Abstract:
A sensor package structure and method is characterized in connecting a sensor with a circuit substrate in a flip chip bonding method to enhance the structure strength and miniaturize the product; using a no-flow underfill glue to fill the gap between the sensor and the circuit substrate to protect the contacts of the flip chip structure, prevent the performance from being affected by the overflowing encapsulant, and promote the reliability of products. The present invention uses the no-flow underfill glue process to replace the processes of forming a dam and a soft protection layer and thus simplifies the fabrication process and reduces the fabrication cost.
Abstract:
A junctionless Nano-Electro-Mechanical (NEM) resonator, comprising a highly doped conductive channel connecting a drain region and a source region; the conduction channel region is movable and the overall structure is fixed at least at these two ends placed on acting the source and drain regions, respectively; at least one fixed gate electrode arranged to control a depletion charge in the highly doped conductive channel thereby modulating dimensions of a cross-section of the highly doped conductive channel.

Abstract:
A wearable device is provided having multiple sensors configured to detect and measure different parameters of interest. The wearable device includes at least one monolithic integrated multi-sensor (MIMS) device. The MIMS device comprises at least two sensors of different types formed on a common semiconductor substrate. For example, the MIMS device can comprise an indirect sensor and a direct sensor. The wearable device couples a first parameter to be measured directly to the direct sensor. Conversely, the wearable device can couple a second parameter to be measured to the indirect sensor indirectly. Other sensors can be added to the wearable device by stacking a sensor to the MIMS device or to another substrate coupled to the MIMS device. This supports integrating multiple sensors to reduce form factor, cost, complexity, simplify assembly, while increasing performance.

Abstract:
A process for fabricating multiple microfluidic device chips. The process includes fabricating multiple micromachined tubes in a semiconductor device wafer. The tubes are fabricated so that each tube has an internal fluidic passage and an inlet and outlet thereto defined in a surface of the device wafer. The device wafer is then bonded to a glass wafer to form a device wafer stack, and so that through-holes in the glass wafer are individually fluidically coupled with the inlets and outlets of the tubes. The glass wafer is then bonded to a metallic wafer to form a package wafer stack, so that through-holes in the metallic wafer are individually fluidically coupled with the through-holes of the glass wafer. Multiple microfluidic device chips are then singulated from the package wafer stack. Each device chip has a continuous flow path for a fluid therethrough that is preferably free of organic materials.

It is intended to provide a membrane structure element that can be easily manufactured, has an excellent insulating property and high quality; and a method for manufacturing the membrane structure element. The manufacturing method is for manufacturing a membrane structure element including a membrane formed of a silicon oxide film and a substrate which supports the membrane in a hollow state by supporting a part of a periphery of the membrane. The method includes: a film formation step of forming a heat-shrinkable silicon oxide film 13 on a surface of a silicon substrate 2 by plasma CVD method; a heat treatment step of performing a heat treatment to cause the thermal shrinkage of the silicon oxide film 13 formed on the substrate 1; and a removal step of removing a part of the substrate 2 in such a manner that a membrane-corresponding part of the silicon oxide film 13 is supported as a membrane in a hollow state with respect to the substrate 2 to form a recessed part 4.
