  • Patent number: 7895550
    Abstract: A method for reducing variation in a desired property between transistors in an integrated circuit that is fabricated with a given process. The process is characterized to form a mathematical model that associates changes in polysilicon density and active density in the integrate circuit with changes in gate length and gate width in the transistors, and associates changes in the gate length and the gate width to the desired property. The integrated circuit is laid out with space sufficient to adjust the gate length and the gate width of the transistors without violating design rules of the transistors. The integrated circuit is divided into portions, and for at least a given one of the portions of the integrated circuit, the polysilicon density and the active density of the given portion is measured.

  • Publication number: 20100244276
    Abstract: An electronics package 100 comprising a substrate 105 having a planar surface 107, a memory die 110 and a logic die 120. Memory circuit components 112 interconnected to memory die contacts 114 located on an outer surface 116 of a face 118 of the memory die. Logic circuit components 122 interconnected to logic die contacts 124 located on an outer surface 126 of a face 128 of the logic die. Memory die contacts and the logic die contacts are interconnected such that the face of the memory die opposes the face of the logic die. A plurality of bonds 130 interconnect input-output contacts 132 on the planar surface of the substrate, to external die contacts 135 on one of the face of the logic die or the face of the memory die. One face opposes the planar surface, the other face is not directly connected to the interconnect input-output contacts.
