Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a passivation layer defining a metal pattern on a first surface of a substrate, an inter-layer insulating layer disposed on a second surface of the substrate, and a piezoelectric pattern formed between the metal pattern and the passivation layer on the first surface of the substrate. A through-silicon-via and/or a pad can be directly bonded to another through-silicon-via and/or another pad by applying pressure only, and without performing a heat process.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus relating to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate than that of a 4G communication system, such as long term evolution (LTE). A method for processing traffic at a core network entity processes traffic includes transmitting a message for requesting assistance information to at least one base station, receiving the assistance information from the at least one base station, splitting the traffic based on the received assistance information, and transmitting the split traffic through a core network. A core network entity includes a transceiver and a processor configured to control the transceiver to transmit a message for requesting assistance information to at least one base station, receive the assistance information from the at least one base station, split traffic based on the received assistance information, and transmit data through the split traffic.
Abstract:
Semiconductor devices may include a semiconductor substrate with a first semiconductor fin aligned end-to-end with a second semiconductor with a recess between facing ends of the first and second semiconductor fins. A first insulator pattern is formed adjacent sidewalls of the first and second semiconductor fins and a second insulator pattern is formed within the first recess. The second insulator pattern may have a top surface higher than a top surface of the first insulator pattern, such as to the height of the top surface of the fins (or higher or lower). First and second gates extend along sidewalls and a top surface of the first semiconductor fin. A dummy gate electrode may be formed on the top surface of the second insulator. Methods for manufacture of the same and modifications are also disclosed.
