A method of forming a transistor is disclosed, in which gate-to-substrate leakage is addressed by forming and maintaining a conformal oxide layer overlying the transistor gate. Using the method disclosed for an n-type device, the conformal oxide layer can be formed as part of the source-drain doping process. Subsequent removal of residual phosphorous dopants from the surface of the oxide layer is accomplished without significant erosion of the oxide layer. The removal step uses a selective deglazing process that employs a hydrolytic reaction, and an acid-base neutralization reaction that includes an ammonium hydroxide component.

A micro-electrochemical sensor contains magnetic compounds inserted within a substrate that exert a magnetic force of attraction on paramagnetic beads held in contact with an electrode. The magnetic compounds can be contained within a fluid that is introduced into a void in the substrate. The electrode can be spaced apart from the magnetic compounds by a dielectric multi-layer membrane. During the fabrication process, different layers within the membrane-electrode structure can be tuned to have compressive or tensile stress so as to maintain structural integrity of the membrane, which is thin compared with the size of the void beneath it. During a process of forming the structure of the sensor, the tensile stress in a TiW adhesion layer can be adjusted to offset a composite net compressive stress associated with the dielectric layers of the membrane. The membrane can also be used in forming both the electrode and the void.

A pick and place system with an integrated light source to partially cure a light-curable adhesives onto which components have been placed. After a light-curable adhesive in liquid or low viscosity form is applied to a location on a substrate, a pick-and-place head uses a vacuum introduced to its nozzle-like opening to pick a component and place it on to the light-curable adhesive. The pick-and-place head then transmit an appropriate light through the same nozzle-like opening to at least partially cure the adhesive. The component becomes, therefore, at least partially fixed to the substrate and will not shift as the substrate is moved.

A conductive paint electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield for an electronic module or device. The conductive paint is composed of metal particles suspended in a fluidic carrier. In one embodiment, the conductive paint is sprayed onto exterior surfaces of an electronic module or device from a spray gun. The sprayed conductive paint is cured to remove the fluidic carrier, leaving a metal film coated to the outside of the module or device. In one embodiment used with electronic packages in array form, grooves are cut into an encapsulation material of a module so that the shield protection includes sidewalls of the package. In another embodiment used with camera modules, masking is used to selectively shield portions of the module. In a further embodiment, the shield is electrically connected to a ground conductor of a circuit of the electronic module.

An optical electronic package includes transmitting chip and a receiving chip fixed to a wafer. A transparent encapsulation structure is formed by a transparent plate and a transparent encapsulation block that are formed over the transmitter chip and at least a portion of the receiver chip, with the transparent encapsulation block embedding the transmitter chip. An opaque encapsulation block extends over the transparent plate and includes an opening that reveals a front area of the transparent plate. The front area is situated above an optical transmitter of the transmitting chip and is offset laterally relative to an optical sensor of the receiving chip.

A process for manufacturing semiconductor packages is provided, that includes drilling blind apertures in a reconstituted wafer, adhering a dry film resist on the wafer over the apertures, and patterning the film to expose a space around each of the apertures. The apertures and spaces are then filled with conductive paste by wiping a quantity of the paste across a surface of the film so that paste is forced into the spaces and apertures. The spaces around the apertures define contact pads whose thickness is constrained by the thickness of the film, preferably to about 10 μm or less. To prevent paste from trapping air pockets in the apertures, the wiping process can be performed in a chamber from which much or all of the air has been evacuated. After curing the paste, the wafer is thinned from the back to expose the cured paste in the apertures.

A circuit includes a plurality of logic gates and a drive circuit. The plurality of logic gates are coupled between a first supply node and a second supply node. Each logic gate has at least one input and consumes a short circuit current during a logic state transition. The drive circuit is coupled to the inputs of the plurality of logic gates to deliver a copy of an input signal to each logic gate, wherein the input signal copies arrive at the inputs of the logic gates at substantially different times. The circuit may be incorporated in a touch screen panel and a display.
