178 results about "Front end of line" patented technology

The front-end-of-line (FEOL) is the first portion of IC fabrication where the individual devices (transistors, capacitors, resistors, etc.) are patterned in the semiconductor. FEOL generally covers everything up to (but not including) the deposition of metal interconnect layers.

3D silicon-silicon die stack structure and method for fine pitch interconnection and vertical heat transport

A method of fabricating a thin wafer die includes creating circuits and front-end-of-line wiring on a silicon wafer, drilling holes in a topside of the wafer, depositing an insulator on the drilled holes surface to provide a dielectric insulator, removing any excess surface deposition from the surface, putting a metal fill into the holes to form through-silicon-vias (TSV), creating back-end-of-line wiring and pads on the top surface for interconnection, thinning down the wafer to expose the insulator in from the TSVs to adapt the TSVs to be contacted from a backside of the wafer, depositing an insulating layer which contacts the TSV dielectric, thinning down the backside of the wafer, opening through the dielectric to expose the conductor of the TSV to provide a dielectric insulation about exposed backside silicon, and depositing ball limiting metallurgy pads and solder bumps on the backside of the wafer to form an integrated circuit.

Apparatus and method for forming a battery in an integrated circuit

A method and structure that provides a battery within an integrated circuit for providing voltage to low-current electronic devices that exist within the integrated circuit. The method includes Front-End-Of-Line (FEOL) processing for generating a layer of electronic devices on a semiconductor wafer, followed by Back-End-Of-Line (BEOL) integration for wires connecting the electronic devices together to form completed electrical circuits of the integrated circuit. The BEOL integration includes forming a multilayered structure of wiring levels on the layer of electronic devices. Each wiring level includes conductive metallization (e.g., metal-plated vias, conductive wiring lines, etc.) embedded in insulative material. The battery is formed during BEOL integration within one or more wiring levels, and the conductive metallization conductively couples positive and negative terminals of the battery to the electronic devices. The battery may have several different topologies relative to the structural and geometrical relationships among the battery electrodes and electrolyte. Multiple batteries may be formed within one or more wiring levels, and may be conductively coupled to the electronic devices. The multiple batteries may be connected in series or in parallel.

Cable end connector assembly and the method of making the same

A cable end connector assembly (1) includes a dielectric housing (2), a plurality of contact units (3), a plurality of wires (6), and a cover (5). The housing includes an upper wall (20), a lower wall (21), and a pair of sidewalls (251, 252) connecting the upper and lower walls. Each contact unit comprises at least one mating portion (32) and a tail portion (33) opposite to the mating portion and extending beyond a rear face of the housing. The tail portion has a U-shaped configuration. Each wire comprises a conductive core (60) received in corresponding U-shaped tail portion and soldered with the tail portion to form electrical connection therebetween. The cover is over-molded with a rear end (26) of the housing and covers front ends of the wires and the tail portions of the contact units to protect the electrical connection between the wires and the contact units.

Heat exchange plate with streamline structure, and printed circuit board heat exchanger with same

The invention provides a heat exchange plate with a streamline structure, and a printed circuit board heat exchanger with same. The first segment of the upper arc and the first segment of the lower arc of a streamline rib extend to the position of a maximum incircle from the front edge of a wing form, each first segment is a convex smooth curve, the rear end of each convex smooth curve is in tangency with the maximum incircle, second segments extend to the rear edge of the wing form from the maximum incircle, each second segment is a concave smooth curve, the front end of each concave smooth curve is in tangency with the maximum incircle, and a smooth continuous curve is formed by each first segment and the corresponding second segment at the position of the maximum incircle. According tothe heat exchange plate with a streamline structure, and the printed circuit board heat exchanger with same, because the original structure of a wing-shaped rib is redesigned and optimized, when heatexchange fluid flows through wing-shaped ribs, changes between the front part and the rear part of the maximum width of a wing-shaped rib happen more violently, and the heat exchange performance of awing-shaped channel is improved; and because structural design is carried out on the front edge and the rear edge of a wing form, the heat exchange fluid can be guided to flow better, and therefore, the pressure drop loss of the wing-shaped channels is reduced.
