Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that includes an electrical interconnect structure, a thermal interconnect structure, and a thermal passivation layer over a substrate. The electrical interconnect structure includes interconnect vias and interconnect wires embedded within interconnect dielectric layers. The thermal interconnect structure is arranged beside the electrical interconnect structure and includes thermal vias, thermal wires, and/or thermal layers. Further, the thermal interconnect structure is embedded within the interconnect dielectric layers. The thermal passivation layer is arranged over a topmost one of the interconnect dielectric layers. The thermal interconnect structure has a higher thermal conductivity than the interconnect dielectric layers.

Abstract: A transmission shaft assembly includes a carbon-fiber tube having two ends, and each end has protrusions and recesses which are located alternatively to the protrusions. Two connectors each have an outer tubular portion and an inner tubular portion extending axially therefrom. Multiple first engaging portions and multiple second engaging portions are located between the outer tubular portion and the inner tubular portion of each of the connectors. The two connectors are respectively connected to the two ends of the carbon-fiber tube. The first engaging portions are engaged with the recesses, and the second engaging portions are engaged with the protrusions. Adhesive is applied between the connectors and the carbon-fiber tube.
