  • Publication number: 20240153895
    Abstract: Semiconductor dies of a semiconductor die package are directly bonded, and a top metal region may be formed over the semiconductor dies. A plurality of conductive terminals may be formed over the top metal region. The conductive terminals are formed of copper (Cu) or another material that enables low-temperature deposition process techniques, such as electroplating, to be used to form the conductive terminal. In this way, the conductive terminals of the semiconductor die packages described herein may be formed at a relatively low temperature. This reduces the likelihood of thermal deformation of semiconductor dies in the semiconductor die packages. The reduced thermal deformation reduces the likelihood of warpage, breakage, and/or other types of damage to the semiconductor dies of the semiconductor die packages, which may increase performance and/or increase yield of semiconductor die packages.

  • Publication number: 20240134268
    Abstract: A mask for use in a semiconductor lithography process includes a substrate, a mask pattern disposed on the substrate, and a light absorbing border surrounding the mask pattern. The light absorbing border is inset from at least two edges of the substrate to define a peripheral region outside of the light absorbing border. In some designs, a first peripheral region extends from an outer perimeter of the light absorbing border to a first edge of the substrate, and a second peripheral region that extends from the outer perimeter of the light absorbing border to a second edge of the substrate, where the first edge of the substrate and the second edge of the substrate are on opposite sides of the mask pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240136346
    Abstract: A semiconductor die package includes an inductor-capacitor (LC) semiconductor die that is directly bonded with a logic semiconductor die. The LC semiconductor die includes inductors and capacitors that are integrated into a single die. The inductors and capacitors of the LC semiconductor die may be electrically connected with transistors and other logic components on the logic semiconductor die to form a voltage regulator circuit of the semiconductor die package. The integration of passive components (e.g., the inductors and capacitors) of the voltage regulator circuit into a single semiconductor die reduces signal propagation distances in the voltage regulator circuit, which may increase the operating efficiency of the voltage regulator circuit, may reduce the formfactor for the semiconductor die package, may reduce parasitic capacitance and/or may reduce parasitic inductance in the voltage regulator circuit (thereby improving the performance of the voltage regulator circuit), among other examples.

  • Patent number: 9787866
    Abstract: An image scanning method is applied in an image scanning device which includes an input tray and a paper feeding sensor. The method detects whether there are papers on the input tray in step one. If there are papers, step two is executed. Otherwise, the method ends and an error is reported. In step two, papers are separated and fed. Whether the papers contact the paper feeding sensor is detected in step three. The method executes step four if the papers contact the paper feeding sensor, and ends the method with an error message otherwise. In step four, the method scans and detects whether an image of a fed edge of each of the papers is abnormal. If the image is abnormal, the method ends and an error is reported. Otherwise, scanning continues.
