  • Patent number: 12002774
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) comprising an enhanced passivation scheme for pad openings and trenches is provided. In some embodiments, an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer covers a substrate and at least partially defines a trench. The trench extends through the ILD layer from a top of the ILD layer to the substrate. A conductive pad overlies the ILD layer. A first passivation layer overlies the ILD layer and the conductive pad, and further defines a pad opening overlying the conductive pad. A second passivation layer overlies the ILD layer, the conductive pad, and the first passivation layer, and further lines sidewalls of the first passivation layer in the pad opening and sidewalls of the ILD layer in the trench. Further, the second passivation layer has a low permeability for moisture or vapor relative to the ILD layer.

  • Publication number: 20240077656
    Abstract: An imaging lens assembly includes a first optical element and a low-reflection layer. The first optical element has a central opening, and includes a first surface, a second surface and a first outer diameter surface. The first outer diameter surface is connected to the first surface and the second surface. The low-reflection layer is located on at least one of the first surface and the second surface, and includes a carbon black layer, a nano-microstructure and a coating layer. The nano-microstructure is directly contacted with and connected to the carbon black layer, and the nano-microstructure is farther from the first optical element than the carbon black layer from the first optical element. The coating layer is directly contacted with and connected to the nano-microstructure, and the coating layer is farther from the first optical element than the nano-microstructure from the first optical element.

  • Patent number: 9720821
    Abstract: An adaptive compression data storing method for non-volatile memories and a system using the method are disclosed. The system includes a host interface unit, a data compressor, a padding unit, a buffer, a combining unit, and a mapping table unit. By combining some compressed data in one page, the present invention can settle the problem that space for storing a compressed data that can not be utilized. Further, lifetime of non-volatile memories can be extended.

  • Publication number: 20050130275
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing enzymatically debranched starch by mixing natural starch, water and polyalcohol to form a starch mixture, adding ?-1,6-D-glucanohydrolase to debranch the natural starch under 50˜70° C., and terminating the debranching reaction by increasing the temperature of starch mixture. The process of this invention can achieve the purpose of degrading starch to lower molecular weight, while raising amylose content of starch so that the plasticity of starch is increased.
