  • Publication number: 20240098960
    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure in which a gate overlies channel region in an active area of a first transistor. The first transistor includes a channel region, a source region and a drain region. A conductive contact is coupled to the drain region of the first transistor. A second transistor that includes a channel region, a source region a drain region is adjacent to the first transistor. The gate of the second transistor is spaced from the gate of the first transistor. A conductive via passes through an insulation layer to electrically connect to the gate of the second transistor. An expanded conductive via overlays both the conductive contact and the conductive via to electrically connect the drain of the first transistor to the gate of the second transistor.

  • Patent number: 11923817
    Abstract: Methods of making packaged surface acoustic wave devices are provided. The method may include forming a photosensitive resin coat over a cavity-defining structure encapsulating a surface acoustic wave device. The photosensitive resin coat may be formed using a spin-coating process, and then patterned to form a desired shape. Portions of the photosensitive resin may be removed from areas near the edge of the die, to facilitate separation of a wafer into individual dies. The method may also include forming a conductive structure using a plating process, where the conductive structure is located between the resin coat and the cavity defining structure. The photosensitive resin can include a phenol resin. The packaged surface acoustic wave devices made using a photosensitive resin coat may be relatively thin, and may have a height of less than 220 micrometers.

  • Patent number: 11894824
    Abstract: Laser-marked packaged surface acoustic wave devices are provided. The laser-marked packaged surface acoustic wave device may include a package structure encapsulating a surface acoustic wave device on a first side of a piezoelectric substrate. The opposite side of the piezoelectric substrate can be directly marked using a laser. The laser may be a deep ultraviolet laser. By directly marking the piezoelectric substrate itself, the use of a separate marking film can be avoided, making the packaged surface acoustic wave device thinner. When the laser has a wavelength readily absorbed by the piezoelectric substrate, a relatively shallow marking may be made in the piezoelectric substrate. The markings can extend less than 1 micrometer into the piezoelectric substrate, so as not to affect the structural integrity of the piezoelectric substrate or the operation of the packaged surface acoustic wave device.

  • Patent number: 10920127
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for in-depth profile control and displacement of low-permeability oil reservoirs, comprising: sequentially injecting a flexible and elastic particle-containing pre-slug, a polymer microsphere-containing main slug and a flexible and elastic particle-containing protective slug into an oil layer, and the three slugs have a volume ratio of total injection amount of 1-2:6-8:1-2. The invention provides a method for in-depth profile control and displacement by using styrene-based flexible and elastic particles in combination with the polyacrylamide polymer microsphere, wherein the flexible elastic particles can block cracks and large pore channels of the oil layer, and the polymer microsphere can displace the remaining oil in the oil layer. In the present invention, different slugs of profile control and displacement system are combined to achieve the objective of blocking cracks and large pore channels, displacing crude oil, and improving oil well recovery.
