  • Patent number: 11972981
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device having a substantially undoped channel region includes forming a plurality of fins extending from a substrate. In various embodiments, each of the plurality of fins includes a portion of a substrate, a portion of a first epitaxial layer on the portion of the substrate, and a portion of a second epitaxial layer on the portion of the first epitaxial layer. The portion of the first epitaxial layer of each of the plurality of fins is oxidized, and a liner layer is formed over each of the plurality of fins. Recessed isolation regions are then formed adjacent to the liner layer. The liner layer may then be etched to expose a residual material portion (e.g., Ge residue) adjacent to a bottom surface of the portion of the second epitaxial layer of each of the plurality of fins, and the residual material portion is removed.

  • Publication number: 20240088307
    Abstract: A semiconductor package is provided. The semiconductor package includes a heat dissipation substrate including a first conductive through-via embedded therein; a sensor die disposed on the heat dissipation substrate; an insulating encapsulant laterally encapsulating the sensor die; a second conductive through-via penetrating through the insulating encapsulant; and a first redistribution structure and a second redistribution structure disposed on opposite sides of the heat dissipation substrate. The second conductive through-via is in contact with the first conductive through-via. The sensor die is located between the second redistribution structure and the heat dissipation substrate. The second redistribution structure has a window allowing a sensing region of the sensor die receiving light. The first redistribution structure is electrically connected to the sensor die through the first conductive through-via, the second conductive through-via and the second redistribution structure.

  • Patent number: 8330923
    Abstract: A multi-domain liquid crystal display (LCD) includes multiple effective pixel electrodes, dummy pixel electrodes and auxiliary electrodes. The effective pixel electrodes are regularly arranged in an array of row and column, and the array of effective pixel electrodes constitute an active display area of the multi-domain LCD. The dummy pixel electrodes are provided outside the active display area and arranged at least on the side of an outermost row or outermost column of the array of effective pixel electrodes. Each auxiliary electrode is positioned next to one side of an effective pixel electrode or a dummy pixel electrode to produce fringe fields and is connected to another effective pixel electrode controlled by a preceding or a succeeding signal line to allow all effective pixel electrodes to have substantially the same coupling capacitance.
