  • Publication number: 20240128216
    Abstract: A bonding structure that may be used to form 3D-IC devices is formed using first oblong bonding pads on a first substrate and second oblong bonding pads one a second substrate. The first and second oblong bonding pads are laid crosswise, and the bond is formed. Viewed in a first cross-section, the first bonding pad is wider than the second bonding pad. Viewed in a second cross-section at a right angle to the first, the second bonding pad is wider than the first bonding pad. Making the bonding pads oblong and angling them relative to one another reduces variations in bonding area due to shifts in alignment between the first substrate and the second substrate. The oblong shape in a suitable orientation may also be used to reduce capacitive coupling between one of the bonding pads and nearby wires.

  • Patent number: 11760190
    Abstract: An electric vehicle cooling system includes a vehicle control unit (VCU), a coolant pump controller, a motor controller, a motor, a vehicle charger, an electronic coolant pump, and a cooling plate. The electronic coolant pump, the vehicle charger, the motor controller, the motor, and the cooling plate are connected in sequence to form a closed coolant loop for a coolant. Either the VCU or the coolant pump controller of the electronic coolant pump can control the electronic coolant pump to switch between an idle mode and a normal mode according to a coolant temperature detected from the closed coolant loop. Under the normal mode, the VCU controls the electronic coolant pump to have an ideal pumping speed according to the coolant temperature detected from the closed coolant loop and a rotational speed of the motor, ensuring good cooling efficiency.
