Abstract: An electrical check executed on wafer tests for the correct positioning or alignment of the probes of a probe card on the pads or bumps of the electronic devices integrated on the wafer. A signal is applied to cause a current to circulate in at least part of a seal ring of at least one of the electronic devices. In a case where the current flows between and through multiple electronic devices, the seal rings of those electronic devices are suitably interconnected to each other by electronic structures that extend through the scribe line between electronic devices.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a biosensor includes forming an electrode layer on a flexible foil. An adhesive layer is positioned on the foil layer, and a first photo-definable hydrogel membrane is positioned over the electrode layer and the adhesive layer. A second photo-definable hydrogel membrane with an immobilized bio-recognition element is positioned over the first hydrogel membrane in contact with the electrode layer through an opening in the first hydrogel membrane.

Abstract: A receiver for digital signals includes a radiofrequency stage. A feedback loop controls an amplitude of a modulated radiofrequency signal passing through the radiofrequency stage as a function of a comparison of a baseband signal with a reference value. A baseband stage includes an RC network cascaded to the radiofrequency stage and coupled to a baseband detector that generates the baseband signal. The feedback loop includes a circuit for detecting a range of variation of the comparison. The amplitude of the modulated radiofrequency signal is controlled as a function of an end value (e.g., maximum or minimum) of the detected range of variation. A switching circuit operates to selectively short circuit a resistive component of the RC network during receiver start-up.

Abstract: An integrated MEMS structure includes a driving assembly anchored to a substrate and actuated with a driving movement. A pair of sensing masses suspended above the substrate and coupled to the driving assembly via elastic elements is fixed in the driving movement and performs a movement along a first direction of detection, in response to an external stress. A coupling assembly couples the pair of sensing masses mechanically to couple the vibration modes. The coupling assembly is formed by a rigid element, which connects the sensing masses and has a point of constraint in an intermediate position between the sensing masses, and elastic coupling elements for coupling the rigid element to the sensing masses to present a first stiffness to a movement in phase-opposition and a second stiffness, greater than the first, to a movement in phase, of the sensing masses along the direction of detection.

Abstract: A circuit includes a timer circuit configured to generate a first control signal defining a first time period and a second control signal defining a second time period. A controller is configured to control a high-side and a low-side transistor of a half-bridge circuit in response to the first and second control signals only during a first switching cycle of the half-bridge circuit. The half-bridge circuit includes a bootstrap capacitor coupled to a node between the high-side and low-side transistors. The controller turns on the low-side transistor for the first time period during the first switching cycle and configured turns off the low-side and the high-side transistors for the second time period during the first switching cycle.
