  • Patent number: 12324092
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is disclosed. The integrated circuit is coupled to a circuit board. The circuit board includes several signal pair channels. The integrated circuit includes several output terminals and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to configure several output signals output to several signal pair channels by several output terminals, so that a first signal pair channel and a second signal pair channel of several signal pair channels receive and output several output signals, so that a third signal pair channel of several signal pair channels shields an interference between the first signal pair channel and the second signal pair channel. The third signal pair channel is adjacent to the first signal pair channel and the second signal pair channel, and the third signal pair channel is located between the first signal pair channel and the second signal pair channel.

  • Publication number: 20250167150
    Abstract: A first wafer having a first portion closer to a first surface and a thicker second portion connected with the first portion and closer to the second surface opposite to the first surface is provided. A second wafer is provided to bond with the first wafer. An edge trimming process is performed to form a trench penetrating through the second wafer and extending beyond the first portion and extending into the second portion. After bonding dies to the second wafer, a filling material is formed over the dies and the first and second wafers, wrapping around and between the dies, covering the first and second wafers, and partially filling the trench. A wafer thinning process is performed to remove the second portion and partially remove the filling material in the trench to level the surface of the thinned first wafer with the surface of the thinned filling material.
