Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a package-on-package (PoP) structure includes a first semiconductor package having a first side and a second side opposing the first side, a second semiconductor package having a first side and a second side opposing the first side, and a plurality of inter-package connector coupled between the first side of the first semiconductor package and the first side of the second semiconductor package. The PoP structure further includes a first molding material on the second side of the first semiconductor package. The second side of the second semiconductor package is substantially free of the first molding material.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an integrated chip including an extended via that spans a combined height of a wire and a via and that has a smaller footprint than the wire. The extended via may replace a wire and an adjoining via at locations where the sizing and the spacing of the wire are reaching lower limits. Because the extended via has a smaller footprint than the wire, replacing the wire and the adjoining via with the extended via relaxes spacing and allows the size of the pixel to be further reduced. The extended via finds application for capacitor arrays used for pixel circuits.

Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction memory device includes a vertical stack of magnetic tunnel junction NOR strings located over a substrate. Each magnetic tunnel junction NOR string includes a respective semiconductor material layer that contains a semiconductor source region, a plurality of semiconductor channels, and a plurality of semiconductor drain regions, a plurality of magnetic tunnel junction memory cells having a respective first electrode that is located on a respective one of the plurality of semiconductor drain regions, and a metallic bit line contacting each second electrode of the plurality of magnetic tunnel junction memory cells. The vertical stack of magnetic tunnel junction NOR strings may be repeated along a channel direction to provide a three-dimensional magnetic tunnel junction memory device.

Abstract: A transistor includes a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, a semiconductor nanosheet, a gate electrode and source and drain electrodes. The semiconductor nanosheet is physically connected to the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. The gate electrode wraps around the semiconductor nanosheet. The source and drain electrodes are disposed at opposite sides of the gate electrode. The first semiconductor layer surrounds the source electrode, the second semiconductor layer surrounds the drain electrode, and the semiconductor nanosheet is disposed between the source and drain electrodes.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided in this disclosure. The electronic device includes a display panel, a transmission line, a universal motherboard, and an optional panel power management module. The display panel is a first type display panel or a second type display panel. The transmission line is a first transmission line or a second transmission line. The universal motherboard is connected to the first type display panel through the first transmission line, or connected to the second type display panel through the second transmission line. When the display panel is the first type display panel, the panel power management module is connected to the universal motherboard and the first type display panel through the first transmission line, so that the panel power management module provides power management required for the first type display panel according to the universal motherboard.
