  • Publication number: 20240071954
    Abstract: A memory device including a base semiconductor die, conductive terminals, memory dies, an insulating encapsulation and a buffer cap is provided. The conductive terminals are disposed on a first surface of the base semiconductor die. The memory dies are stacked over a second surface of the base semiconductor die, and the second surface of the base semiconductor die is opposite to the first surface of the base semiconductor die. The insulating encapsulation is disposed on the second surface of the base semiconductor die and laterally encapsulates the memory dies. The buffer cap covers the first surface of the base semiconductor die, sidewalls of the base semiconductor die and sidewalls of the insulating encapsulation. A package structure including the above-mentioned memory device is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20160265812
    Abstract: A radiant heat-absorbing heat-preserving container includes a heat-absorbing body having an outer surface, an opening, and a receiving space; and a light-permeable layer covering the outer surface of the heat-absorbing body. Another radiant heat-absorbing heat-preserving container includes a base, a heat-absorbing cover having an outer surface, and a light-permeable layer covering the outer surface of the heat-absorbing cover, wherein the heat-absorbing cover is tightly connected with the periphery of the base to form a receiving space between the heat-absorbing cover and the base. A thermal insulation layer is formed between the light-permeable layer and the heat-absorbing cover in the radiant heat-absorbing heat-preserving containers of the present invention. When the outer surface of the heat-absorbing body or cover is exposed to light passing through the light-permeable layer, the heat-absorbing body or cover absorbs the thermal energy of, and is thus heated by, the light.
