  • Publication number: 20240128157
    Abstract: A method includes forming a set of through-vias in a substrate, the set of through-vias partially penetrating a thickness of the substrate. First connectors are formed over the set of through-vias on a first side of the substrate. The first side of the substrate is attached to a carrier. The substrate is thinned from the second side to expose the set of through-vias. Second connectors are formed over the set of through-vias on the second side of the substrate. A device die is bonded to the second connectors. The substrate is singulated into multiple packages.

  • Patent number: 11946300
    Abstract: A lever-operated latch device includes an assembly of a case body, an actuation body mounted on the case body, a linking member and a slide body. The actuation body has a free end and a pivoted end pivotally connected with the case body in cooperation with elastic members. The free end of the actuation body is formed with two protruding arms and an opening section positioned between the protruding arms. An operation section is disposed in the opening section. The linking member has a first end pivotally connected with the free end of the actuation body (or the operation section) and a second end connected with the slide body. When an operator presses the operation section, the actuation body is permitted to move from a closed position to an opened position so as to drive the linking member and the slide body to move.

  • Publication number: 20240087964
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting an endpoint of a grinding process includes a connecting device, a timer and a controller. The connecting device is connected to a sensor that periodically senses an interface of a reconstructed wafer comprising a plurality of dies of at least two types to generate a thickness signal comprising thicknesses from a surface of an insulating layer of the reconstructed wafer to the interface of the reconstructed wafer. The timer is configured to generate a clock signal having a plurality of pulses with a time interval. The controller is coupled to the sensor and the timer, and configured to filter the thickness signal according to the clock signal to output a thickness extremum among the thicknesses in the thickness signal within each time interval, wherein the thickness signal after the filtering is used to determine the endpoint of the grinding process being performed on the reconstructed wafer.

  • Patent number: 11922887
    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels. Each pixel in the array includes an organic light-emitting diode coupled to associated thin-film transistors. The diode may be coupled to drive transistor circuitry, a data loading transistor, and emission transistors. The drive transistor circuitry may include at least two transistor portions connected in series. The data loading transistor has a drain region connected to a data line and a source region connected directly to the drive transistor circuitry. The data line may be connected to and overlap the drain region of the data loading transistor. The data line and the source region of the data loading transistor are non-overlapping to reduce row-to-row crosstalk.

  • Patent number: 10965306
    Abstract: A successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter includes a comparator circuit, a capacitor group, an additional capacitor and a control circuit. The comparator circuit compares voltages at first and second input terminals thereof to generate a comparison result. The capacitor group and the additional capacitor are coupled to the first input terminal. The control circuit controls voltages of capacitors of the capacitor group according to the comparison result. In a first period, the control circuit provides a first voltage to the first input terminal and the additional capacitor, and provides an analog signal to the capacitors. In a second period, the control circuit stops providing the first voltage and controls a specific capacitor of the capacitor group to enter into a floating state. In a third period, the control circuit provides a second voltage to the additional capacitor. The second voltage is lower than the first voltage.
