first body and the second body is pivoted and slidably connected to the hinge module, and a cover of the hinge module is exposed out of the first body and the second body. The first body and the second body are rotated relatively via the hinge module to bend or flatten the flexible display, when the flexible display is bending from a flat state, a bending portion of the flexible display leans against the cover and pushes the cover away from the first body and the second body.
