  • Patent number: 5531022
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a structure for packaging electronic devices, such as semiconductor chips, in a three dimensional structure which permits electrical signals to propagate both horizontally and vertically. The structure is formed from a plurality of assemblies. Each assembly is formed from a substrate having disposed on at least one surface a plurality of electronic devices. Each assembly is disposed in a stack of adjacent assemblies. Between adjacent assemblies there is an electrical interconnection means electrically interconnecting each assembly. The electrical interconnection means is formed from an elastomeric interposer. The elastomeric interposer is formed from an elastomeric material having a plurality of electrical conductors extending therethrough, either in a clustered or un-clustered arrangement. The electrical interconnection means is fabricated having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough.

  • Patent number: 5045608
    Abstract: Block copolymers of polyimide and poly (phenylquinoxaline) have been synthesized. They are useful, particularly as dielectric layers in thin film multilayer structures. The most preferred embodiments are formed from polyimides which are those from pyromellitic dianhydride and oxydianiline. The most preferred poly (phenylquinoxaline) is a monofunctional oligomer, which yields the best microstructure.
