    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a shared frontside pad/bridge layout for a three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC), as well as the 3D IC and a method for forming the 3D IC. A second IC die underlies the first IC die, and a third IC die underlies the second IC die. A first-die backside pad, a second-die backside pad, and a third die backside pad are in a row extending in a dimension and overlie the first, second, and third IC dies. Further, the first-die, second-die, and third-die backside pads are electrically coupled respectively to individual semiconductor devices of the first, second, and third IC dies. The second and third IC dies include individual pad/bridge structures at top metal (TM) layers of corresponding interconnect structures. The pad/bridge structures share the shared frontside pad/bridge layout and provide lateral routing in the dimension for the aforementioned electrical coupling.

  • 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.
