Abstract:
The invention relates to area efficient realization of coefficient block [A] or architecture [A] with hardware sharing techniques and optimizations applied to this block. The block [A] is connected to coefficient lines CLin_0, CLin_1...CLin_n and BLin_0, BLin_1,... BLin_n coming from block [E] and/or [F], to be connected to perform filtering operation or a mathematical computing operation with optimization in hardware and provides a zero latency output. The invention also gives the area minimal realization of digital filters based on coefficient block [A], when operated in bit serial fashion. The optimization techniques and structure of the present invention are good for linear digital filters typically a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, infinite impulse response filter (IIR) and for other filters and applications based on combinational logic consisting of delay element (T), multiplier (M), adder (SA) and subtractor (SS).
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to at least one semiconductor package including a die (204) within an encapsulant (202) having a first sidewall, an adhesive layer (222) on the encapsulant and having a second sidewall coplanar with the first sidewall of the encapsulant, and an insulating layer (226) on the adhesive layer having a third sidewall coplanar with the first sidewall and the second sidewall. A method of manufacturing the at least one semiconductor package includes forming an insulating layer on a temporary adhesion layer of a carrier, forming an adhesive layer on the insulating layer, and forming a plurality of openings through the adhesive layer and the insulating layer. The plurality of openings through the adhesive layer and the insulating layer may be formed by exposing the adhesive layer and the insulating layer to a laser.
Abstract:
A vacuum integrated electronic device (120) has an anode region (101) of conductive material; an insulating region (102, 104) on top of the anode region; a cavity (54) extending through the insulating region and having a sidewall (53); and a cathode region (109). The cathode region has a tip portion (51, 52) extending peripherally within the cavity, adjacent to the sidewall of the cavity. The cathode region is formed by tilted deposition, carried out at an angle of 30-60° with respect to a perpendicular to the surface of device.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a thin film resistor structure (100) that includes a resistive element (102) electrically connecting first conductor layers (106a,b) of adjacent interconnect structures (104a,b). The resistive element is covered by a dielectric cap layer (105) that acts as a stabilizer and heat sink for the resistive element. Each interconnect includes a second conductor layer (124) over the first conductive layer. The thin film resistor includes a chromium silicon resistive element covered by a silicon nitride cap layer.

Abstract:
Procédé de compression d'un signal d'image numérique dans lequel un premier jeu de pas de quantification, unique pour un segment donné, est déterminé pour que le nombre de bits nécessaires pour coder les données quantifiées correspondant à ce segment soit supérieur à une valeur cible. Ce premier jeu de pas de quantification étant ensuite modifié, en priorité, pour les blocs du segment pour lesquels le gain, au cours de cette modification, sur la réduction du nombre de bits nécessaires pour coder les données quantifiées correspondant au segment auquel il appartient, est le plus élevé. Cette modification est effectuée, sur autant de blocs qu'il est nécessaire pour que le nombre de bits de ce segment soit inférieur ou égal à la valeur cible. Dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé.
