Patent number: 7960840Abstract: A TSV-MEMS packaging process is provided. The process includes forming TSVs in the front side of the product wafer, and attaching a first carrier to the front side of the product wafer, subsequent to forming TSVs. The process further includes thinning the back side of the product wafer to expose TSV tips, detaching the first carrier from the front side of the product wafer, and transferring the thinned wafer to a second carrier with back side adhered to the second wafer carrier. Semiconductor components are added to the front side of the product wafer, followed by forming a hermetic cavity over the added semiconductor components, and detaching the second carrier from the back side of the product wafer. Wafer level processing continues after detaching the second carrier.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2009Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Thomas Dyer Bonifield, Thomas W.

Publication number: 20110114597Abstract: Disclosed is a method of fabricating an integrated circuit comprising patterning a dielectric layer to form a hole having a sidewall and a bottom. The hole can expose an underlying material of an electrically conducting material. The method also includes exposing the sidewall and the exposed underlying material to a plasma etch, depositing a barrier layer on the bottom and the sidewall of the hole after the plasma etch clean, forming a counter-sunk cone in the underlying material by etching through the barrier layer at the bottom of the hole into the conducting metal underneath, flash depositing a thin layer of the barrier material into the hole, and finally depositing a metal seed layer in the hole covering the sidewalls and the bottom of the hole including the cone at the bottom. The hole is finally filled by depositing a metal layer in the hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2010Publication date: May 19, 2011Applicant: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Alfred J.

Publication number: 20080021390Abstract: An injection device is provided. The device includes a housing having a first end defining a first opening. A plunger is received within the first opening of the housing to move between first and second positions. A cartridge is disposed in the housing and has an interior serving as a reservoir for a drug. A delivery needle is disposed within the housing and is in fluid communication with the reservoir via an interruptible fluid channel. A locking mechanism is disposed in the housing. In the first position of the plunger the delivery needle is enclosed by the plunger and in the second position of the plunger the delivery needle is placed in an injection position and the plunger activates the locking mechanism whereby when the plunger returns to the first position the locking mechanism prevents the needle from being placed in the injection position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2007Publication date: January 24, 2008Applicant: BECTON DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: M. Haider, Timothy Erskine, Ronald Pettis

Publication number: 20070118077Abstract: A system and method is provided for an injectable substance delivery device comprising a limiter, shoulder or post, that controls how deep the needle is inserted into the tissue. The limiter is sized in proportions that control the maximum insertion depth of the needle into the tissue without excessively restricting the complete insertion of the needle. The system and method further comprises an normalization or stabilizer ring that prevents distortion of the tissue in the vicinity of the infusion, so that the needle length is the major determining factor as to how deep the infusion is delivered.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2005Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventors: Richard Clarke, M.
