Methods relating to the singulation of dice from semiconductor wafers. Trenches or channels are formed in the bottom surface of a semiconductor wafer, corresponding in location to the wafer streets. The trenches may be formed by etching or through an initial laser cut. The wafer is then singulated along the streets with a laser preferably having a beam narrower than the trenches. Multiple, laterally spaced lasers may be used in combination during a single pass to perform simultaneous singulating cuts. Additional edge protection for integrated circuitry on the active surface of the semiconductor dice may be provided by forming trenches or channels along the streets in the active surface instead of the bottom surface, disposing protective material along the streets and within the trenches prior to singulation and cutting through the wafer, leaving protective material on the sidewalls of the channels.

ActiveUS20160183877A1Reduce riskEasy to bendElectrocardiographyMedical devicesBasket catheterGuide tube
A catheter with basket-shaped electrode assembly with spines configured for hyper-flexing in a predetermined, predictable manner when a compressive force acts on the assembly from either its distal end or its proximal end. At least one spine has at least one region of greater (or hyper) flexibility that allows the electrode assembly to deform, for example, compress, for absorbing and dampening excessive force that may otherwise cause damage or injury to tissue wall in contact with the assembly, without compromising the structure and stiffness of the remaining regions of the spine, including its distal and proximal regions. The one or more regions of greater flexibility in the spine allow the spine to flex into a generally V-shape configuration or a generally U-shape configuration.

A multiple-cell insulated-gate-bipolar-transistor chip is disclosed which includes a semiconductor substrate having formed therein a p+-type collector region and an n−-type base region, with a pn junction therebetween. An annular trench is etched in the substrate so as to surround the array of IGBT cells. Received in the trench are a dielectric layer which is held against the base region, and an electroconductive layer which is held against the base region via the dielectric layer and which is electrically coupled to the collector region. When the pn junction between the collector and base regions is reverse biased, the electroconductive layer creates at the annular periphery of the base region a depletion layer which is joined to a depletion layer created in the base region by the pn junction, thereby preventing current leakage from the side surfaces of the IGBT chip.
