  • Patent number: 12002684
    Abstract: A method for CMP includes following operations. A metal stack is received. The metal layer stack includes at least a first metal layer and a second metal layer, and a top surface of the first metal layer and a top surface of the second metal layer are exposed. A protecting layer is formed over the second metal layer. A portion of the first metal layer is etched. The protecting layer protects the second metal layer during the etching of the portion of the first metal layer. A top surface of the etched first metal layer is lower than a top surface of the protecting layer. The protecting layer is removed from the second metal layer.

  • Patent number: 11961777
    Abstract: A package structure and a method of forming the same are provided. The package structure includes a first die, a second die, a first encapsulant, and a buffer layer. The first die and the second die are disposed side by side. The first encapsulant encapsulates the first die and the second die. The second die includes a die stack encapsulated by a second encapsulant encapsulating a die stack. The buffer layer is disposed between the first encapsulant and the second encapsulant and covers at least a sidewall of the second die and disposed between the first encapsulant and the second encapsulant. The buffer layer has a Young's modulus less than a Young's modulus of the first encapsulant and a Young's modulus of the second encapsulant.

  • Patent number: 8719597
    Abstract: A power control system, a power control method, and a computer system thereof are disclosed. The power control system comprises a control module for receiving a control signal. A power management module is used for receiving a power signal and outputting an auxiliary power. A first switch module receives the control signal and controls the power management module to output the auxiliary power to the control module by the control signal. A second switch module controls the first switch module. After receiving the control signal, the control module determines whether the control signal is continuously received until a predetermined time. If yes, the control module controls the first switch module to transmit the auxiliary power continuously with the second switch module and receives the power signal to execute a boot procedure.

  • Publication number: 20040061938
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a single component performing light polarization and color filtering, and to a production process making the component. The component comprises a polarization plate with photo resistant material of three primary colors distributed at a plurality of dot locations on one of its surface, and with light absorbing material disposed between any adjacent two of the dot locations. The production process comprises the steps of forming a dot matrix on a surface of the polarization plate and filling photo resistant material onto the dots of the dot matrix.
