  • Publication number: 20250070045
    Abstract: In a package device, wherein integrated circuit devices are bonded to a substrate, stress arising from mechanical strain, CTE mismatch, and the like can be alleviated or eliminated by incorporating stress buffering air gaps into a protective material, such as a gap fill oxide. The air gaps can be formed by tuning and changing deposition parameters during the deposition process and/or by tuning the size and placement of adjacent integrated circuit devices in the package, and/or by forming trenches in the protective material prior to the bonding process.

  • Publication number: 20240348215
    Abstract: A method and system for producing an adjustable resistor with a set resistance for adjusting quiescent current in a GaN transistor in a power amplifier. A quiescent current on the GaN power amplifier is measured via a test probe from a microcontroller unit on a test fixture. A resistance value is determined for output of a voltage bias value to adjust the quiescent current of the GaN transistor in the power amplifier. The resistance value is stored in an electronically adjustable resistor. The adjustable resistor is coupled to an output voltage circuit to provide voltage at the voltage vias value to a voltage bias input of the power amplifier.

  • Patent number: 11434187
    Abstract: A system of concentrating and separating waste solvent liquid includes a distillation tower, an extracting distillation unit, an extract agent recovery unit, and a vapor permeation film unit. The scheme of centrifugal distillation is specifically employed to collocate with vapor permeation to effectively concentrate the content of isopropanol in the waste solvent liquid to generate a final produce with ultra high concentration of isopropanol, and constantly recovers the extract agent. The system is able to be quickly settled to a steady state of operation with low power consumption because the extracting distillation unit has smaller size. Since no liquid is left in the extract agent recovery unit, operation risk is greatly reduced. In addition, the input feed is almost processed, overall efficiency is thus improved. The vapor permeation film unit further removes considerably little content of water from the organic solvent to increase the content of isopropanol up to 99.9% or more.
