Patent number: 11626548Abstract: A method for transferring electroluminescent structures onto a face, referred to as the accommodating face, of an accommodating substrate. The accommodating face is moreover provided with interconnections intended to individually address each of the structures. The electroluminescent structures are initially formed on a supporting substrate and are separated by tracks. It is then proposed in the present invention to form reflective walls, vertically above the tracks, which comprise a supporting polymer (the second polymer) supporting a metal film on its sides. Such an arrangement of reflective walls makes it possible to reduce the stresses exerted on the electroluminescent structures during the transfer method according to the present invention. Moreover, the reflective walls, within the meaning of the present invention, may be produced on all the electroluminescent structures resting on a supporting substrate.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignees: ALEDIA, COMMISSARIAT À L'ÉNERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ÉNERGIES ALTERNATIVESInventors: Marion Volpert, Vincent Beix, François Levy, Mario Ibrahim, Fabrice De Moro

Patent number: 11610879Abstract: A handshake mechanism allows die discovery in a stacked die architecture that keeps inputs isolated until the handshake is complete. Power good indications are used as handshake signals between the die. A die keeps inputs isolated from above until a power good indication from the die above indicates presence of the die above. The die keeps inputs isolated from below until the die detects power is good and receives a power good indication from the die and the die below. In an implementation drivers and receivers, apart from configuration bus drivers and receivers are disabled until a fuse distribution done signal indicates that repairs have been completed. Drivers are then enabled and after a delay to ensure signals are driven, receivers are deisolated. A top die in the die stack never sees a power good indication from a die above and therefore keeps inputs from above isolated. That allows the height of the die stack to be unknown at power on.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Russell J. Schreiber, Richard M. Born, Carl D. Dietz, William A. Halliday
