  • Patent number: 11964881
    Abstract: A method for making iridium oxide nanoparticles includes dissolving an iridium salt to obtain a salt-containing solution, mixing a complexing agent with the salt-containing solution to obtain a blend solution, and adding an oxidating agent to the blend solution to obtain a product mixture. A molar ratio of a complexing compound of the complexing agent to the iridium salt is controlled in a predetermined range so as to permit the product mixture to include iridium oxide nanoparticles.

  • Publication number: 20240128252
    Abstract: The present application discloses a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure a top die and a bottom die, and the maximum die size is constrained to reticle dimension. Each die includes (1) core: computation circuits, (2) phy: analog circuit connecting to memory, (3) I/O: analog circuit connecting output elements, (4) SERDES: serial high speed analog circuit, (5) intra-stack connection circuit, and (6) cache memory. This semiconductor structure can be chapleted design for high wafer yield with least tape out masks for cost saving. The intra-stack connection circuit connects the top die and the bottom die in the shortest distance (about tens of micrometers), so as to provide high signal quality and power efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20240120282
    Abstract: The present application discloses a semiconductor structure and methods for manufacturing semiconductor structures. The semiconductor structure includes a plurality of bottom dies and a top die stacked on the bottom dies. The bottom dies receive power supplies through tiny through silicon vias (TSVs) formed in backside substrates of the bottom dies, while the top die receives power supplies through dielectric vias (TDVs) formed in a dielectric layer that covers the bottom dies. By enabling backside power delivery to the bottom die, more space can be provided for trace routing between stacked dies. Therefore, greater computation capability can be achieved within a smaller chip area with less power loss.

  • Publication number: 20240113112
    Abstract: Methods of cutting gate structures and fins, and structures formed thereby, are described. In an embodiment, a substrate includes first and second fins and an isolation region. The first and second fins extend longitudinally parallel, with the isolation region disposed therebetween. A gate structure includes a conformal gate dielectric over the first fin and a gate electrode over the conformal gate dielectric. A first insulating fill structure abuts the gate structure and extends vertically from a level of an upper surface of the gate structure to at least a surface of the isolation region. No portion of the conformal gate dielectric extends vertically between the first insulating fill structure and the gate electrode. A second insulating fill structure abuts the first insulating fill structure and an end sidewall of the second fin. The first insulating fill structure is disposed laterally between the gate structure and the second insulating fill structure.

  • Patent number: 11948895
    Abstract: A semiconductor package structure includes a substrate having a wiring structure. A first semiconductor die is disposed over the substrate and is electrically coupled to the wiring structure. A second semiconductor die is disposed over the substrate and is electrically coupled to the wiring structure, wherein the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die are arranged side-by-side. Holes are formed on a surface of the substrate, wherein the holes are located within a projection of the first semiconductor die or the second semiconductor die on the substrate. Further, a molding material surrounds the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die, and surfaces of the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die facing away from the substrate are exposed by the molding material.
