  • Patent number: 12079431
    Abstract: An ultrasonic touch sensor includes a housing having a package cavity; an ultrasonic transmitter arranged within the package cavity, and configured to transmit an ultrasonic transmit wave; an ultrasonic receiver arranged within the package cavity, and configured to receive an ultrasonic reflected wave produced by a reflection of the ultrasonic transmit wave and generate a measurement signal representative of the ultrasonic reflected wave; a measurement circuit arranged within the package cavity and coupled to the ultrasonic receiver, and configured to detect a touch or a non-touch based on the measurement signal; a light source configured to produce an activating light; and a coupling medium that fills or at least partially fills the package cavity. The coupling medium includes a luminescent material that is configured to be activated by the activating light to produce a backlight that is emitted from the package cavity.

  • Publication number: 20240112956
    Abstract: A layer stack is formed that includes a device layer and an insulator layer. The device layer includes electronic elements. The insulator layer is adjacent to a back surface of the device layer. A spacer disk is adhesive bonded on the layer stack on a side opposite the device layer. The spacer disk and the layer stack form a wafer composite. The wafer composite is divided into a plurality of individual semiconductor chips. Each semiconductor chip includes a portion of the layer stack and a portion of the spacer disk.

  • Publication number: 20230341311
    Abstract: The application relates to a semiconductor device for particle measurement having a cavity housing and a MEMS chip arranged inside the cavity housing. The housing includes a first opening, via which the cavity is connected to the surroundings and in which a first grating is arranged, which is capable by setting it to a first electrical potential of attracting particles from the surroundings and/or electrically charging them. The MEMS chip includes a membrane facing toward the first opening, which is capable by setting it to a second electrical potential of attracting particles. The application furthermore relates to a method for operating a semiconductor device having a cavity housing and a MEMS chip arranged inside the cavity housing.
