  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20060198424
    Abstract: A probe structure for an ear thermometer includes a housing, a sleeve component, a sensor unit and a holding component. The housing has a first containing room to contain the sleeve component having a second containing room. The sleeve component has a front end formed with a reflective surface. The sensor unit is placed inside the second containing room and has a window, via which the sensor unit detects heat radiation. The sleeve component is used to lower heat radiation impact upon the sensor unit and prevent inexact measurements by the sensor unit caused by detecting objects other than the measured object. The sleeve component helps to reflect heat radiation from the measured object to the infrared sensor. This sensor unit functions well even though it is not disposed at the front most end of the probe. The holding component has one end against the bottom of the sensor unit.
