  • Publication number: 20240105664
    Abstract: A package structure includes a first RDL, an adhesive layer and a first electronic component. Upper bumps and conductive pads are provided on a first upper surface and a first lower surface of the first RDL, respectively. The adhesive layer is located on the first upper surface of the first RDL and surrounds the upper bumps. The first electronic component is mounted on the adhesive layer and includes conductors which are visible from an active surface of the first electronic component and joined to the upper bumps, the active surface of the first electronic component faces toward the first upper surface of the first RDL. Two adhesive surfaces of the adhesive layer are adhered to the first upper surface of the first RDL and the active surface of the first electronic component, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20240074217
    Abstract: A memory device includes a field effect transistor and a variable-capacitance capacitor. A gate structure includes a gate dielectric and an intermediate electrode. The variable-capacitance capacitor includes a lower capacitor plate comprising the intermediate electrode, an upper capacitor plate comprising a control gate electrode, and a variable-capacitance node dielectric and including an electrical-field-programmable metal oxide material. The electrical-field-programmable metal oxide material provides a variable effective dielectric constant, and a data bit may be stored as a dielectric state of the variable-capacitance node dielectric in the memory device. The variable-capacitance node dielectric provides reversible electrical field-dependent resistivity modulation, or reversible electrical field-dependent movement of metal atoms therein.
