  • Publication number: 20240084455
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein include systems and techniques for fabricating a wafer-on-wafer product using a filled lateral gap between beveled regions of wafers included in a stacked-wafer assembly and along a perimeter region of the stacked-wafer assembly. The systems and techniques include a deposition tool having an electrode with a protrusion that enhances an electromagnetic field along the perimeter region of the stacked-wafer assembly during a deposition operation performed by the deposition tool. Relative to an electromagnetic field generated by a deposition tool not including the electrode with the protrusion, the enhanced electromagnetic field improves the deposition operation so that a supporting fill material may be sufficiently deposited.

  • Patent number: 7134839
    Abstract: A radial-flow heat-dissipating fan includes a casing and a cover mounted to a side of the casing. The casing includes a compartment and a side air outlet, and the cover includes an air inlet. A primary fan wheel is rotatably mounted in the compartment and the primary fan wheel includes a hub and a plurality of radial-flow blades surrounding the hub. An auxiliary fan wheel is mounted in the air inlet of the cover and includes a plurality of axial-flow blades. An airflow transition area is defined between a circumference of the hub of the primary fan wheel, the radial-flow blades, and the axial-flow blades. The axial-flow blades increase axial inlet airflow via the air inlet, with the airflow transition area changing a direction of the axial inlet airflow into centrifugal airflow that is outputted via the side air outlet by the radial-flow blades.

  • Patent number: 7125226
    Abstract: An impeller for a radial-flow heat dissipating fan includes a hub and a plurality of blades surrounding the hub. The blades are connected to a circumference of the hub to allow joint rotation of the hub and the blades. More than one blade include an air inlet side edge and an air outlet side edge. The air inlet side edge of each of the more than one blade has a radial length smaller than that of the air out side edge, thereby increasing an air inlet amount and smoothly changing incoming axial airflow into centrifugal airflow.
