  • Publication number: 20220262755
    Abstract: Achieving homogeneous and heterogeneous integration for 2.5D and 3D integrated circuit, chip-to-wafer, chip-to-substrate, or wafer-to-wafer bonding is an essential technology. The landing wafer or substrate is bonded with a carrier by using a temporary bonding material before thinning the landing wafer to the desired thickness. Upon completion of redistribution layer formation, Cu pad formation, or other backside processing, dies or wafers with through-silicon vias are stacked onto the landing substrate before molding and singulation. As the landing wafer usually has interconnection metals in the bond line, and those interconnection metals are typically made from lead-free solder alloys, deformation of those solder alloys during thermocompression bonding becomes an issue for manufacturers. To address this issue, a polymeric material with desired strengths is coated on the device wafer to form a conformal protective layer on top of solder alloys, thus enabling temporary bonding and debonding processes.

  • Patent number: 11408512
    Abstract: A magnetic fluid sealing device, includes first pole teeth and a first magnetic fluid adsorbed on the first pole teeth functioning as a first line of defense for sealing, as well as second pole teeth and a second magnetic fluid adsorbed on the second pole teeth functioning as a second line of defense for sealing. The second pole teeth of the magnetic fluid sealing device are arranged on the permanent magnet or the flux sleeve. Since the flux sleeve is fitted over the permanent magnet, the arrangement of the second pole teeth can ensure the ability of the pole shoe to absorb the magnetic fluid, and also can make full use of a length of the permanent magnet in the axial direction of the rotating shaft. Therefore, the magnetic fluid sealing device is effectively improved in the sealing effect and the pressure resistance without increasing its axial length.

  • Patent number: 11400944
    Abstract: Embodiments and examples are disclosed for intelligent vehicle diagnostics using driving behavior modeling and monitoring. For one example, a data processing system for a vehicle includes a plurality of sensors and a vehicle control unit (VCU). The VCU may sample the output from each of the plurality of sensors and assemble a dataset which may be transmitted to a cloud computing center. The cloud computing center may apply statistical machine learning algorithms to the dataset and training data to develop a model of a user's expected driving behavior. The cloud computing center may transmit the model to the vehicle, wherein the VCU may utilize the model to monitor the user's driving behavior. In response to detecting driving behavior that is anomalous to the expected driving behavior, the VCU may diagnose the cause of the anomalous behavior and take one or more preventative actions based on the diagnosis.

  • Patent number: 11384421
    Abstract: A method for producing a sputtered stoichiometric a-Al2O3 thin film. A substrate is placed into a chamber containing an Al target to be sputtered. The chamber is evacuated to a base pressure of about 7×10?8 Torr or lower and the temperature of the substrate is maintained. With a sputtering shutter in the chamber closed, Ar gas is flowed into the chamber to backsputter the Al target and Ar and O2 gases are flowed into the chamber to presputter the target. The shutter is opened and Al is sputtered onto the substrate in the presence of the Ar and O2 gases to obtain a sputtered a-Al2O3 film on the substrate.
