  • Patent number: 8361901
    Abstract: An electronic package and method and system for forming the electronic package. The electronic package has a first substrate including a first electronic device and including through-holes extending through an entire thickness of the first substrate. The electronic package has a second substrate bonded to the first substrate, metallizations formed in the through-holes of the first substrate to connect to components of the first electronic device, and a patternable substance disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and adhering the first substrate and the second substrate together in regions apart from the metallizations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 5, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2013
    Assignee: Research Triangle Institute

  • Patent number: 5907768
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a microelectronic structure includes the steps of forming a semiconductor island on a substrate and forming a filler material on the substrate and surrounding the semiconductor island. The semiconductor island includes a first semiconductor material and has a planar island surface opposite the substrate. The filler material includes a second semiconductor material and has a planar single crystal surface adjacent the planar island surface opposite the substrate so that the planar island surface and the planar single crystal surface together define a smooth planar surface. The first semiconductor material can be diamond, and the second semiconductor material can be silicon. In addition, a microelectronic circuit can be formed on the filler material.

  • Patent number: 5872415
    Abstract: A microelectronic structure includes a substrate, a semiconductor island on the substrate, and a filler material on the substrate and surrounding the semiconductor island. The semiconductor island includes a first semiconductor material and has a planar island surface opposite the substrate. The filler material includes a layer of a second semiconductor material having a planar single crystal surface adjacent the planar island surface opposite the substrate so that the planar island surface and the planar single crystal surface together define a smooth planar surface. The first semiconductor material can be diamond, and the second semiconductor material can be silicon. In addition, a microelectronic circuit can be provided on the filler material.
