  • Publication number: 20120211257
    Abstract: A pyramid bump structure for electrically coupling to a bond pad on a carrier comprises a conductive block disposed at the bond pad and an oblique pyramid insulation layer covered at one side of the conductive block. The oblique pyramid insulation layer comprises a bottom portion and a top portion, and outer diameter of the oblique pyramid insulation layer is tapered from the bottom portion to the top portion. When the carrier is connected with a substrate and an anisotropic conductive film disposed at the substrate, the pyramid bump structure may rapidly embed into the anisotropic conductive film to raise the flow rate of the anisotropic conductive film. Further, a short phenomenon between adjacent bumps can be avoided to raise the yield rate of package process.

  • Publication number: 20100232079
    Abstract: A small area IO circuit is provided. The IO circuit has one or more parallel circuit unit(s) and an ESD protector set between a core circuit/pre-driver and an IO pad. Each circuit unit includes an off-chip driver and an output resistor, wherein the ESD protector protects ESD event occurred at the IO pad, and the resistor in each circuit unit acts as an ESD block circuit to block ESD current from corresponding off-chip driver. Therefore, transistors in each off-chip driver do not have to be restricted by strict ESD design rules, such that at least a transistor of the off-chip driver(s) is implemented in a single finger layout to lower equivalent capacitance of the off-chip driver(s), and layout areas of the off-chip driver(s) as well as the whole IO circuit can be reduced to achieve a small area IO circuit.
