  • Semiconductor device and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 12230534
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a conductive line and a conductive via contacting the conductive line. A first dielectric material contacts a first sidewall surface of the conductive via. A second dielectric material contacts a second sidewall surface of the conductive via. The first dielectric material includes a first material composition, and the second dielectric material includes a second material composition different than the first material composition.

  • Master electronic device and communication method of the same
    Patent number: 9904340
    Abstract: A master electronic device used to perform communication with a slave electronic device is provided. The master electronic device includes a power module, an input and output (I/O) module, a processing module, a sample and hold module and a control module. The power module outputs power having a default operation voltage. The I/O module operates according to the power having the default operation voltage. The processing module controls the I/O module to generate and transmit a command signal to the slave electronic device. The sample and hold module receives and samples a response signal from the slave electronic device. The control module determines a slave operation voltage according to a high state voltage level of the response signal, so as to further control the power module to generate power having the slave operation voltage such that the I/O module operates accordingly.
