A touch panel includes a touch sensor, a liquid crystal panel, and a reverse circuit. The reverse circuit receives common voltage ripples of the liquid crystal panel, and outputs reversed common voltage ripples after reversing the common voltage ripples. After the touch sensor receives the reversed common voltage ripples, the touch sensor outputs a sensing signal according to the reversed common voltage ripples.

A foot plate device is connected to a prosthetic lower leg of an artificial foot, and includes a flexible foot plate. The foot plate has a front plate section, an inclined intermediate plate section extending rearwardly and upwardly from a rear end of the front plate section, and a rear plate section extending rearwardly from a rear end of the intermediate plate section and generally parallel to the front plate section. The front plate section has at least one open-ended slot formed vertically therethrough and extending across the front plate section along a longitudinal direction of the foot plate, so as to divide the front plate section into two force-receiving plate portions. The rear plate section is connected with the prosthetic lower leg.

A semiconductor structure prevents energy that is used to blow a fuse from causing damage. The semiconductor structure includes a device, guard ring, and at least one protection layer. The device is constructed on the semiconductor substrate underneath the fuse. The seal ring, which surrounds the fuse, is constructed on at least one metal layer between the device and the fuse for confining the energy therein. The protection layer is formed within the seal ring, on at least one metal layer between the device and the fuse for shielding the device from being directly exposed to the energy.

The present invention relates to a pull-down control circuit and a shift register of using same. In one embodiment, the pull-down control circuit includes a release circuit and four transistors T4, T5, T6 and T7 electrically coupled to each other. The release circuit is adapted for causing the transistor T5 to be turned on and off alternately, thereby substantially reducing the stress thereon, improving the reliability and prolonging the lifetime of the shift register.

In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for inserting dummy patterns in sparsely populated portions of a metal layer. The dummy pattern counters the effects of variations of pattern density in a semiconductor layout which can cause uneven post-polish film thickness. An algorithm according to one embodiment of the disclosure determines the size and location of the dummy patterns based on the patterns in the metal layer by first surrounding the metal structure with small dummy pattern and then filling any remaining voids with large dummy patterns.

Methods for forming openings in damascene structures, such as dual damascene structures are provided, using plug materials having varied etching rates. In one embodiment, a semiconductor substrate is provided with a low-k material layer formed thereabove, the low-k material layer having an upper surface and at least one via opening formed therethrough. A first plug material layer is formed over the low-k material layer and filled in the via opening, the first plug material layer having a first etching rate. The first plug material layer is etched back to form a first plug partially filling the via opening. A second plug material layer is formed over the low-k material layer and the first plug. The second plug material layer is etched back to form a second plug partially below the upper surface of the low-k material layer, the second plug material layer having a second etching rate higher than the first etching rate.
