  • Publication number: 20240096784
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240071776
    Abstract: A chip packaging structure and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The chip package structure includes a conductive substrate, a dam and a metal shielding layer. The conductive substrate includes a substrate, vias and electrodes. The substrate has first and second board surfaces opposite to each other. The vias penetrate through the first board surface and the second board surface, and a part of the vias is disposed in a first die-bonding region on which a chip is to be arranged. The electrodes extend from the first board surface to the second board surface through the vias. The dam is formed on the first board surface to surround the first die-bonding region, and the dam has a height higher than that of the chip. The metal shielding layer covers the dam and a part of the first board surface that do not overlap with the electrodes.
