An integrated circuit includes a middle active-region structure between a group-one active-region structure and a group-two active-region structure. The integrated circuit also includes a main circuit, a group-one circuit, and a group-two circuit. The main circuit includes at least one boundary gate-conductor intersecting the middle active-region structure. The group-one circuit includes a group-one isolation structure separating the group-one active-region structure into a first part in the group-one circuit and a second part in a first adjacent circuit. The group-two circuit includes a group-two isolation structure separating the group-two active-region structure into a first part in the group-two circuit and a second part in a second adjacent circuit.

An apparatus for transferring light-emitting diodes (LEDs) includes a backing board for supporting a backplane, a sealing member formed on the backing board around a periphery of the backplane, a transparent panel formed on the sealing member such that a space is formed between the backing board and the transparent panel, and a vacuum source for drawing a vacuum on the space.

One example of a semiconductor package includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a semiconductor die, and a spacer. The semiconductor die is attached to the first substrate. The spacer is attached to the semiconductor die and attached to the second substrate via solder. A surface of the second substrate facing the spacer includes a plurality of recesses extending from proximate at least one edge of the spacer to contain a portion of the solder.

An apparatus includes a product substrate having a transfer surface, and a semiconductor die defined, at least in part, by a first surface adjoined to a second surface that extends in a direction transverse to the first surface. The transfer surface includes ripples in a profile thereof such that an apex on an individual ripple is a point on a first plane and a trough on the individual ripple is a point on a second plane. The semiconductor die is disposed on the transfer surface between the first plane and the second plane such that the second surface of the semiconductor die extends transverse to the first plane and the second plane.

A method includes bonding a package component to a composite carrier. The composite carrier includes a base carrier and an absorption layer, and the absorption layer is between the base carrier and the package component. A laser beam is projected onto the composite carrier. The laser beam penetrates through the base carrier to ablate the absorption layer. The base carrier may then be separated from the package component.

Composite integrated circuit (IC) device structures that include two components coupled through a hybrid bonded composite interconnect structure. The two components may be two different monolithic IC structures (e.g., chips) that are bonded over substantially planar dielectric and metallization interfaces. Composite interconnect metallization features formed at a bond interface may be doped with a metal or chalcogenide dopant. The dopant may migrate to a periphery of the composite interconnect structure and form a barrier material that will then limit outdiffusion of a metal, such as copper, into adjacent dielectric material.

An electro-optic assembly includes a layer of electro-optic material configured to switch optical states upon application of an electric field and an anisotropically conductive layer having one or more moisture-resistive polymers and a conductive material, the moisture-resistive polymer having a WVTR less than 5 g/(m.sup.2*d).

This patent application relates to methods and apparatus for temperature modification and reduction of contamination in bonding stacked microelectronic devices with heat applied from a bond head of a thermocompression bonding tool. The stack is substantially enclosed within a skirt carried by the bond head to reduce heat loss and contaminants from the stack, and heat may be added from the skirt.

Provided is a semiconductor element including: a multilayer structure including: a conductive substrate; and an oxide semiconductor film arranged directly on the conductive substrate or over the conductive substrate via a different layer, the oxide semiconductor film including an oxide, as a major component, containing gallium, the conductive substrate having a larger area than the oxide semiconductor film.
