  • Patent number: 11658079
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to a temporary interconnect for use in testing one or more devices (e.g., one or more dies, inductors, capacitors, etc.) formed in semiconductor package. In one scenario, a temporary interconnect acts an electrical bridge that electrically couples a contact pad on a surface of a substrate and the test pad. Coupling the contact pad and the test pad to each other enables the device(s) coupled the contact pad to be tested. Following testing, the temporary interconnect can be removed or severed so that an electrical break is formed in the conductive path between test pad and the contact pad.

  • Patent number: 11599750
    Abstract: Edge devices utilizing personalized machine learning and methods of operating the same are disclosed. An example edge device includes a model accessor to access a first machine learning model from a cloud service provider. A local data interface is to collect local user data. A model trainer is to train the first machine learning model to create a second machine learning model using the local user data. A local permissions data store is to store permissions indicating constraints on the local user data with respect to sharing outside of the edge device. A permissions enforcer is to apply permissions to the local user data to create a sub-set of the local user data to be shared outside of the edge device. A transmitter is to provide the sub-set of the local user data to a public data repository.

  • Patent number: 11545464
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide techniques for testing a semiconductor package by using a diode to couple a test pad to a contact pad. In one scenario, a package comprises a die stack comprising one or more dies and a molding compound encapsulating the die stack. In this package, a substrate is over the molding compound. Also, a test pad and a contact pad are on a surface of the substrate. The contact pad is coupled to the die stack. A diode couples the test pad to the contact pad. In one example, the test pad is coupled to a P side of the diode's P-N junction and the contact pad is coupled to an N side of the diode's P-N junction. In operation, current can flow from the test pad through the contact pad (and the die stack), but current cannot flow from the contact pad through the test pad.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a needle dispenser for use in dispensing and collecting an underfill encapsulant under a device on a substrate. In one scenario, the needle dispenser comprises: a reservoir; and a needle coupled to the reservoir. A tip of the needle is comprised of a first material and a body of the needle is comprised of a second material. The first material is more compliant than the second material. An outer surface of the needle is formed from a hydrophobic material and a core of the needle comprises a hydrophilic material. The needle also comprises channels extending along the needle. A solvent flows through at least one of the channels to soak the core. Additionally, openings formed in the needle's outer surface expose the core. The openings enable dispensing or absorbing of the underfill material.
