  • Publication number: 20240071981
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. A semiconductor wafer is provided. A plurality of first surface mount components and a plurality of second surface mount components are bonded onto the semiconductor wafer, wherein a first portion of each of the second surface mount components is overhanging a periphery of the semiconductor wafer. A first barrier structure is formed in between the second surface mount components and the semiconductor wafer. An underfill structure is formed under a second portion of each of the second surface mount components, wherein the first barrier structure blocks the spreading of the underfill structure from the second portion to the first portion.

  • Patent number: 9584052
    Abstract: A driving method for a spindle motor and associated driving system and apparatus are provided. The driving method includes the following steps. Plural modulation signals and plural floating phases corresponding to the plural modulation signals are adjusted. A floating period comes immediately after an active period of each of the plural modulation signals according to the plural floating phases. During the floating period, a demagnetization time of the spindle motor is acquired according to a first terminal voltage signal at a first terminal of the spindle motor. If the demagnetization time is not smaller than the threshold time period, the step of adjusting the plural modulation signals is repeatedly done. Whereas, if the demagnetization time is smaller than the threshold time period, after the demagnetization time, a phase of the spindle motor is obtained according to the first terminal voltage signal.

  • Publication number: 20160094887
    Abstract: Provided herein are a TV program-based shopping guide system and a TV program-based shopping guide method. The TV program-based shopping guide system includes a detecting module, an expansion module and a recommendation module. The detecting module provides a plurality of key nouns according to program information corresponding to a TV program that a user is watching. The expansion module searches in at least one social network provided with a plurality of web articles according to the key nouns to obtain a plurality of expansion nouns. Each of the expansion nouns corresponds to one of the key nouns. The recommendation module searches in a commodity database according to the key nouns and the expansion nouns to obtain a matched commodity list, and then outputs information related to a plurality of recommended commodities included in the matched commodity list to at least one electronic device.
