Patent number: 7393758Abstract: Wafer level packaging process for packaging MEMS or other devices. In some embodiments, a MEMS wafer with normal thickness is firstly bonded to a cap wafer of normal thickness, followed by a thinning on the backside of the MEMS wafer. After this, the bonded wafer stack and the capping of the hermetically packaged MEMS devices are still rigid enough to do further processing. On this basis, through vias on the thinned substrate can be easily formed and stopped on the regions to be led out (e.g., metal pads/electrodes, highly doped silicon, etc.). Vias can be partially filled as this is the final surface of process. Even thick metal coated/patterned vias have much more space to relax possible thermal stress, as long as the vias are not completely filled with hard metal(s). Various embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2005Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.Inventors: Uppili Sridhar, Quanbo Zou

Patent number: 7387561Abstract: An undergarment or bodysuit which uses a simplex lining between a TACTEL outer layer and a cotton inner layer, the cotton inner layer and the simplex lining forming a laminate. Stabilized tricot may be included as part of the laminate. The use of the simplex layer instead of the foam layer results in a material which provides a similar smoothing effect as foam but which has a lower tendency to crease or ride up when the wearer bends down or bends over. Thong portions snap together and use a powernet fabric to stretch the garment over the body and hold the garment down at the waist when it is worn to provide a smooth look. Foam cushions are also provided at strategic places to reduce the pressure caused by flexible wires or bones used to provide additional support to keep the bones from digging into the rib cage and provide more comfort to the bodysuit undergarment. A small, vertically extending bone is placed between the cups for additional support and to keep the cup support wires centered.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2005Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Inventor: Robert Kambiz Zarabi
