  • Patent number: 9685402
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with composite bump structures over a surface of the semiconductor die. A conductive layer is formed over the substrate. The conductive layer has a channel in an interconnect site of the conductive layer. The channel extends beyond a footprint of the composite bump structures. The semiconductor die is disposed over the substrate. The bump material of the composite bump structures is melted. The composite bump structures are pressed over the interconnect site of the conductive layer so that the melted bump material flows into the channel. Electrical continuity between the composite bump structures and conductive layer is detected by a presence of the bump material in the channel. No electrical continuity between the composite bump structures and conductive layer is detected by an absence of the bump material in the channel. The electrical continuity can be detected by visual inspection or X-ray.

  • Patent number: 9263941
    Abstract: A resonant converter with power factor correction includes a power-obtaining circuit, an energy-storage element and an energy-transferred circuit. The power-obtaining circuit is used for receiving an input line voltage. The energy-storage element is coupled between the power-obtaining circuit and the energy-transferred circuit. The energy-transferred circuit is used for generating an output power. In a first time period, based on a first control signal, the energy-storage element and the power-obtaining circuit operate a soft switching so that the energy-storage element is charged to obtain the input line power and generate an energy-storage voltage. In a second time period, based on a second control signal, the energy-storage element and the energy-transferred circuit operate a soft switching so that the energy-storage element is discharged to make the energy-storage voltage converted into the output power.

  • Patent number: 8937463
    Abstract: A common-core power factor correction resonant converter includes an energy-transforming circuit. The energy-transforming circuit receives an input line voltage and generates an output power. The energy-transforming circuit includes a coupling inductor and a charge-storage capacitor. The coupling inductor and the charge-storage capacitor are charged by the input line voltage in response to a control signal, so as to generate a charge-storage capacitor voltage. When the charge-storage capacitor voltage is charged to a preset voltage level, the coupling inductor and the charge-storage capacitor are discharged according to the control signal. Then, the energy in the coupling inductor and the charge-storage capacitor is transformed to the output load and provide the output voltage or current regulation.
