  • Patent number: 10497667
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for controlling a propagation of a bond wave during semiconductor processing. The apparatus has a first chuck to selectively retain a first workpiece. A second chuck selectively retains a second workpiece. The first and second chucks selectively secure at least a periphery of the respective first workpiece and second workpiece. An air vacuum is circumferentially located in a region between the first chuck and second chuck. The air vacuum is configured to induce a vacuum between the first workpiece and second workpiece to selectively bring the first workpiece and second workpiece together from a propagation point. The air vacuum can be localized air vacuum guns, a vacuum disk, or an air curtain positioned about the periphery of the region between the first chuck and second chuck. The air curtain induces a lower pressure within the region between the first and second chucks.

  • Patent number: 10283492
    Abstract: Laminated interposers and packages, with embedded trace interconnects are provided. An example process for making an interposer or package achieves vertical conductive vias in the package by depositing conductive traces on multiple wafers or panes, then laminating these substrates into a stack, thereby embedding the conductive traces. The laminated stack is sliced to dimensions of an interposer or electronic package. A side of the sliced stack is then used as the top of the interposer or package, rendering some of the horizontally laid traces into vertical conductive vias. The interposer or package can be finished or developed by adding redistribution layers on the top and bottom surfaces, and active and passive components. Electronic components can also be embedded in the laminated stack. Some of the stack layers can be active dies, such as memory controllers, memory storage arrays, and processors, to form a memory subsystem or self-contained computing device.
