  • Publication number: 20250070092
    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.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11368115
    Abstract: A vehicle driving device is driven by a power unit. A three-phase motor includes a first stator winding and a second stator winding. The first stator winding is connected in parallel to the second stator winding, and the first stator winding and the second stator winding are synchronized with each other. A first current sensor is coupled to the first stator winding for measuring a first-phase current. A second current sensor is coupled to the first stator winding for measuring a second-phase current. A third-phase current of the first stator winding is generated according to a calculating procedure of the first-phase current and the second-phase current. A duty cycle between a first power module and a second power module is controlled according to a feedback compensation of the first-phase current, the second-phase current and the third-phase current.
