摘要:
A through silicon via reaching a pad from a second surface of a semiconductor substrate is formed. A penetration space in the through silicon via is formed of a first hole and a second hole with a diameter smaller than that of the first hole. The first hole is formed from the second surface of the semiconductor substrate to the middle of the interlayer insulating film. Further, the second hole reaching the pad from the bottom of the first hole is formed. Then, the interlayer insulating film formed on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate has a step shape reflecting a step difference between the bottom surface of the first hole and the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. More specifically, the thickness of the interlayer insulating film between the bottom surface of the first hole and the pad is smaller than that in other portions.

A micro pump is made compact and can prevent members constituting the micro pump from being chemically reacted with a working fluid, and a method of producing the same. After each of substrates constituting the micro pump is formed by a member containing a silicone as a main composition and a plurality of metal membranes are formed on a whole of a bonding surface of each of the substrates so as to form bonding surfaces, the bonding surfaces are cleaned, and the bonding surfaces are opposed to each other under a vacuum condition, overlapped, heated and pressed so as to be bonded. The valve portion has a beam and a protrusion for sealing as provided in the valve side, whereby a pressure applied to the protrusion becomes smaller than the bonding pressure.

In a semiconductor device in which a plurality of semiconductor chips are stacked, performance is enhanced without deteriorating productivity. The semiconductor device has a plurality of elements, an interlayer insulating film, a pad, and a bump electrode electrically connected with the pad sequentially formed on a main surface of a silicon substrate and has a back-surface electrode formed on a back surface of the silicon substrate and electrically connected with the bump electrode. The bump electrode has a protruding portion penetrating through the pad and protruding toward the silicon substrate side. The back-surface electrode is formed so as to reach the protruding portion of the bump electrode from the back surface side of the silicon substrate toward the main surface side and to cover the inside of a back-surface electrode hole portion which does not reach the pad, so that the back-surface electrode is electrically connected with the bump electrode.

An information processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to receive first PDL data including a first bookmark and a second bookmark from a user, create a first node mapped to a page which is the reference of the first bookmark and a second node mapped to a page which is the reference of the second bookmark, and create second PDL data having a hierarchical structure for the pages by including the first node and the second node. The first bookmark is different from the second bookmark, the first node is different from the second node, and the first PDL data is different from the second PDL data wherein the second PDL data includes the page which is the reference of the first bookmark and the page which is the reference of the second bookmark.
摘要:
When a through-hole electrode and a rear-surface wire are formed on a rear surface of a chip, a convex portion is formed on the rear surface of the chip due to a rear-surface wiring pad which is a part of the through-hole electrode and the rear-surface wire. This causes the air leakage when the chip is sucked, and therefore, the reduction of the sucking force of the chip occurs. A concave portion is formed in advance in a region where a rear-surface wiring pad and a rear-surface wire are formed. The rear-surface wiring pad and the rear-surface wire are provided inside the concave portion. Thus, a flatness of the rear surface of the chip is ensured by a convex portion caused by thicknesses of the rear-surface wiring pad and the rear-surface wire, so that the reduction of the sucking force does not occur when the chip is handled.
