  • Publication number: 20180263117
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to devices, systems, and methods for making a flexible microelectronic assembly. In an example, a polymer is molded over a microelectronic component, the polymer mold assuming a substantially rigid state following the molding. A routing layer is formed with respect to the microelectronic component and the polymer mold, the routing layer including traces electrically coupled to the microelectronic component. An input is applied to the polymer mold, the polymer mold transitioning from the substantially rigid state to a substantially flexible state upon application of the input.

  • Patent number: 9666549
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems and apparatuses that include an extended TSBA ball and techniques for making the same. According to an example, a technique can include forming a circuit substrate including forming a circuit on a substrate, the circuit exposed along an upper surface of the substrate, wherein the substrate is for coupling the circuit with a die along a lower surface of the circuit substrate. A molding can be formed onto an upper surface of the circuit substrate, over the circuit of the circuit substrate. An opening can be defined in the molding so that the opening can extend to a top surface of the molding to at least a portion of the circuit. Solder can be formed into the opening, including conforming the solder to the opening and the circuit substrate.

  • Patent number: 6239973
    Abstract: An electronic cartridge which includes a cover that is electrically coupled to a substrate by a clip. An integrated circuit package is mounted to the substrate and at least partially enclosed by the cover. The clips and cover may be connected to a ground plane of the substrate. The cover and substrate may create a “shield” about the integrated circuit package so that any electromagnetic field that flows from the package is grounded to the substrate.
