  • Publication number: 20200075567
    Abstract: A system and method of providing high bandwidth and low latency memory architecture solutions for next generation processors is disclosed. The package contains a substrate, a memory device embedded in the substrate via EMIB processes and a processor disposed on the substrate partially over the embedded memory device. The I/O pads of the processor and memory device are vertically aligned to minimize the distance therebetween and electrically connected through EMIB uvias. An additional memory device is disposed on the substrate partially over the embedded memory device or on the processor. I/O signals are routed using a redistribution layer on the embedded memory device or an organic VHD redistribution layer formed over the embedded memory device when the additional memory device is laterally adjacent to the processor and the I/O pads of the processor and additional memory device are vertically aligned when the additional memory device is on the processor.

  • Publication number: 20190082798
    Abstract: A method of making a laminated touch fastener includes introducing a flexible substrate to a resin applicator, applying flowable resin to a limited region of a surface of the substrate, and molding the applied resin to form a plurality of defined structures extending from a layer of the applied resin. The substrate surface, as the substrate is introduced to the resin applicator, has a surface characteristic that varies across the surface. The surface includes both a first region and a second region adjacent the first region, the surface characteristic varying to a greater degree within the second region than within the first region. The flowable resin may be applied within the first region such that an edge of the resin layer is disposed within, and adjacent an exposed portion of, the first region of the substrate surface.
