Abstract: A hybrid panel method of (and apparatus for) manufacturing electronic devices, and electronic devices manufactured thereby. As non-limiting examples, various aspects of this disclosure provide an apparatus for manufacturing an electronic device, where the apparatus is operable to, at least, receive a panel to which a subpanel is coupled, cut around a subpanel through a layer of material, and remove such subpanel from the panel. The apparatus may also, for example, be operable to couple to an upper side of the subpanel, and remove the subpanel from the panel by, at least in part, operating to rotate the subpanel relative to the panel.

Abstract: In one example, an electronic device includes a semiconductor sensor device having a cavity extending partially inward from one surface to provide a diaphragm adjacent an opposite surface. A barrier is disposed adjacent to the one surface and extends across the cavity, the barrier has membrane with a barrier body and first barrier strands bounded by the barrier body to define first through-holes. The electronic device further comprises one or more of a protrusion pattern disposed adjacent to the barrier structure, which can include a plurality of protrusion portions separated by a plurality of recess portions; one or more conformal membrane layers disposed over the first barrier strands; or second barrier strands disposed on and at least partially overlapping the first barrier strands. The second barrier strands define second through-holes laterally offset from the first through-holes. Other examples and related methods are also disclosed herein.
