  • Patent number: 7012259
    Abstract: A structure of a TFT substrate for a high resolution digital x-ray detector, in which two TFT substrates are arranged to be a double substrate by overlapping each other such that an upper plate is moved ½ pixel distance with respect to a lower plate in a direction along one axis. Thus, a difference in movement between the upper and lower plates is a ½ pixel distance. Also, two virtual pixels are obtained from one pixel. Three TFT substrates are arranged to be a triple substrate by overlapping one another such that a middle plate is moved a ½ pixel distance with respect to a lower plate in a direction along an X axis and an uppermost plate is arranged by being moved a ½ pixel distance with respect to the lower plate in a direction along a Y axis. Thus, resolution is increased as data of one pixel is divided into four data to be analyzed and an measured value of a pixel of each overlapping substrate is compared.

  • Publication number: 20060049528
    Abstract: Semiconductor chip stack structure and method are provided. A first chip has a first metal bump formed on a first electrode pad. The first chip is attached to and electrically connected to a substrate. The electrical connection is made by a bump reverse bonding method in which one end of a bonding wire is ball-bonded to the substrate and the other end is stitch-bonded to the metal bump. The second chip is stacked on the first chip. The bonding wire is substantially parallel with a top surface of the first chip. Accordingly, the chip stack structure and method minimize a space between the first chip and the second chip, thereby reducing the total height of semiconductor chip stack.
