  • Patent number: 12002774
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) comprising an enhanced passivation scheme for pad openings and trenches is provided. In some embodiments, an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer covers a substrate and at least partially defines a trench. The trench extends through the ILD layer from a top of the ILD layer to the substrate. A conductive pad overlies the ILD layer. A first passivation layer overlies the ILD layer and the conductive pad, and further defines a pad opening overlying the conductive pad. A second passivation layer overlies the ILD layer, the conductive pad, and the first passivation layer, and further lines sidewalls of the first passivation layer in the pad opening and sidewalls of the ILD layer in the trench. Further, the second passivation layer has a low permeability for moisture or vapor relative to the ILD layer.

  • Publication number: 20240157469
    Abstract: The present application provides a method for determining a stability of a welding equipment. The method includes acquiring initial welding images of the welding equipment; obtaining at least one welding spot position of each of at least one welded workpiece in each initial welding image by processing the initial welding images; determining a welding center position of each welded workpiece based on the at least one welding spot position of each welded workpiece, and obtaining welding center positions of all welded workpieces comprised in the initial welding images; and determining a stability of welding equipment based on the welding center positions of all welded workpieces. The method determines whether the welding equipment is stable by analyzing the welding images, thereby improving an accuracy of a detection of a stability of the welding equipment.
