Publication number: 20050248025Abstract: Described is a method where a seal ring is formed by stacking interconnected conductive layers along the perimeter of an integrated circuit (IC). The seal ring is formed continuously around the IC perimeter using a conductive chain with two distinct widths. Each section of distinct width forms a transmission having a distinct characteristic impedance. Unwanted signals may be coupled to the seal ring from signal bond pads or from internal circuitry. Because of the impedance mismatch between the different width sections of the seal ring transmission lines, only a portion of each signal is propagated through each seal ring discontinuity while the remainder is reflected. As the signal passes through multiple discontinuities in the seal ring, it is further attenuated, reducing propagation of unwanted signals. This is accomplished while preventing moisture intrusion into the IC.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2005Publication date: November 10, 2005Inventors: Chao Tsai, Shyh-Chyi Wong

Patent number: 6904224Abstract: A cycloolefin in copolymeric (COC) optical communication device. The COC optical communication device includes a core section of functional metallocene cycloolefin copolymer (f-mCOC) having a refractive index n1 for light transmission, and a cladding layer of metallocene cycloolefin copolymer (mCOC), having a refractive index n2 smaller than n1, surrounding the core section and forming a waveguide structure together with the core section. Due to the fact that the various components of the optical communication device are comprised of essentially the same materials, signal transmission loss between heterogeneous interfaces is prevented, and provides excellent optical properties and superior processability.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2003Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chao-Tsai Huang, Hsi-Hsin Shih, Chien-Tsung Wu, Jung-Chieh Su, Feng-Yu Yang, Joung-Yei Chen
