Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a pad with high strength and bondability. In some embodiments, an integrated chip comprises a substrate, an interconnect structure, a pad, and a conductive structure. The interconnect structure adjoins the substrate and comprises wires and vias. The wires and the vias are stacked between the pad and the substrate. The conductive structure (e.g., a wire bond) extends through the substrate to the pad. By arranging the wires and the vias between the pad and the substrate, the pad may be inset into a passivation layer of the interconnect structure and the passivation layer may absorb stress on the pad. Further, the pad may contact the wires and the vias at a top wire level. A thickness of the top wire level may exceed a thickness of other wire levels, whereby the top wire level may be more tolerant to stress.

Abstract: A semantic map orientation device includes an image capturing device, a memory, and a processor. The memory stores map information, where the map information defines at least one zone in a space. The processor captures a semantic attribute list, where the semantic attribute list includes a plurality of object combinations and a plurality of spatial keywords, and the spatial keywords correspond to the object combinations respectively. The processor is configured to access the map information, control the image capturing device to capture image information corresponding to one of the at least one zone, and determine whether a plurality of objects captured in the image information matches one of the object combinations in the semantic attribute list. If the objects captured in the image information match the object combination, the processor classifies the zone into the spatial keyword corresponding to the object combination to update the map information.
