  • Publication number: 20180358309
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming an integrated chip. The method may be performed by forming first and second source regions within a substrate. The first and second source regions are separated by a drain region along a first direction. First and second middle-end-of-the-line (MEOL) structures are formed over the substrate. The first and second MEOL structures have bottom surfaces that continually extend past edges of the first and second source regions, respectively, along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A power rail is formed that is electrically coupled to the first and second MEOL structures. The power rail has a first interconnect wire, a via rail on and in contact with the first interconnect wire, and a second interconnect wire on and in contact with the via rail. The via rail continuously extends along the first direction past the first and second MEOL structures.

  • Patent number: 10042448
    Abstract: A touch module for preventing separation of silver paste between laser etching traces, comprises a substrate, a plurality of touch electrodes, and a silver paste. A side of the touch electrode has a pin area. The pin area contains a plurality of perforations. The silver paste is coated on the substrate and the pin area for connecting electrical circuitry between the pin area and the connection line area. Wherein the silver paste on the pin area flows into the perforations and connects to the substrate. Therefore separation of the silver paste on the pin area and touch electrodes will less likely occur due to minor coating errors. The present invention also provides a manufacturing method of a touch module that prevents separation of the silver paste between laser etching traces.

  • Publication number: 20180174967
    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an integrated chip. The method is performed by forming gate structures and middle-end-of-the-line (MEOL) structures extending in a first direction over an active area of a substrate. The MEOL structures are interleaved between the gate structures along a second direction. The method further forms a power rail and a first metal wire extending in the second direction. The first metal wire is over the MEOL structures. A double patterning process is performed to form second and third metal wires extending in the first direction over the first metal wire and separated in the second direction. The second metal wire is cut according to a first cut region of a first cut mask to define a first metal strap connecting a first one of the MEOL structures to the power rail.

  • Patent number: 9911697
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that uses a metal strap to improve performance and reduce electromigration by coupling a middle-end-of-the-line (MEOL) layer to a power rail. In some embodiments, the integrated chip has an active area with a plurality of source/drain regions. The active area contacts a MEOL structure extending in a first direction. A first metal wire extends in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, at a location overlying the MEOL structure. A metal strap extending in a first direction is arranged over the first metal wire. The metal strap is configured to connect the first metal line to a power rail (e.g., which may be held at a supply or ground voltage), which extends in the second direction. By connecting the MEOL structure to the power rail by way of a metal strap, parasitic capacitance and electromigration may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 9893009
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a semiconductor arrangement comprises a stacked interconnect structure comprising a first interconnect structure and a second interconnect structure. The stacked interconnect structure has a relatively larger aspect ratio than the first interconnect structure or the second interconnect structure, which reduces resistivity and improves performance. In some embodiments, a duplicate interconnect path is inserted into a design layout for a semiconductor arrangement. The duplicated interconnect path provides an additional path between a first net and a second net connected by an interconnect path. Connecting the first net and the second net by the interconnect path and the duplicated interconnect path reduces resistivity and improves performance. In some embodiments, a semiconductor arrangement comprises cell pin operatively coupled to a duplicate cell pin. The cell pin and the duplicate cell pin are operatively coupled to a logic structure to reduce resistivity and improve performance.

    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) driving device and a short protection method for a driving device are provided. The driving device includes an LED module, a driving circuit, a reference voltage setting circuit, a voltage comparison circuit, and a power supply. A first node of the LED module receives a lighting voltage, and a second node of the LED module has a first voltage. The reference voltage setting circuit receives the lighting voltage to generate a reference voltage. The voltage comparison circuit determines whether the first voltage is greater than the reference voltage when the LED module is turned off. When the first voltage is greater than the reference voltage, the voltage comparison circuit generates a short signal. The power supply supplies power to the LED module and determines whether to shut down the power of the LED driving device according to the short signal.
