  • Patent number: 9406629
    Abstract: A semiconductor package structure includes a first semiconductor substrate including a conductive pad; and a conductive pillar on the conductive pad and disposed between the first semiconductor substrate and a second semiconductor substrate. The conductive pad is coupled with a circuitry of the first semiconductor substrate. The conductive pillar extends along a longitudinal axis and toward the second semiconductor substrate. The conductive pillar includes a sidewall with a rough surface notching toward the longitudinal axis.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9373598
    Abstract: A die includes a substrate, a metal pad over the substrate, and a passivation layer covering edge portions of the metal pad. A metal pillar is formed over the metal pad. A portion of the metal pillar overlaps a portion of the metal pad. A center of the metal pillar is misaligned with a center of the metal pad.

  • Publication number: 20150247744
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a high-temperature-resistant metal-packaged fiber Bragg grating sensor includes using a regenerated fiber Bragg grating obtained via high-temperature annealing as a sensitive element so that the grating will not be erased when used at high temperature. The method also includes using a magnetron sputtering method which makes an optical fiber and metal combine better to form on the surface of the optical fiber an adhesive layer and a conductive layer, thereby causing little damage to optical fiber because of the absence of the processes of coarsening, sensitization, etc. of electroless plating and the fact that the method is performed in an anhydrous environment. After magnetron sputtering, the method includes using an electroplating method to thicken and deposit a protective layer, and embedding the optical fiber in a flexible-structure metallic substrate through the electroplating method to achieve the all-metal package.
