  • Patent number: 11972974
    Abstract: An IC structure includes a transistor, a source/drain contact, a metal oxide layer, a non-metal oxide layer, a barrier structure, and a via. The transistor includes a gate structure and source/drain regions on opposite sides of the gate structure. The source/drain contact is over one of the source/drain regions. The metal oxide layer is over the source/drain contact. The non-metal oxide layer is over the metal oxide layer. The barrier structure is over the source/drain contact. The barrier structure forms a first interface with the metal oxide layer and a second interface with the non-metal oxide layer, and the second interface is laterally offset from the first interface. The via extends through the non-metal oxide layer to the barrier structure.

  • Patent number: 11959695
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid cooling system with water quality monitoring, which comprises a first inlet, a first outlet, a heat exchange unit, a sensing unit, and a control unit connected to the sensing unit and a first pump. The heat exchange unit has a heat exchanger connected to the first inlet and the first pump connected to the first outlet and the heat exchanger. The first pump is used to drive a first working liquid after heat exchange in the heat exchanger. The sensing unit senses a pH value of a first working liquid to generate a sense signal. The control unit compares the sense signal with a preset pH range to generate a compared result which is sent to an external interface. By means of the design of the present invention, the pH value of water can be monitored.

  • Patent number: 11934213
    Abstract: A liquid-cooling device includes multiple water blocks and at least one connection tube. Each of the water blocks has a water incoming end, a water outgoing end and a water-receiving space in communication with the water incoming end and the water outgoing end. The connection tube is disposed between each two water blocks. Two ends of the connection tube are respectively connected with the water incoming end of one of the two water blocks and the water outgoing end of the other water block, whereby the water-receiving spaces of the two water blocks communicate with each other via the connection tube. The connection tube has at least one bellows section between two ends of the connection tube. The liquid-cooling device solves the problems of the conventional liquid-cooling device that when the water block is welded, thermal deformation is produced to cause tolerance and the manufacturing cost is higher.

  • Publication number: 20220316817
    Abstract: A liquid-cooling heat dissipation structure includes a substrate and a cover body mated with the substrate to define a heat exchange chamber therebetween. A radiating fin unit and a stop section are disposed in the heat exchange chamber. The stop section serves to first divide a cooling liquid entering the heat exchange chamber, whereby the cooling liquid first flows through the periphery of the radiating fin unit and then flow into the middle of the radiating fin unit so that the cooling liquid is prevented from straightly passing through the radiating fin unit. Multiple cooperative flow-stopping protrusions are disposed in the periphery of the radiating fin unit to help the cooling liquid to uniformly flow through the radiating fin unit. By means of the structural design of the liquid-cooling heat dissipation structure, the heat exchange efficiency is greatly enhanced.
