  • Publication number: 20240088297
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a Fin FET, a fin structure extending in a first direction is formed over a substrate. An isolation insulating layer is formed over the substrate so that an upper portion of the fin structure is exposed from the isolation insulating layer. A gate structure extending in a second direction crossing the first direction is formed over a part of the fin structure. A fin mask layer is formed on sidewalls of a source/drain region of the fin structure. The source/drain region of the fin structure is recessed. An epitaxial source/drain structure is formed over the recessed fin structure. In the recessing the source/drain region of the fin structure, a plasma process combining etching and deposition processes is used to form a recess having a rounded corner shape in a cross section along the second direction.

  • Patent number: 11705462
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a substrate, multiple transversal signal lines, a first vertical signal line, a second vertical signal line, a shielding wire, and multiple pixel structures. The first vertical signal line is intersected with the transversal signal lines. The second vertical signal line is intersected with the transversal signal lines and connected to one of the transversal signal lines. An orthogonal projection of the shielding wire on the substrate is located between an orthogonal projection of the first vertical signal line and an orthogonal projection of the second vertical signal line on the substrate. One of the pixel structures is surrounded by a corresponding one of the transversal signal lines and the second vertical signal line and includes an active device. A gate and a source of the active device is electrically connected to the corresponding one transversal signal line and the first vertical signal line respectively.

  • Patent number: 6009928
    Abstract: A multiple-style complex window of two uses includes a casing, a push-out window, a slide window and a screen fixed in said casing. The push-out window may be pushed out, and the slide window and the screen may be pushed sidewise to an inside or behind the push-out window. A middle post is provided to separate the push-out window from the slide window and the screen. The push-out window, the slide window and the screen are positioned orderly from the outside to the inside so that the latter two may be slid to behind the push-out window.
