  • Publication number: 20240150906
    Abstract: An electrolytic cell includes a cation exchange membrane, a cathode compartment, and an anode compartment. The cathode compartment includes a gas diffusion electrode and a flow channel element, in which the flow channel element is between the cation exchange membrane and the gas diffusion electrode, and has a plurality of flow channels arranged in parallel with each other. The anode compartment includes an anode mesh, in which the cation exchange membrane is between the anode mesh and the flow channel element. A distance between the anode mesh and the gas diffusion electrode is substantially equal to the sum of a first thickness of the cation exchange membrane and a second thickness of the flow channel element. The novel electrolytic cell can combine with a chloralkali electrolytic cell to deal with gaseous CO2 and produce products, e.g., synthesis gas, for other purposes.

  • Patent number: 11978740
    Abstract: A layer stack including a first bonding dielectric material layer, a dielectric metal oxide layer, and a second bonding dielectric material layer is formed over a top surface of a substrate including a substrate semiconductor layer. A conductive material layer is formed by depositing a conductive material over the second bonding dielectric material layer. The substrate semiconductor layer is thinned by removing portions of the substrate semiconductor layer that are distal from the layer stack, whereby a remaining portion of the substrate semiconductor layer includes a top semiconductor layer. A semiconductor device may be formed on the top semiconductor layer.

  • Publication number: 20240145470
    Abstract: A method for processing an integrated circuit includes forming first and second gate all around transistors. The method forms a dipole oxide in the first gate all around transistor without forming the dipole oxide in the second gate all around transistor. This is accomplished by entirely removing an interfacial dielectric layer and a dipole-inducing layer from semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor before redepositing the interfacial dielectric layer on the semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor.

  • Publication number: 20240136346
    Abstract: A semiconductor die package includes an inductor-capacitor (LC) semiconductor die that is directly bonded with a logic semiconductor die. The LC semiconductor die includes inductors and capacitors that are integrated into a single die. The inductors and capacitors of the LC semiconductor die may be electrically connected with transistors and other logic components on the logic semiconductor die to form a voltage regulator circuit of the semiconductor die package. The integration of passive components (e.g., the inductors and capacitors) of the voltage regulator circuit into a single semiconductor die reduces signal propagation distances in the voltage regulator circuit, which may increase the operating efficiency of the voltage regulator circuit, may reduce the formfactor for the semiconductor die package, may reduce parasitic capacitance and/or may reduce parasitic inductance in the voltage regulator circuit (thereby improving the performance of the voltage regulator circuit), among other examples.
