  • Patent number: 11538718
    Abstract: Process for producing semiconductor devices in a substrate, comprising: photolithography of a pattern of a reticle onto a portion of the substrate, defining first elements of the semiconductor devices, an exposure of the pattern being repeated a plurality of times in order to define all of the devices, photolithography of a pattern of an etch mask over all of the substrate, etching photolithography patterns into one portion of the thickness of the substrate, wherein first dicing lanes encircling the devices are included in the pattern of the etch mask and/or of the reticle, and the photolithography of the etch mask defines second dicing lanes defined by predetermined fracture lines of the edges of the substrate, and furthermore comprising the implementation of a step of irradiating the substrate with a laser beam through the first and second dicing lanes.

  • Patent number: 10962367
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for suspension of a mobile mass, such as an inertial angular sensor, including a connection device including first and second connection elements connected to each other through a connection block and deformable in bending in a mobility plane so as to enable displacements relative to the connection block, of the mobile mass connected to the first connection element, and of another element of the system connected to the second connection element such as a support or another mobile mass respectively, along two distinct directions respectively. At least one of the connection elements is formed from two springs, connecting the connection block to the mobile mass or the other element of the system respectively. The connection element thus has improved linearity properties.
