  • Patent number: 12002822
    Abstract: A passive amplifier is provided that includes an input sampling switch, a sampling capacitance, and metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor devices. An input signal may be sampled onto the sampling capacitance by turning on the input sampling switch while the metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors are activated. After the sampling phase, the metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors are deactivated to provide a voltage gain. The voltage gain can be conditionally applied depending on the signal level of the sampled input.

  • Patent number: 11978713
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a flip chip assembly having a bump that reduces stress levels in a low-k dielectric layer in the flip chip. Rather than having a single, large area plateau that interfaces with a large corresponding opening of an insulating layer in the flip chip, the bump includes a plurality of much smaller pillars that interface with a corresponding plurality of openings in the insulating layer. In so doing, the low-k layer within the flip chip experiences much less stress and hence, fewer failures.
