Abstract: A bonding structure that may be used to form 3D-IC devices is formed using first oblong bonding pads on a first substrate and second oblong bonding pads one a second substrate. The first and second oblong bonding pads are laid crosswise, and the bond is formed. Viewed in a first cross-section, the first bonding pad is wider than the second bonding pad. Viewed in a second cross-section at a right angle to the first, the second bonding pad is wider than the first bonding pad. Making the bonding pads oblong and angling them relative to one another reduces variations in bonding area due to shifts in alignment between the first substrate and the second substrate. The oblong shape in a suitable orientation may also be used to reduce capacitive coupling between one of the bonding pads and nearby wires.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus having a second screen and a control method thereof are provided. A first screen of the electronic apparatus displays main content; the second screen displays, for instance, a logo, a notification message, or other information. To observe display content on the second screen in a positive direction, in response to a body of the electronic apparatus flipping or rotating, a display image on the second screen is rotated correspondingly. Besides, to obtain simple information, e.g., weather, temperature, current time, etc., or activate a specific function, in response to a default trigger operation, the second screen can display corresponding simple information or content of the function. When the first screen is in a full-screen mode, if the notification message is received, the second screen displays content corresponding to the notification message, so that the first screen can continue displaying the content in the full-screen mode without being affected.
