  • Publication number: 20250089174
    Abstract: In-situ fabrication of tamper-respondent sensors with random security circuit patterns is provided. The method includes establishing a random security circuit pattern for fabricating a security circuit of a tamper-respondent sensor to enclose, at least in part, one or more components within a secure volume. The establishing includes generating a trace pattern extending once through nodes of a plurality of nodes dispersed within an area of the tamper-respondent sensor, and randomly modifying the trace pattern to produce a randomly modified trace pattern with a desired randomization index relative to a specified randomization threshold, and providing the randomly modified trace pattern as a random security circuit pattern. Further, the method includes initiating fabricating of the tamper-respondent sensor in-situ on a surface of an enclosure to facilitate defining the secure volume, with the fabricating using the random security circuit pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240347497
    Abstract: Semiconductor structures are provided with five different cooling elements directly bonded to a semiconductor chip. The cooling element is directly bonded to the backside of a thinned semiconductor substrate or to the front side back-end-of-line (BEOL) interconnect wiring of the semiconductor chip. The cooling element replaces a carrier wafer on semiconductor chips with backside BEOL interconnect wiring. Each of the five cooling elements provide better thermal conductivity for the semiconductor structure when directly bonded to the front side BEOL interconnect wiring than the carrier wafer typically bonded to a semiconductor chip with backside BEOL interconnect wiring. The cooling element is one of a copper cooling element with water-filled microchannels, or a copper plate, a silicon cooling element with water-filled microchannels, a silicon carbide plate, or a glass plate with copper-filled vias. The cooling element is directly bonded to the semiconductor chip by a hybrid bond.

  • Patent number: 12024935
    Abstract: A refrigerator, comprising an automatic door-opening/closing apparatus mounted on a refrigerator body for driving the opening and closing of a door. When opening the door, if a first obstacle detecting apparatus detects the presence of an obstacle in front of the door, then the automatic door opening/closing apparatus stops the opening of the door; when closing the door, if a second obstacle detection apparatus detects the presence of an obstacle behind the door, then the automatic door-opening/closing apparatus stops the closing of the door. This stops the movement of the door upon the discovery of an obstacle while opening or closing the door, thus preventing the door from being damaged by collision, and when the obstacle is a person, preventing physical injuries from being caused.

  • Patent number: 11569181
    Abstract: Moisture-driven degradation of a crack stop in a semiconductor die is mitigated by forming a groove in an upper surface of the die between an edge of the die and the crack stop; entirely filling the groove with a moisture barrier material; preventing moisture penetration of the semiconductor die by presence of the moisture barrier material; and dissipating mechanical stress in the moisture barrier material without presenting a stress riser in the bulk portion of the die. The moisture barrier material is at least one of moisture-absorbing, moisture adsorbing, and hydrophobic.

The interposer can have a second pitch wiring density different from the first pitch wiring density. A layer of non-conductive film can be situated between the interposer and the surface of the substrate. A planarization process can be performed on a surface of the substrate. A solder resist patterning can be performed on the planarized surface the substrate. A solder reflow and coining process can be performed to form a layer of solder bumps on top of the planarized surface of the substrate. The interposer can provide bridge connection between at least two die disposed above the substrate. Solder bumps under the interposer electrically connect the substrate and the interposer.
