  • Publication number: 20150155222
    Abstract: A semiconductor die having improved thermal performance is disclosed. The semiconductor die includes a substrate having a device layer with a plurality of vias that pass through the substrate and the device layer, wherein individual ones of the plurality of vias have an open space volume of less than around about 70,000 cubic micrometers to around about 20,000 cubic micrometers. In at least one embodiment, the substrate of the semiconductor die is made of silicon carbide (SiC) and the device layer is made of gallium nitride (GaN).

  • Patent number: 8545918
    Abstract: A ham product and method for production thereof described herein separate bone-in hams into smaller pieces. Accordingly, pieces of bone-in ham, even those spirally-sliced, will be available to consumers in smaller portions. Unlike conventional methods, however, the ham product provides three or four pieces of essentially equal size that each have a nearly equal meat-to-bone ratio. Furthermore, when a spiral cut ham is separated into pieces, each piece includes a portion of the femur and retains attachment of the slices to the femur so that the slices stay intact during handling and packaging and so that the pieces retain the natural shape and easy handling desired by consumers.
