  • 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.

    Abstract: A circuit and a method for evaluating a load condition in a flyback converter are disclosed. A first current source is used for providing a preset current ISUM equal to a sum of the off current value IOFF and the blanking current value ILEB to charge a first capacitor, and a second current source is used for providing a reference current IREF to charge a second capacitor. A comparator receives a voltage applied on the first capacitor at its positive input end and a voltage applied on the second capacitor at its negative input end. The output current transmitted to the load by the flyback converter is varied to the change of the preset current ISUM, as such the load condition is detected by the comparison result generated by the comparator.
