Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes providing a substrate including a fin at a surface of the substrate, and forming a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET), which further includes forming a gate stack on the fin; forming a thin spacer on a sidewall of the gate stack; and epitaxially growing a epitaxy region starting from the fin. After the step of epitaxially growing the epitaxy region, a main spacer is formed on an outer edge of the thin spacer. After the step of forming the main spacer, a deep source/drain implantation is performed to form a deep source/drain region for the FinFET.
Abstract:
System and method for graphically allocating robot's working space are provided. The system includes an image extractor, a task-allocating server and a robot. A graphic user interface (GUI) of the task-allocating server includes a robot's working scene area, a space attribute allocating area and a robot's task area. Thus, a user assigns one certain space area in the robot's working scene area with a “wall” attribute, or another space area with a “charging station” attribute. Meanwhile, by using the GUI, the user directly assigns the robot to execute a specific task at a certain area. Hence, the user or remote controller facilitates the robot to provide safer and more effective service through his/her environment recognition.

Abstract:
A sheet-feeding apparatus having simple structure and capable of single-face/double-face scanning/printing sheets at high sheet-feeding efficiency. The sheet-feeding apparatus includes a sheet-feeding path in which sheets can pass through a scanning module and/or a printing module. The sheet-feeding path includes a first passage, a second passage communicating with the first passage and a subsidiary passage formed between the first and second passages. The sheets are selectively fed into and delivered through the first passage, the second passage or the subsidiary passage to be single-face/double-face scanned/printed.

Abstract:
A visual navigation system and method based on structured light are provided. The visual navigation system at least includes at least one projector for generating a specific path pattern formed by structured light, and a visual server. In addition to facilitating the visual navigation system to detect an obstacle, the pattern formed by the structured light provides a specific path pattern followed by robots during the navigation. In the visual navigation method, when detecting the obstacle, the visual server routes a virtual path and issues a movement-control command to the robots, which in turn follow the virtual path. The present invention is capable of raising the accuracy for the robot navigation and reducing operation burden of the visual server by using the structured light to guide the robots.
Abstract:
An office machine with both platform-type scanning mode and feeder-type scanning mode. The office machine includes a reciprocally movable scanning module arranged on upper side of the office machine for scanning documents placed on a platform. The office machine further includes a sheet-feeding path positioned under a bed. The sheet-feeding path has at least one position where the documents passing through the sheet-feeding path can be scanned by the scanning module.

Abstract:
A lifting device includes a driving unit, a moving tube, and a rolling unit. The driving unit includes an activating shaft having one end connected to an external object, a sleeve being fixed around the activating shaft and having axially extending flat surfaces, an activating cylinder connected to an opposite end of the activating shaft for driving the activating shaft to move with respect to the sleeve, and a controlling member connected to the activating cylinder for controlling the activating cylinder. The moving tube is mounted around the sleeve and connected to the external object. The movement of the activating shaft synchronously makes the moving tube move upward or downward. The rolling unit includes a plurality of rollers that are rotatably attached to the moving tube and maintain contacting the flat surfaces of the sleeve. Thereby, the lifting device lifts and lowers the external object stably.
Abstract:
An engineered epitaxial region compensates for short channel effects of a MOS device by providing a blocking layer to reduce or prevent dopant diffusion while at the same time reducing or eliminating the side effects of the blocking layer such as increased leakage current of a BJT device and/or decreased breakdown voltage of a rectifier. These side effects are reduced or eliminated by a non-conformal dopant-rich layer between the blocking layer and the substrate, which lessens the abruptness of the junction, thus lower the electric field at the junction region. Such a scheme is particularly advantageous for system on chip applications where it is desirable to manufacture MOS, BJT, and rectifier devices simultaneously with common process steps.
