Abstract: A method includes forming a material layer over a substrate, forming a first hard mask (HM) layer over the material layer, forming a first trench, along a first direction, in the first HM layer. The method also includes forming first spacers along sidewalls of the first trench, forming a second trench in the first HM layer parallel to the first trench, by using the first spacers to guard the first trench. The method also includes etching the material layer through the first trench and the second trench, removing the first HM layer and the first spacers, forming a second HM layer over the material layer, forming a third trench in the second HM layer. The third trench extends along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and overlaps with the first trench. The method also includes etching the material layer through the third trench.

Abstract: A sense amplifier circuit includes a sense amplifier, a switch and a temperature compensation circuit. The temperature compensation circuit provides a control signal having a positive temperature coefficient, based on which the switch provides reference impedance for temperature compensation. The sense amplifier includes a first input end coupled to a target bit and a second input end coupled to the switch. The sense amplifier outputs a sense amplifier signal based on the reference impedance and the impedance of the target bit.

Abstract: A thermal cycler device is provided, including an annular conveying element having a circular conveying path, a plurality of slide plate device holding elements, a plurality of heating blocks, a pressing element and a cooling device. The annular conveying element operates in stages, such that the slide plate device holding elements move along the circular conveying path while carrying a plurality of slide plate devices. When each slide plate device holding element moves to the corresponding heating block, the annular conveying element stops operating and the pressing element performs the pressing process, such that each slide plate device contacts the corresponding heating block for heat transfer.

Abstract: Field color sequential (FCS) control system applied for an FCS display device is provided. The FCS control system includes an input system, a memory and an output system. The input system, including a plurality of buffers respectively corresponding to different color channels, receives different color channel components of pixels in parallel such that components of a same color channel are stored in a same buffer. The memory, including a plurality of partitions respectively corresponding to different color channels, stores components of a same color channel to a same partition in association with triggering of rising and falling edges of a clock, respectively. The output system sequentially buffers and outputs color channel components of corresponding partitions.

Abstract: An electronic system including a display device, a microcontroller unit (MCU), and a display driver is disclosed. The MCU controls the operations of the electronic system. The display driver drives the display device according to the control of the MCU. The MCU and the display driver are interconnected by a mode selection line, a reference clock line, and a data transmission line set. The MCU informs the display driver of a current transmission mode through the mode selection line and transmits a reference clock to the display driver through the reference clock line. The MCU and the display driver synchronize data transmitted through the data transmission line set according to the reference clock.
