Abstract: An apparatus having a three-dimensional integrated circuit structure is described herein. The apparatus include an interposer for carrying a plurality of high and low-power chips. The high-power chips are attached and connected to one side of the interposer, while the low-power chips are attached and connected to the other side of the interposer. In generally, the high-power chips produce more heat than does the low-power chip during their operations. The interposer further include through silicon vias and redistribution layers for connecting the chips on both surfaces. In addition, the interposer assembly is attached and connected to a substrate layer, which is in turn attached and connected to a printed circuit board. In order to provide improve thermal management, the interposer surface carrying the high-power chips are oriented away from the circuit board. A heat spreader is attached to the back sides of the high-power chips for dissipating the heat.

Abstract: A test apparatus applies high speed impact load to a sample to test the shear strength of attachment of a component part to the sample, by use of a rotary drive mechanism driving an impact tip. A support mechanism provides alignment between the impact tip and a portion of the sample to receive a test force, and prevents relative movement of at least one of the sample and the impact tip. The rotary drive mechanism establishes a impact force between the impact tip and the sample, and a force transducer receives the resultant force and providing a corresponding output. In one example the force transducer uses a piezoelectric film for sensing. The testing may be used, for example, to provide stable impact speed to a solder ball, and provide, as an output a force and displacement relationship curve. The stable speed can be acquired by clutch, and the data collection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of forming a nanocomposite. The process comprises the steps of treating pristine clay with water in order to swell the clay, exchanging the water with an organic solvent while still maintaining the clay in a swollen state, treating the swollen clay with a modifier and then mixing the treated clay with a substance selected from the group consisting of monomers, oligomers and polymers and combinations thereof. Where necessary, the substance is polymerised and the solvent is being removed either prior to, during or after the polymerization.
