  • Publication number: 20150294950
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for ternary wafer bonding and the structure thereof. According to the present invention, silver island structures in the second bonding layer are distributed on the first bonding layer deposited on the surface of a single silicon wafer for forming a gold-silver combination structure, which is then bonded with another silicon wafer without any metal layers thereon at a low-temperature thermal process of 250° C. for completing gold-silver-silicon ternary wafer bonding. Thus, the temperature required for gold-silicon bonding is lowered and the process of wafer bonding is simplified as well. In addition, the quality of wafer bonding is also assured.

  • Publication number: 20080218495
    Abstract: A circuit capable of selectively operating in an inspecting mode or a driving mode for a display is formed in an integrated circuit and on a glass substrate. The circuit in the IC has a control circuit, a first input circuit, a second input circuit and a fourth input circuit. Each input circuit has a switch. Two additional switches are respectively connected between the first and the second input circuits, and between the second and the fourth input circuits. The glass substrate forms multiple connecting terminals corresponding to the input circuits. Two connecting terminals on the glass substrate are shorted. The control circuit outputs a signal to control all switches to form a configuration suitable for inspecting mode. When inspecting processes are completed, the control circuit changes the configuration for driving mode. The junction resistance of the display is precisely measured and areas in the IC are effectively used.

  • Patent number: 7203264
    Abstract: A high-stability shift circuit using amorphous silicon thin film transistors, which utilizes two out-of-phase pulses to control the operating mechanism and the bias-relations among transistors in the shift circuit. This makes the transistors under the driving conditions of positive/negative-alternating biases so as to restrain the voltage shift of the transistors such that the threshold voltage will not excessively increase along with the increasing operating time. This can not only increase the lifetime of the amorphous silicon thin film transistors but also extend the operating time of the shift circuit.
