  • Patent number: 9023729
    Abstract: A method of growth and transfer of epitaxial structures from semiconductor crystalline substrate(s) to an assembly substrate. Using this method, the assembly substrate encloses one or more semiconductor materials and defines a wafer size that is equal to or larger than the semiconductor crystalline substrate for further wafer processing. The process also provides a unique platform for heterogeneous integration of diverse material systems and device technologies onto one single substrate.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140374924
    Abstract: Methods and structures for heterogeneous integration of diverse material systems and device technologies onto a single substrate incorporate layer transfer techniques into an epitaxy level packaging process. A planar substrate surface of multiple epitaxial areas of different materials can be heterogeneously integrated with a substrate material. Complex assembly and lattice engineering is significantly reduced. Microsystems of different circuits made from different materials can be built from a single wafer Fab line employing the claimed processes.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 8181139
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a computer-implemented method of configuring a programmable logic device (PLD) includes placing logical functions within logical resources of the PLD to implement a desired netlist; swapping the logical function of at least one logical resource with the logical function of at least one other logical resource within the PLD; and evaluating whether to accept or reject the swap using a simulated annealing process that calculates at least three cost function values based upon routing priority groups, timing priority groups, and a timing critical group.
