  • Publication number: 20240136346
    Abstract: A semiconductor die package includes an inductor-capacitor (LC) semiconductor die that is directly bonded with a logic semiconductor die. The LC semiconductor die includes inductors and capacitors that are integrated into a single die. The inductors and capacitors of the LC semiconductor die may be electrically connected with transistors and other logic components on the logic semiconductor die to form a voltage regulator circuit of the semiconductor die package. The integration of passive components (e.g., the inductors and capacitors) of the voltage regulator circuit into a single semiconductor die reduces signal propagation distances in the voltage regulator circuit, which may increase the operating efficiency of the voltage regulator circuit, may reduce the formfactor for the semiconductor die package, may reduce parasitic capacitance and/or may reduce parasitic inductance in the voltage regulator circuit (thereby improving the performance of the voltage regulator circuit), among other examples.

  • Patent number: 11933309
    Abstract: A method for controlling a fan in a fan start-up stage including a first time period and a second time period comprises the following steps of: during the first time period, continuously providing a first driving signal to drive the fan; and during the second time period, continuously providing a second driving signal to drive the fan; wherein, the signal value of the first driving signal gradually decreases until being equal to the signal value of the second driving signal. Wherein the signal value of the first driving signal non-linearly decreases, the signal value of the second driving signal is an unchanged value. Wherein, the first time period and the second time period are adjusted for a different fan but the sum of the first time period and the second time period is always the same. A fan is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20190249298
    Abstract: The present invention provides a film forming apparatus capable of enabling source gases to isotropically flow and reducing the size of its chamber. When a susceptor with substrate holders containing substrates moves downward, the substrate holders are combined with a clutch mechanism. When a driving motor runs, a rotating shaft conformably rotates. The rotation is transmitted to a central gear through the clutch mechanism so as to rotate the central gear. Thus, the substrate holder whose peripheral surface is engaged with the center gear accordingly rotates so as to rotate the substrates. When the driving motor runs, a revolving shaft conformably rotates. The rotation is transmitted to the susceptor through a revolving clutch mechanism so as to rotate the susceptor and revolve the substrates. Process gases are fed via an inlet so that expected films are formed on the substrates when the substrates are at rotation and revolution statuses.
