  • Publication number: 20190131272
    Abstract: A semiconductor device, semiconductor device assembly, and method of forming a semiconductor device assembly that includes a barrier on a pillar. The semiconductor device assembly includes a semiconductor device disposed over another semiconductor device. At least one pillar extends from one semiconductor device towards a pad on the other semiconductor device. The barrier on the exterior of the pillar may be a standoff to control a bond line between the semiconductor devices. The barrier may reduce solder bridging and may prevent reliability and electromigration issues that can result from the IMC formation between the solder and copper portions of a pillar. The barrier may help align the pillar with a pad when forming a semiconductor device assembly and may reduce misalignment due to lateral movement of the semiconductor devices. Windows or slots in the barrier may permit the expansion of solder in predetermined directions while preventing bridging in other directions.

  • Patent number: 8581458
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical actuating drive (1) for devices to be adjusted mechanically, having an electrical drive motor (2) and an output-drive shaft (4) which can be adjusted over a rotation actuating range of more than 360°, comprising an integrated contactless sensor angle measurement system (6) for determining and feeding back the respective rotation position of the output-drive shaft (4). The sensor angle measurement system (6) produces an output signal which largely simulates the characteristics of a conventional multiple potentiometer system.
