Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method including arranging multiple optical fibers between a die and a lid, wherein the die is bent and comprises multiple grooves, each optical fiber in or close to a separate groove; bonding the lid to the die to hold the multiple optical fibers in place in the multiple grooves, wherein the bonding comprises applying a bonding force non-uniformly across the lid to conform the lid to the bent die. A corresponding system is also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A tape capable of laser ablation may be used in the formation of microelectronic interconnects, wherein the tape may be attached to bond pads on a microelectronic device and vias may be formed by laser ablation through the tape to expose at least a portion of corresponding bond pads. The microelectronic interconnects may be formed on the bond pads within the vias, such as by solder paste printing and solder reflow. The laser ablation tape can be removed after the formation of the microelectronic interconnects.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are taught for directing the orientation of an immobilized capture biomolecule on a hydrophobic membrane. The method comprises layering at least one tie layer on a hydrophobic membrane, adding an amine functional layer on top of at least one tie layer; and attaching an alignment biomolecule to the amine functional layer. The alignment biomolecule has the ability to either capture a target biomolecule itself and thus be considered a capture biomolecule, or bind and orient the immobilized capture biomolecule so as to maximize the binding activity of the immobilized capture biomolecule. In one embodiment, a nickel-coordinated amine functional layer binds with a histidine-tagged alignment biomolecule. In another embodiment, an amine functional layer reacts, via tyrosinase catalysis, with a tyrosine residue in an alignment biomolecule.
