  • Patent number: 7326593
    Abstract: The inventive method is based on the a idea of releasing a mechanical connection between the semiconductor chip and the supporting substrate during the manufacturing of the packing. The mechanical connection required for producing the electrical contacts between the semiconductor chip and the supporting substrate ensues only temporarily. As a result, a critical interface in the packing is removed thereby resulting in distinctly reducing the thermomechanical stresses.

  • Patent number: 6414808
    Abstract: A method of generating or modifying patterns of topically specific magnetic modifications in an at least potentially ferromagnetic surface comprising the step of subjecting the surface to a controlled impact of energized subatomic particles, preferably in the form of electron radiation, directed at the surface for producing a predetermined pattern of discrete magnetized areas on the surface. The method serves to increase the density of magnetically coded information on magnetic media, such as hard disks.
