A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a waveguide over a substrate. The semiconductor device includes a first dielectric structure over the substrate, wherein a portion of the waveguide is in the first dielectric structure. The semiconductor device includes a second dielectric structure under the waveguide, wherein a first sidewall of the second dielectric structure is adjacent a first sidewall of the substrate.

Semiconductor device and method of making

An optical film includes a plurality of alternating first and second polymeric layers, such that the first polymeric layers have a smaller average in-plane index of refraction than the second polymeric layers and the first polymeric layers have a glass transition temperature of at least 107 deg. C. The optical film may be a reflective polarizer. An optical stack includes a linear absorbing polarizer and the reflective polarizer disposed on, and bonded to, the absorbing polarizer. The reflective polarizer has an optical reflectance of at least 60% for a first polarization state and an optical transmittance of at least 60% for an orthogonal second polarization state. When heated at 105 deg. C. for 15 minutes, a difference in shrinkage of the reflective polarizer and the absorbing polarizer along the first and second polarization states is greater than about zero and 0.2%, respectively.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a trench capacitor with a trench pattern for yield improvement. The trench capacitor is on a substrate and comprises a plurality of capacitor segments. The capacitor segments extend into the substrate according to the trench pattern and are spaced with a pitch on an axis. The plurality of capacitor segments comprises an edge capacitor segment at an edge of the trench capacitor and a center capacitor segment at a center of the trench capacitor. The edge capacitor segment has a greater width than the center capacitor segment and/or the pitch is greater at the edge capacitor segment than at the center capacitor segment. The greater width may facilitate stress absorption and the greater pitch may increase substrate rigidity at the edge of the trench capacitor where thermal expansion stress is greatest, thereby reducing substrate bending and trench burnout for yield improvements.

An example electronic device includes a controller to determine a user touch detection by a power adaptor coupled to the electronic device to operate the electronic device in an AC power mode. The power adaptor may comprise a proximity sensor to detect a user touch for detachment of the power adaptor from the electronic device, and a control circuit to operate a configuration pin in a low output mode to signal user touch detection. The controller may initiate central processing unit (CPU) throttling to reduce power consumption by the electronic device. The controller may further stop CPU throttling in response to detecting that the power adaptor has been detached from the electronic device. Further, the controller may switch the electronic device to a DC power mode to operate using DC power supplied by a battery of the electronic device in response to power adaptor detachment.
