Abstract:
The present invention provides a breakdown resistant transistor structure for amplifying communication signals. This structure includes a first NMOS transistor having a source connected to ground and a first gate for receiving the input radio frequency signal. The first gate is disposed above a first insulator and the first NMOS transistor having a first transconductance and a first breakdown voltage associated therewith. Also included is a second NMOS transistor having a source connected to the drain of the first NMOS transistor, a gate connected to the reference DC voltage, and a drain that provides the output for the amplified radio signal, the load being disposed between the reference DC voltage and the drain of the second NMOS transistor. The second gate is disposed above a second insulator, the second NMOS transistor has a second transconductance and a second breakdown voltage associated therewith, and the second insulator may be thicker than the first insulator. This results in the first transconductance being greater than the second transconductance, and the second breakdown voltage being greater than the first breakdown voltage.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor component (86) with a through wire interconnect (102) includes the step of providing a substrate (54) having a circuit side (62), a back side (64), and a through via (76). The method also includes the steps of: threading a wire (14) through the via (76), forming a contact (90) on the wire (14) on the back side (64), forming a bonded contact (92) on the wire (14) on the circuit side (62), and then severing the wire (14) from the bonded contact (92). The through wire interconnect includes (102) the wire (14) in the via (76), the contact (90) on the back side (64) and the bonded contact (92) on the circuit side (62). The contact (90) on the back side (64), and the bonded contact (92) on the circuit side (62), permit multiple components (86-1, 86-2, 86-3) to be stacked with electrical connections (170) between adjacent components. A system (120) for performing the method includes the substrate (54) with the via (76), and a wire bonder (10) having a bonding capillary (12) configured to thread the wire (14) through the via (76), and form the contact (90) and the bonded contact (92). The semiconductor component (86) can be used to form chip scale components, wafer scale components, stacked components (146), or interconnect components (861) for electrically engaging or testing other semiconductor components (156).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a light emitting device package and a method for manufacturing the same. The present invention has advantages in that a light emitting device is electrically connected to other devices without use of wire bonding, thereby saving a space for wire bonding and reducing the size of a package. The present invention has advantages in that there is no wire in a light emitting device by using a conductive interconnection portion so that a phosphor can be easily and uniformly applied, and an area where vertically emitted light is absorbed can be reduced so that light extraction of a device can be enhanced.

Abstract:
There is provided a Cu bonding wire having a Pd coating layer on a surface thereof, that improves bonding reliability of a ball bonded part in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment and is suitable for on-vehicle devices. The bonding wire for a semiconductor device includes a Cu alloy core material and a Pd coating layer formed on a surface of the Cu alloy core material, and the bonding wire contains In of 0.011 to 1.2% by mass and has the Pd coating layer of a thickness of 0.015 to 0.150 µm. With this configuration, it is able to increase the bonding longevity of a ball bonded part in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, and thus to improve the bonding reliability. When the Cu alloy core material contains one or more elements of Pt, Pd, Rh and Ni in an amount, for each element, of 0.05 to 1.2% by mass, it is able to increase the reliability of a ball bonded part in a high-temperature environment of 175°C or more. When an Au skin layer is further formed on a surface of the Pd coating layer, wedge bondability improves.
