Application: Semiconductor structure with frontside port and cavity features for conveying sample to sensing element (Patent ID: US20240068985A1)
The patent filed by Global Foundries Inc. describes a structure that includes a lab-on-chip sensor with frontside port and cavity features for conveying a flowable sample to a sensing element. The cavity is confined within middle of the line (MOL) dielectric layers, with the port extending from the top of the back end of the line (BEOL) dielectric layers down to the cavity. The structure allows for the flow of samples towards the sensing element, with optional additional dielectric layers and dielectric liners for separation and lining purposes.
The patent also includes multiple claims detailing variations of the structure, such as different configurations of dielectric layers, interconnects, and cavities within the sensing element. These claims outline the specific arrangements and components of the structure, including the presence of ducts linking different sections of the cavity, the use of additional dielectric layers for separation, and the inclusion of photodetectors or semiconductor regions of field-effect transistors as sensing elements. Overall, the patent focuses on the design and functionality of the structure to enable the efficient conveyance of samples to the sensing element for various applications.
