Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a single-layered dielectric layer, a conductive line, a conductive via and a conductive pad. The conductive line and the conductive via are disposed in the single-layered dielectric layer. The conductive pad is extended into the single-layered dielectric layer to electrically connected to the conductive line.

Abstract: A hinge device is used in a portable computer having a main computer housing and a display panel with different size specifications. The hinge device includes a pivot retainer, a mounting block, and a pair of screw members. The mounting block is secured on the main computer housing at a line that forms a distance with the rotary axis of the pivot retainer, the distance corresponding to the difference in the size specifications of the main computer housing and the display panel to prevent interference when moving the display panel between open and closed positions relative to the main computer housing.
