    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor active region having a vertical stack of multiple spaced-apart semiconductor channel regions thereon. A gate electrode extends on the active region and between the spaced-apart channel regions. A source/drain region contacts the spaced-apart channel regions. The source/drain region includes a stack of at least first, second and third epitaxial layers having different electrical characteristics. The first epitaxial layer contacts the active region and each of the spaced-apart channel regions. The second epitaxial layer contacts a first portion of an upper surface of the first epitaxial layer. The third epitaxial layer contacts a second portion of the upper surface of the first epitaxial layer. Each of the first, second and third epitaxial layers includes silicon germanium (SiGe) with unequal levels of germanium (Ge) therein. A level of germanium in the third epitaxial layer exceeds a level of germanium in the second epitaxial layer, which exceeds a level of germanium in the first epitaxial layer.

    摘要: A scroll compressor includes a main body, a cover to divide the main body into a low pressure section and a high pressure section, a fixed scroll including a first discharge port, an orbiting scroll to rotate with respect to the fixed scroll and to form a compression chamber together with the fixed scroll, a discharge guide disposed between the fixed scroll and the cover and including a second discharge port connected to the first discharge port, and a back pressure actuator configured to form a back pressure chamber together with the discharge guide and to move in a direction toward the cover with respect to the discharge guide to selectively connect the second discharge port with the high pressure section. The fixed scroll includes a bypass flow path connecting the compression chamber and the second discharge port and a bypass valve to open or close the bypass flow path.
