  • Publication number: 20240071776
    Abstract: A chip packaging structure and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The chip package structure includes a conductive substrate, a dam and a metal shielding layer. The conductive substrate includes a substrate, vias and electrodes. The substrate has first and second board surfaces opposite to each other. The vias penetrate through the first board surface and the second board surface, and a part of the vias is disposed in a first die-bonding region on which a chip is to be arranged. The electrodes extend from the first board surface to the second board surface through the vias. The dam is formed on the first board surface to surround the first die-bonding region, and the dam has a height higher than that of the chip. The metal shielding layer covers the dam and a part of the first board surface that do not overlap with the electrodes.

  • Patent number: 11557444
    Abstract: Key switches of the inventive subject matter are designed to give users the tactile feel of key switches from expensive mechanical keyboards without drawback typically associated with alternative key switches. In some embodiments, key switches described in this application are designed to function with a sheet of membrane switches, while in other embodiments, key switches of the inventive subject matter incorporate optical switching in place of membrane switching. Embodiments for use with membrane switching feature a plunger and rocker combination that prevents the pressure from a user's key press from being directly transferred to a membrane switch, thereby reducing wear and tear. In optical switching embodiments, pressing the key switch causes an actuator, e.g., come between an optical emitter/receiver pair to register a key press.
