Abstract: Some embodiments relate an integrated circuit (IC) including a first substrate. An interconnect structure is disposed over the first substrate. The interconnect structure includes a plurality of metal features that are stacked over one another. A lowermost metal feature of the plurality of metal features is closest to the first substrate, an uppermost metal feature of the plurality of metal features is furthest from the first substrate, and intermediate metal features are disposed between the lowermost metal feature and the uppermost metal feature. A recess extends into the interconnect structure and terminates at a bond pad. A lower surface of the bond pad directly contacts an upper surface of the lowermost metal feature.

Abstract: A stacked integrated circuit (IC) device and a method are disclosed. The stacked IC device includes a first semiconductor element. The first substrate includes a dielectric block in the first substrate; and a plurality of first conductive features formed in first inter-metal dielectric layers over the first substrate. The stacked IC device also includes a second semiconductor element bonded on the first semiconductor element. The second semiconductor element includes a second substrate and a plurality of second conductive features formed in second inter-metal dielectric layers over the second substrate. The stacked IC device also includes a conductive deep-interconnection-plug coupled between the first conductive features and the second conductive features. The conductive deep-interconnection-plug is isolated by dielectric block, the first inter-metal-dielectric layers and the second inter-metal-dielectric layers.

Abstract: The invention provides a touch screen display with on-screen display (OSD) function and OSD control method thereof. In particular, the touch screen display according to the invention utilizes a touch screen thereof to assist in controlling launch, close and various adjust of the OSD function. Thereby, the touch screen display according to the invention doesn't need any more buttons and encoders utilized in prior arts to control OSD function.
