  • Publication number: 20240126874
    Abstract: A security processing device for handling attacks including an attack detector, a programing time controller, a non-volatile memory device and a processing unit. The attack detector is used to detect whether an attack event occurs, and generate an attack trigger signal when the attack event occurs. The programing time controller is electrically connected to the attack detector, and used to update a first flag value when receiving the attack trigger signal. The non-volatile memory device is electrically connected to the program time controller, and used to store the first and the second flag values. The processing unit is electrically connected to the program time controller. When the security processing device is reset or boot-up, the programing time controller updates the second flag value and adjusts a time of a first instruction processed through the processing unit based on the first flag value and the second flag value.

  • Publication number: 20130026658
    Abstract: Primarily disclosed is a wafer-level chip-scale-package (WLCSP) for wire-bonding connection. A first encapsulating layer is formed over a passivation layer of a chip. An RDL (redistribution wiring layer) is formed on the first encapsulating layer. A plurality of wire-bonding pads are stacked on the wiring terminals of the RDL on the first encapsulating layer. Each wire-bonding pad has a top surface and a sidewall. A surface plated layer completely covers the top surfaces of the wire-bonding pads. A second encapsulating layer is formed over the first encapsulating layer to encapsulate the RDL and the sidewalls of the wire-bonding pads. The openings of the second encapsulating layer are smaller than the top surfaces of the corresponding wire-bonding pads to partially encapsulate the surface plated layer. Accordingly, it can resolve the issue of die crack when wire-bonding on thinned chips.
