  • Patent number: 11861283
    Abstract: A placement method for integrated circuit design is provided. Each net is considered as a soft module. The net will receive a larger penalty if it covers more routing congested regions. Therefore, it is easier to move the nets away from routing congested regions. In addition, to relieve local congestion, a novel inflation method is proposed to expand the area of a cluster according to its internal connectivity intensity and routing congestion occupied by the cluster. Accordingly, it can get better routability and wirelength.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8976517
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a shell, a display module and a cushion. The shell includes a bottom plate and a top plate. The top plate defines an opening. The display module is disposed in the shell and faces the opening. The display module is spaced from the bottom plate of the shell. The cushion is disposed between the display module and the bottom plate of the shell, and brought into contact with the display module for cushioning the display module when an external force is applied to the display module.

  • Patent number: 8397380
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit package includes providing a ball grid array (BGA) module including BGA balls on a side of the BGA module; providing a base substrate; and placing the BGA module on the base substrate. The BGA balls are placed between the BGA module and the base substrate. An adhesive is applied between and contacting the BGA module and the base substrate. The adhesive is then cured. The BGA balls are re-flowed after the step of curing the adhesive.
