  • Publication number: 20240194534
    Abstract: Metal gate cutting techniques for fin-like field effect transistors (FinFETs) are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes receiving an integrated circuit (IC) device structure that includes a substrate, one or more fins disposed over the substrate, a plurality of gate structures disposed over the fins, a dielectric layer disposed between and adjacent to the gate structures, and a patterning layer disposed over the gate structures. The gate structures traverses the fins and includes first and second gate structures. The method further includes: forming an opening in the patterning layer to expose a portion of the first gate structure, a portion of the second gate structure, and a portion of the dielectric layer; and removing the exposed portion of the first gate structure, the exposed portion of the second gate structure, and the exposed portion of the dielectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20240121920
    Abstract: A terminal device and a terminal device installation method are provided. The terminal device includes a machine body, a detachable cover with two side walls, and at least two coupling mechanisms arranged symmetrically. The machine body includes a front board, a rear board opposite to the front board, and two side boards connected between the front board and the rear board. Each coupling mechanism includes a coupling portion located at one side wall, a front track and a rear track respectively having a front opening and a rear opening opposite to the front opening and both located at one side board. As each coupling portion is coupled to each front track, the cover is assembled with the machine body and covers the front board, and as each coupling portion is coupled with each rear track, the cover is assembled to the machine body and covers the rear board.

  • Publication number: 20170132235
    Abstract: A web content extraction system includes a web structure analyzing module, a metadata determining module, a web correlation generating module and a storage path routing module. The web structure analyzing module is configured to divide a web content of a first web into a plurality of metadata and a plurality of ordinary data. The metadata determining module is configured to divide the plurality of metadata into a plurality of target metadata and a plurality of non-target metadata. The plurality of target metadata is corresponding to a second web. The web correlation generating module is configured to generate a correlation level information between the first web and the second web. The storage path routing module is configured to route a web content of the second web to a first storage path or a second storage path and route the ordinary data to the first storage path.

  • Publication number: 20170126613
    Abstract: An instant information exchange system and method for online sports teams is to include a cloud server having a sports information exchange platform connected with electronic devices via Internet to perform information exchange. The system accepts a user to create sports teams in the sports information exchange platform via the electronic devices and customize sports events and rules to provide a competition mode for the members to perform competition event with teamwork mechanism. The system will receive a physiological value transmitted by the electronic device to be a score as reference. The sports team created by the user can achieve a goal through teamwork and team competition at different time and different locations. The user's sports team can reduce the invitation and waiting time when different sports teams are performing the competition to achieve the exercise purpose and the exercise efficiency.
