An intermediate transfer member that is fully coated with a self crosslinked acrylic resin. The cartridge-supporting unit supports a plurality of process cartridges. The layered product is then fired to obtain a sintered ceramic compact body. The profiling phase and optimizing phase are repeated over a period of time as appropriate to improve the package’s performance without requiring a user to make adjustments to the tasks in the package. The method involves providing a substrate; forming a gate structure over the substrate; forming an epitaxial layer in a source and drain region of the substrate that is interposed by the gate structure; and after forming the epitaxial layer, forming a lightly doped source and drain feature in the source and drain region.
