Patent number: 11011448Abstract: A multi-chip unit suitable for chip-level packaging may include multiple IC chips that are interconnected through a metal redistribution structure, and that are directly bonded to an integrated heat spreader. Bonding of the integrated heat spreader to the multiple IC chips may be direct so that no thermal interface material (TIM) is needed, resulting in a reduced bond line thickness (BLT) and lower thermal resistance. The integrated heat spreader may further serve as a structural member of the multi-chip unit, allowing a second side of the redistribution structure to be further interconnected to a host by solder interconnects. The redistribution structure may be fabricated on a sacrificial interposer that may facilitate planarizing IC chips of differing thickness prior to bonding the heat spreader. The sacrificial interposer may be removed to expose the RDL for further interconnection to a substrate without the use of through-substrate vias.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Debendra Mallik, Ravindranath Mahajan, Digvijay Raorane

Patent number: 10974360Abstract: A first diamond layer made of polycrystalline diamonds and doped with foreign atoms, is arranged on a metal surface of a machining tool, and is used to detect the degree of wear of an undoped polycrystalline second diamond layer, which is arranged on the doped diamond layer and forms a functional region of the machining tool, wherein at least one physical parameter is detected continuously or periodically during operation of the tool, and wherein a change in the parameter indicates the degree of wear of the undoped second diamond layer. The doped diamond layer forms an “intelligent stop layer” for the tool because as a result of change in the transition from the undoped to the doped layer, the conductivity of the system changes, for example, and this change can be used to form a stop signal for the machine drive before the tool and the machined workpiece are damaged.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Guehring KGInventor: Immo Garrn
