  • Publication number: 20240105659
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming a redistribution layer (RDL) over a semiconductor die. A portion of the RDL contacts a die pad of the semiconductor die. A metal layer is formed on a top surface and sidewalls of the RDL and configured to encase the RDL. A non-conductive layer is formed over the metal layer and underlying RDL. An opening in the non-conductive layer is formed exposing a portion of the metal layer formed on the RDL. An under-bump metallization (UBM) is formed in the opening and conductively connected to the die pad by way of the metal layer and RDL.

  • Publication number: 20230378106
    Abstract: An electronic device substrate with a substantially planar surface formed from an electrically non-conductive material is provided with one or more metalized pads on the substantially planner surface. Each of the one or more metalized pads is surrounded by and coplanar with the first electrically nonconductive material along an outer boundary of the metalized pad. The metalized pad is patterned such that portions of the metalized pad form metalized fingers that extend radially from the outer boundary of the metalized pad in an interdigitated arrangement with the first electrically nonconductive material. The metalized pad has a solderable surface.

  • Patent number: 11640947
    Abstract: A packaging semiconductor device, such as a fan-out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP) device, is fabricated by providing a semiconductor device (20) having conductive patterns (22) disposed on a first surface and then forming, on the conductive patterns, photoresist islands (24) having a first predetermined shape defined by a first critical width dimension and a minimum height dimension so that a subsequently-formed dielectric polymer layer (26) surrounds but does not cover each photoresist island (24), thereby allowing each photoresist island to be selectively removed from the one or more conductive patterns to form one or more via openings (28) in the dielectric polymer layer such that each via opening has a second predetermined shape which matches at least part of the first predetermined shape of the photoresist islands.

  • Patent number: 11625729
    Abstract: A server receives target data sent by a mobile terminal, the target data carrying a parameter set, the parameter set including at least a target posture parameter of the mobile terminal. When the amount of change in posture variation is smaller than the preset variation threshold, such fact indicates that the posture when the mobile terminal sends the target data hardly changes compared with the postures that the mobile terminal historically sends the target data to the server. As the posture of the mobile terminal is frequently changed during the process of normal use of the mobile terminal, the target data sent by the mobile terminal without posture change is regarded as false data. Thus, the present techniques ensure the fairness and efficiency of data processing.

  • Patent number: 10124057
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for enabling ducklings to quickly produce anti-avian influenza antibodies and maintain antibody titer, including: step 1) the first immunization is performed on ducklings at the age of 5 to 15 days: each duckling is inoculated with an avian influenza inactivated antigen in an abdomen, and simultaneously intramuscularly or subcutaneously immunized with an avian influenza inactivated oil-emulsion vaccine. In the method, through the double effects of intraperitoneal inoculation with the inactivated antigen and intramuscular or subcutaneous injection with the inactivated oil-emulsion vaccine on the ducklings, the ducklings can quickly produce an immune response so as to quickly produce the anti-avian influenza antibodies; and the immune dead time of the ducklings immunized with the avian influenza inactivated vaccine can be effectively reduced by more than 7 days.
