  • Patent number: 11935893
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of standard cells. The plurality of standard cells include a first group of standard cells arranged in a first row extending in a row direction and a second group of standard cells arranged in a second row extending in the row direction. The first group of standard cells and the second group of standard cells are arranged in a column direction. A cell height of the first group of standard cells in the column direction is different from a cell height of the second group of standard cells in the column direction.

  • Publication number: 20240088024
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a transistor layer, a first via layer over the transistor layer, a first metallization layer over the first via layer, the first metallization layer including first conductors having long axes extending substantially in a first direction, a second via layer over the first metallization layer, and a conductive deep via extending in the second via layer, the first metallization layer, and the first via layer. The first conductors represent a majority of conductive material in the first metallization layer, and a size of the deep via in the first direction in the first metallization layer is substantially less than a minimum length of the first conductors in the first metallization layer.

  • Patent number: 8878064
    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) includes a main portion and a number of interfaces connected to the main portion. The main portion incorporates a low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) cable and at least one function cable. The main portion includes a first connecting strip, a second connecting strip, and a third connecting strip, which are all connected together at one end. The interfaces includes a first interface connected to the first connecting strip, a second interface connected to the second connecting strip, and a third interface connected to the third connecting strip. The first interface incorporates a LVDS interface and a function module interface. The second interface is a LVDS interface. The third interface is a function module interface.
