  • Publication number: 20230245913
    Abstract: A laminate structure and a method used in the manufacturing of flexible electronics or microelectronic devices are provided. The laminate structure comprises a rigid substrate, a flexible microelectronics structure comprising and a debonding structure provided between the rigid substrate and the flexible microelectronics structure. The debonding structure comprises at least one debonding layer made of a non-metallic inorganic material. The laminate structure comprises first and second peeling surfaces, where at least one of the peeling surfaces corresponding to a surface of the debonding structure or to a surface within the debonding structure. The first and second peeling surfaces are peelable by a debonding force resulting from a mechanical delamination and/or from a pressurized fluid delamination, allowing separating the flexible microelectronic device from the rigid substrate.

  • Patent number: 9331086
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided, which comprises at least one first group each having at least one analog unit; and at least one second group each having at least one electronically settable semi-permanent switching unit coupled to the at least analog unit of the first group for trimming the first group and having at least one many-times-programmable and non-volatile cell (MTP). Each many-times-programmable cell (MTP) comprises at least one MOS transistor having a floating gate (FG) with a tunnel oxide (TO) and a first capacitor coupled to the floating gate (FG). The capacitance of the first capacitor is substantially larger than a gate-channel capacitance of the MOS transistor.

  • Patent number: 7989875
    Abstract: A BiCMOS substrate includes a bipolar area having a buried carrier layer, and a deep trench isolation (DTI) trench extending into the buried carrier layer to form a surface well implant above a buried well implant within the DTI trench, the buried well implant being the buried carrier layer portion within the DTI trench. A floating gate is disposed on the carrier well. Optionally, a high voltage control gate is formed of a stack of the buried well implant and the surface well implant within the DTI trench. Optionally, a poly layer formed of a bipolar process base poly layer is disposed on the floating gate. Optionally, a shallow well isolation region is formed on the substrate, a floating gate is disposed on the shallow well region, and an overlaying control gate, formed of a bipolar process base poly, is disposed above the floating gate.
