Abstract:
A method and corresponding system are provided for determining a three-dimensional stress field of an object having a flat surface. At least four flat resistors are placed on the flat surface of the object, with at least one of the resistors having a geometry different from that of the others. A variation of resistance of the resistors is measured. The three-dimensional stress field is determined from a system of equations involving the stress field, values of variations of the measured resistive values and sensitivity parameters of the resistors.
Abstract:
A device includes a support, a three-dimensional integrated structure above the support, and a lateral encapsulation region arranged around the structure. The lateral encapsulation region includes first channels configured to make it possible to circulate a cooling fluid.
Abstract:
A substrate includes an active region oriented along a crystallographic face (100) and limited by an insulating region. A MOS transistor includes a channel oriented longitudinally along a crystallographic direction of the type. A basic pattern made of metal and formed in the shape of a T is electrically inactive and situated over an area of the insulating region adjacent a transverse end of the channel. A horizontal branch of the T-shaped basic pattern is oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the channel.
Abstract:
An electronic device has a rear plate that includes a substrate rear layer, a substrate front layer and a dielectric intermediate layer between the substrate rear and front layers. An electronic structure is on the substrate front layer and includes electronic components and electrical connections. The substrate rear layer includes a solid local region and a hollowed-out local region. The hollowed-out local region extends over all of the substrate rear layer. The substrate rear layer does not cover at least one local zone of the dielectric intermediate layer corresponding to the hollowed-out local region.

Abstract:
An electronic device includes an integrated circuit chip with an insulating passivation layer. An opening in the passivation layer uncovers a first region of an electrical contact. An electrical connection pad is formed to fill the opening by covering the first region and extend in projection in such a way as to cover a second region situated on the passivation layer surrounding the opening. The periphery of at least one of the first and second regions has an elongate or oblong shape. Centers of the opening and the pad are aligned with each other.
