  • Publication number: 20240071833
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device with a hybrid fin-dielectric region. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a source region and a drain region laterally separated by a hybrid fin-dielectric (HFD) region. A gate electrode is disposed above the HFD region and the HFD region includes a plurality of fins covered by a dielectric and separated from the source region and the drain region by the dielectric.

  • Patent number: 8971040
    Abstract: A handheld device includes a body and a back cover. The body has a back portion covered by the back cover. The back cover includes a yielding layer and a rigid layer. The yielding layer has an outer surface and an inner surface opposite to each other. The inner surface faces the back portion. The rigid layer is formed on the inner surface and locked to the body. The rigid layer has a hole exposing the back portion and covered by the yielding layer. When a portion of the yielding layer corresponding to the hole is pressed, the portion of the yielding layer is elastically deformed to closely lean on the back portion, and the locked body and rigid layer are released due to a force between the portion of the yielding layer and the back portion, such that the back cover may depart from the body.

  • Patent number: 8700826
    Abstract: A super I/O module for controlling at least one I/O port of a computer system is provided. The super I/O module includes a controller, a signal detector and a selector. The controller supports functions corresponding to the I/O port. The signal detector receives an input signal from the I/O port, and detects whether the input signal has an identification code. When detecting that the input signal has the identification code, the signal detector generates a selection signal according to the identification code. The selector receives the selection signal and selectively provides the input signal to the controller or a function circuit of the computer system according to the selection signal.
