Application number: 63/310,478

Abstract:
–

Publication date: –
Applicant: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.
Inventors: Chia Chun Wu

Publication number: US20220108984A1
Application number: 17/554,811

Abstract:
A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a first gate-all-around (GAA) transistor and a second GAA transistor. The first GAA transistor includes a first plurality of channel members, a first interfacial layer over the first plurality of channel members, a first hafnium-containing dielectric layer over the first interfacial layer, and a metal gate electrode layer over the first hafnium-containing dielectric layer. The second GAA transistor includes a second plurality of channel members, a second interfacial layer over the second plurality of channel members, a second hafnium-containing dielectric layer over the second interfacial layer, and the metal gate electrode layer over the second hafnium-containing dielectric layer. A first thickness of the first interfacial layer is greater than a second thickness of the second interfacial layer. A third thickness of the first hafnium-containing dielectric layer is smaller than a fourth thickness of the second hafnium-containing dielectric layer.

Publication number: US20220107694A1
Application number: 17/554,503

Abstract:
Converter and conversion method for converting a click position of a flat panel display into a light pen simulated signal for a semiconductor manufacturing machine are provided. A converter includes a first connector, a second connector, and a controller coupled between the first connector and the second connector. The first connector is configured to obtain the click position from the flat panel display. The second connector is configured to provide the light pen simulated signal to the semiconductor manufacturing machine according to a synchronization signal from the semiconductor manufacturing machine. The controller is configured to generate the light pen simulated signal according to the click position and a mapping table of a first display resolution of the flat panel display and a second display resolution of the semiconductor manufacturing machine. The first display resolution is higher than the second display resolution.
