  • Publication number: 20220344303
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing electronic chips includes depositing, on a side of an upper face of a semiconductor substrate, in and on which a plurality of integrated circuits has been formed, a protective resin. The method includes forming, in the protective resin, at least one cavity per integrated circuit, in contact with an upper face of the integrated circuit. Metal connection pillars are formed by filling the cavities with metal. The integrated circuits are separated into individual chips by cutting the protective resin along cut lines extending between the metal connection pillars.

  • Patent number: 11393785
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing electronic chips includes forming, on a side of an upper face of a semiconductor substrate, in and on which a plurality of integrated circuits has been formed, trenches laterally separating the integrated circuits. At least one metal connection pillar per integrated circuit is deposited on the side of the upper face of the substrate, and a protective resin extends in the trenches and on an upper face of the integrated circuits. The method further includes forming, from an upper face of the protective resin, openings located across from the trenches and extending over a width greater than or equal to that of the trenches, so as to clear a flank of at least one metal pillar of each integrated circuit. The integrated circuits are separated into individual chips by cutting.

  • Patent number: 8633605
    Abstract: This invention describes a device for the generation of electric energy from small movements which comprises: a magnet with the shape of a solid of revolution which comprises at least a couple of poles (N, S) placed around an axis of revolution; a tube whose transversal section is complementary to the shape of the magnet, and which comprises a winding rolled transversally around it, with the magnet placed in the interior of the tube so that an inclination of the tube causes the magnet to roll, traveling along the interior of the tube and inducing tension on the winding.
