Publication number: 20170171958Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing process for electronic circuit components such as bare dies, and packaged integrated chips, among other configurations, to form electronic assemblies. The surface of the electronic circuit component carries electronic elements such as conductive traces and/or other configurations including contact pads. A method for forming an electronic assembly includes providing a tacky layer. Then an electronic circuit component is provided having a first side and a second side, where the first side carries the electronic elements. The first side of the electronic circuit component is positioned into contact with the tacky layer. A bonding material is then deposited to a portion of the adhesive layer that is not covered by the first side of the electronic circuit component, to a depth which is sufficient to cover at least a portion of the electronic circuit component. The bonding material is then fixed or cured into a fixed or cured bonding material, and the tacky layer is removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2015Publication date: June 15, 2017Applicant: Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Tse Nga Ng, Ping Mei, Brent S. Krusor, Gregory L. Whiting, Steven E. Ready, Janos Veres

Patent number: 9577047Abstract: An article includes a support substrate bonded to heterostructure epitaxial layers that include one or more electronic devices. The support substrate has a bonding surface and the heterostructure epitaxial layers have a surface with the epitaxial growth direction of the heterostructure epitaxial layers towards the surface. The surface of the heterostructure epitaxial layers is bonded at the bonding surface of the support substrate by ion exchange between the surface of the heterostructure epitaxial layers and the bonding surface of the support substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: PALO ALTO RESEARCH CENTER INCORPORATEDInventors: Christopher L.

Publication number: 20170048986Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing process for electronic circuit components such as bare dies, and packaged integrated chips, among others, where the surface of the electronic circuit component is at the same level as the associated substrate, the surface of the electronic circuit component holding connection pads. A gap exists between the electronic circuit component, and the end of an opening within the substrate. This gap is filled with a filler material, such as a bonding material. The bonding material also used to encapsulate or bond together the back side of the substrate and electronic circuit component. During the manufacturing process, the front surface of the electronic circuit component (which includes the contact pads) and the front surface of the substrate which includes electronic circuitry are held in an adhesive relationship by a flat material having an upper surface which includes adhesive or sticky material (such as PDMS).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2015Publication date: February 16, 2017Applicant: Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Ping Mei, Gregory L.
