Publication number: 20250098194Abstract: Continuous polysilicon on oxide diffusion edge (CPODE) processes are described herein in which one or more semiconductor device parameters are tuned to reduce the likelihood of etching of source/drain regions on opposing sides of CPODE structures formed in a semiconductor device, to reduce the likelihood of depth loading in the semiconductor device, and/or to reduce the likelihood of gate deformation in the semiconductor device, among other examples. Thus, the CPODE processes described herein may reduce the likelihood of epitaxial damage to the source/drain regions, may reduce current leakage between the source/drain regions, and/or may reduce the likelihood of threshold voltage shifting for transistors of the semiconductor device. The reduced likelihood of threshold voltage shifting may provide more uniform and/or faster switching speeds for the transistors, more uniform and/or lower power consumption for the transistors, and/or increased device performance for the transistors, among other examples.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Tzu-Ging LIN, Ya-Yi TSAI, Yun-Chen WU, Shu-Yuan KU

Patent number: 8277075Abstract: An illumination device includes a reflection disk, a positioning frame, a solar cell module, an illumination member and a driving device. The positioning frame is located at the focus of the curved reflection surface of the reflection disk. The solar cell module and the illumination member are respectively connected to the front and back of the positioning frame. The driving device is used to drive the positioning frame to rotate relative to the reflection disk. When the solar cell faces the curved reflection surface, the solar cell absorbs the reflected sun light to generate electric power. When the illumination member faces the curved reflection surface, light emitted from the illumination member is reflected by the curved reflection surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2010Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Inventors: Binjih Lin, Alan Yun-Chen Tsai, Yuan Tseh Lin, Hsiue-Cheng Lin
