  • Publication number: 20240115837
    Abstract: A delivery guidewire (100), comprising: a core wire (110) comprising a first segment (111), a second segment (112) and a third segment (113), which are arranged in sequence and have diameters decreasing in the direction from a distal end to a proximal end of the delivery guidewire (100); a metal ring (130) at least partially disposed at a proximal end of the first segment (111); and a spring (120) at least partially disposed over the outer side of the second segment (112). A distal end of the spring (120) abuts against a proximal end of the metal ring (130), and a distal section of the spring (120) has a diameter smaller than a diameter of a proximal section thereof. The diameter of the distal section of the spring (120) that is smaller than the diameter of the proximal section of the spring (120) results in a smaller clearance between the distal section of the spring (120) and the core wire (110), which enables greater concentricity of the distal section of the spring (120) with the core wire (110).

  • Publication number: 20240105644
    Abstract: A semiconductor die package includes a high dielectric constant (high-k) dielectric layer over a device region of a first semiconductor die that is bonded with a second semiconductor die in a wafer on wafer (WoW) configuration. A through silicon via (TSV) structure may be formed through the device region. The high-k dielectric layer has an intrinsic negative charge polarity that provides a coupling voltage to modify the electric potential in the device region. In particular, the electron carriers in high-k dielectric layer attracts hole charge carriers in device region, which suppresses trap-assist tunnels that result from surface defects formed during etching of the recess for the TSV structure. Accordingly, the high-k dielectric layer described herein reduces the likelihood of (and/or the magnitude of) current leakage in semiconductor devices that are included in the device region of the first semiconductor die.
