  • Patent number: 11848323
    Abstract: A semiconductor device assembly includes a substrate and a die coupled to the substrate. The die includes a first contact pad electrically coupled to a first circuit on the die including at least one active circuit element, and a second contact pad electrically coupled to a second circuit on the die including only passive circuit elements. The substrate includes a substrate contact electrically coupled to both the first and second contact pads. The semiconductor device assembly can further include a second die including a third contact pad electrically coupled to a third circuit on the second die including at least a second active circuit element, and a fourth contact pad electrically coupled to a fourth circuit on the second die including only passive circuit elements. The substrate contact can be electrically coupled to the third contact pad and electrically disconnected from the fourth contact pad.

  • Patent number: 11397147
    Abstract: A test device and method for top-of-the-line corrosion (TLC) of a high-temperature high-pressure wet gas pipeline. The device mainly includes: a metal top cap, a metal reaction cylinder, a first thermometer, a second thermometer, a plastic transparent measuring cylinder, a condensed water collection tube, an atomic spectrometer, a third thermometer, a rubber seal cover, a condensate droplet, a threaded hole, a condensation chamber, a pipeline sample, a temperature measuring hole, and a 30-degree tilt angle. The device and method can effectively simulate TLC of a wet gas pipeline under a high-temperature high-pressure environment. The device and method can test the high-temperature high-pressure TLC of the wet gas pipeline under different temperature differences (between a surface temperature of the pipeline and a gas temperature) and various corrosion media.
