  • Patent number: 11087670
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a flexible display such as an organic light-emitting diode display. A strain sensing resistor may be formed on a bent tail portion of the flexible display to gather strain measurements. Resistance measurement circuitry in a display driver integrated circuit may make resistance measurements on the strain sensing resistor and a temperature compensation resistor to measure strain. A crack detection line may be formed from an elongated pair of traces that are coupled at their ends to form a loop. The crack detection line may run along a peripheral edge of the flexible display. Crack detection circuitry may monitor the resistance of the crack detection line to detect cracks. The crack detection circuitry may include switches that adjust the length of the crack detection line and thereby allow resistances to be measured for different segments of the line.

  • Patent number: 11075265
    Abstract: After forming a laterally contacting pair of a semiconductor fin and a conductive strap structure overlying a deep trench capacitor embedded in a substrate and forming a gate stack straddling a body region of the semiconductor fin, source/drain regions are formed in portions the semiconductor fin located on opposite sides of the gate stack by ion implantation. Next, a metal layer is applied over the source/drain region and subsequent annealing consumes entire source/drain regions to provide fully alloyed source/drain regions. A post alloyzation ion implantation is then performed to introduce dopants into the fully alloyed source/drain regions followed by an anneal to segregate the implanted dopants at interfaces between the fully alloyed source/drain regions and the body region of the semiconductor fin.
