  • Publication number: 20250079414
    Abstract: An electronic package module and a method for fabrication of the same are provided. The method includes providing an electronic component assembly and a circuit substrate. The electronic component assembly includes two electronic components and a conductive structure. The electronic components are connected to each other through a conductive adhesive material, while the electronic components are connected to the conductive structure through another conductive adhesive material. A soldering material is formed on the circuit substrate, and the electronic component assembly is disposed on the soldering material. The melting points of the conductive adhesive materials are higher than the melting point of the soldering material. As a result, the conductive adhesive materials are prevented from failure during the soldering process, and thus the process yield is improved.

  • Publication number: 20240023382
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. Voltage may be applied to the anode of each pixel to control the magnitude of emitted light. The conductivity of the OLED layers may allow leakage current to pass between neighboring anodes in the display. To reduce leakage current and the accompanying cross-talk in a display, a cutting structure may disrupt continuity of the OLED layers. The cutting structure may have two undercuts to disrupt continuity of at least some of the OLED layers. The cutting structure may include a conductive portion that provides a cathode voltage to a cathode layer for the OLED pixels.

  • Patent number: 9929056
    Abstract: A method for forming gate structures for a HV device and a MV device is provided. The method includes forming a HV oxide layer on the substrate, covering a first region predetermined for forming the HV device. Further in the method, a dielectric mask is formed on a central portion of the HV oxide layer. A thermal oxidation process is performed to form a MV oxide layer on the substrate at a second region predetermined for forming the MV device, wherein peripheral portions of the HV oxide layer not covered by the dielectric mask grow thicker. The dielectric mask is removed. A conductive layer is formed over the substrate. The conductive layer, the HV oxide layer, the MV oxide layer are patterned to form the gate structures.
