  • Patent number: 9691733
    Abstract: A bonded semiconductor structure includes a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate includes a first interconnection structure, a first dielectric layer, and a first silicon carbon nitride (SiCN) layer sequentially stacked thereon. And at least a first conductive pad is formed in the first dielectric layer and the first SiCN layer. The second substrate includes a second interconnection structure, a second dielectric layer, and a second SiCN layer sequentially stacked thereon. And at least a second conductive pad is formed in the second dielectric layer and the second SiCN layer. The first conductive pad physically contacts the second conductive pad, and the first SiCN layer physically contacts the second SiCN layer.

  • Publication number: 20160268230
    Abstract: A stacked semiconductor structure includes a first wafer, a second wafer, a first insulting layer, and a second insulating layer. The first wafer includes a first front surface, a first back surface, and a first interconnection structure. The first interconnection structure includes at least a first top metal layer exposed on the first front surface of the first wafer. The second wafer includes a second front surface, a second back surface, and a second interconnection structure. The second interconnection structure includes at least a second top metal layer exposed on the second front surface of the second wafer. The first insulating layer is formed on the first front surface of the first wafer, and the second insulating layer is formed on the second front surface of the second wafer. The first insulating layer and the second insulating layer contact each other.

  • Publication number: 20130112909
    Abstract: A highly efficient thermoelectric material with one end coated in silver adhesive and placed in a high temperature furnace to heat and diffuse the silver adhesive into the homogeneous thermoelectric material, thereby producing an non-uniform thermoelectric material one-side doped thermoelectric material. The non-uniform thermoelectric material one-side doped thermoelectric material is able to achieve a high thermoelectric figure of merit.
