  • Patent number: 9111937
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices with multilayer flex interconnect structures. In some embodiments, a semiconductor device may include a semiconductor chip coupled to a planar substrate and a multilayer flex interconnect structure coupled to the semiconductor chip, the multilayer flex interconnect structure including at least: a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a dielectric layer disposed between the first and second conductive layers. The semiconductor device may also include another semiconductor chip coupled to the planar substrate and placed in a side-by-side configuration with respect to the semiconductor chip, where the multilayer flex interconnect structure provides electrical connections between at least two terminals of the semiconductor chip and at least two terminals of the other semiconductor chip.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5266444
    Abstract: A method and composition are shown for producing a positive-acting photoimagible epoxy resin. In addition to the epoxy resin, the compositions include a dual component cross-linking system which combines a basic curing agent with an onium or arylonium salt. The onium or arylonium salt produces a protic acid upon exposure to irradiation causing a reaction with the basic curing agent which renders the agent ineffective as an epoxy curing agent during subsequent heating. During a subsequent bake operation, only the unexposed regions of the epoxy will cross-link. As a result, the exposed areas wash away, leaving only the cured reverse image.
