  • Patent number: 11973050
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an integrated chip. The integrated chip includes an interconnect structure overlying a semiconductor substrate and comprising a conductive wire. A passivation structure overlies the interconnect structure. An upper conductive structure overlies the passivation structure and comprises a first conductive layer, a dielectric layer, and a second conductive layer. The first conductive layer is disposed between the dielectric layer and the passivation structure. The second conductive layer extends along a top surface of the dielectric layer and penetrates through the first conductive layer and the passivation structure to the conductive wire.

  • Publication number: 20240071813
    Abstract: A dielectric structure is formed over a layer than contains a conductive component. An opening is formed in the dielectric structure. The opening exposes an upper surface of the conductive component. A first deposition process is performed that deposits a first conductive layer over the dielectric structure and partially in the opening. A treatment process is performed on a first portion of the first conductive layer formed over the dielectric structure. The treatment process introduces a non-metal material to the first portion of the first conductive layer. After the treatment process has been performed, a second deposition process is performed that at least partially fills the opening with a second conductive layer without trapping a gap therein.

  • Patent number: 11552323
    Abstract: A biofuel cell includes a cathode, an anode, and a microbial community. At least one of the anode and the cathode contains a biochar prepared from a Trapa natans husk as an electrode material, and the anode is located in the microbial community. By using the biochar prepared from the Trapa natans husk as the electrode material, not only can the power density of the biofuel cell be increased, but the economic benefits of waste recycling can also be achieved.
