  • Publication number: 20230178366
    Abstract: The present application provides a semiconductor substrate and a preparation process thereof. In the present application, the polysilicon layer includes the first polysilicon layer and the second polysilicon layer formed separately to generate the less stress, the more random grain orientation and the smaller grain size, maintain the high grain boundary density, and enhance the charge capture. By the combination of different deposition temperature and the combination of two cooling steps after each isothermal annealing treatment, the rate of contraction between the first polysilicon layer and the second polysilicon layer and the initial semiconductor substrate is decreased, and the thermal mismatch of semiconductor substrate is reduced. The stretch between the polysilicon layer and the initial semiconductor substrate can be reduced to prevent the warpage of the semiconductor substrate. Thereby, the stress generated during the growth process of the polysilicon layer can be further reduced.

  • Patent number: 11644513
    Abstract: A Battery Management System (BMS) inspects a battery pack using AC impedance. A controller on the BMS drives a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) output signal to an on-board excitation regulator such as a synchronous buck converter that modulates a limited energy unit such as a capacitor with a swept frequency of a PWM input signal. The capacitor modulations are applied to a terminal of the battery pack as an AC excitation signal. Synchronous sampling of the battery pack provides responses to the AC excitation signal. An AC excitation signal current and a battery response voltage are processed and Fourier-transformed to generate a Nyquist plot of the excitation-response data. Curve shifts can indicate worn battery cells. The capacitor generating the AC excitation signal draws little energy from the battery pack so AC impedance inspection can occur during all modes: charging, discharging, and idle modes without an external power supply.
