  • Publication number: 20210321546
    Abstract: A heat dissipating module includes a heat dissipating substrate, a first structural plate, and a first heat conductive plate. The heat dissipating substrate has an inlet, an outlet, and a first container formed on a top surface of the heat dissipating substrate. The inlet and the outlet are communicated with the first container respectively. The first structural plate has a first channel member and is contained in the first container. The first channel member is communicated with the inlet and the outlet respectively. Heat dissipating liquid flows through the first channel member via the inlet, and flows out of the heat dissipating module via the outlet. The first heat conductive plate covers the first structural plate. The first heat conductive plate is in contact with a heat generating member for conducting heat energy generated by the heat generating member to the heat dissipating liquid.

  • Publication number: 20210296401
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards an integrated chip comprising memory cells separated by a void-free dielectric structure. In some embodiments, a pair of memory cell structures is formed on a via dielectric layer, where the memory cell structures are separated by an inter-cell area. An inter-cell filler layer is formed covering the memory cell structures and the via dielectric layer, and further filling the inter-cell area. The inter-cell filler layer is recessed until a top surface of the inter-cell filler layer is below a top surface of the pair of memory cell structures and the inter-cell area is partially cleared. An interconnect dielectric layer is formed covering the memory cell structures and the inter-cell filler layer, and further filling a cleared portion of the inter-cell area.

  • Patent number: 11094744
    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an integrated chip. The method may be performed by forming a memory device over a substrate and forming an inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer over the memory device. The ILD layer is selectively etched to define a first cavity that exposes a top of the memory device and to define a second cavity that is laterally separated from the first cavity by the ILD layer. The second cavity is defined by a smooth sidewall of the ILD layer that extends between upper and lower surfaces of the ILD layer. A conductive material is formed within the first cavity and the second cavity.

  • Patent number: 11073338
    Abstract: A liquid-cooled heat dissipation device is disclosed, comprising a main body, a centrifugal pump, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The main body comprises liquid flow channels and liquid storage tanks. The liquid flow channels are circumferentially arranged and spaced apart. The liquid storage tanks are located on both sides of the main body, and the liquid storage tanks on the same side are connected by liquid flow channels. The centrifugal pump is installed in one of the liquid storage tanks. The inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are in spatial communication with the other two liquid storage tanks, respectively. The centrifugal pump guides a cooling liquid through the inlet pipe, main body and outlet pipe. The cooling liquid travel through the liquid storage tanks via the liquid flow channels and forms radial jet flows after being pumped by centrifugal pump.

  • Patent number: 11075351
    Abstract: A packaging structure with groove includes a substrate, a lower conductive layer, an optical element, a sealing layer and a barrier layer. The lower conductive layer is arranged on one face of the substrate. The optical element is arranged on one face of the lower conductive layer. The upper conductive layer is arranged on one face of the optical element. The packaging structure further comprises a groove defined on an inactive area of the optical element. The sealing layer is arranged on one face of the optical element and on one face of the upper conductive layer. The barrier layer is arranged on one face of the sealing layer. Because the groove is formed on inactive area of the optical element to enhance lateral sealing tightness, extended interface is provided between sealing layer/barrier layer and the substrate, thus enhance the water-resistant and gas-resistant property for package.
