Patent number: 11942459Abstract: A semiconductor device package includes a first substrate having an electrical circuit, semiconductor dies stacked one on top of the other, and bond wires electrically connected one to another. The bond wires electrically couple the semiconductor dies to one another and to the electrical circuit. There is a first bond wire having a first portion connected to a first semiconductor die, a second portion connected to a second semiconductor die, and an intermediate portion between the first portion and second portion. The semiconductor device package further includes a molding compound encapsulating the semiconductor dies, and the first and second portions of the first bond wire. The intermediate portion of the first bond wire is exposed along a top planar surface of the molding compound. The semiconductor device package may be used for coupling one or more other semiconductor device packages thereto via the exposed intermediate portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hua Tan, Hope Chiu, Weiting Jiang, Elley Zhang, Cong Zhang, Simon Dong, Jerry Tang, Rosy Zhao

Patent number: 11462852Abstract: The technology relates to a cage configured to removably receive a module. The cage may include a frame comprising a plurality of panels joined to one another, a lever pivotably coupled to the frame, and a heatsink pivotably coupled to the lever. The panels together may extend around a longitudinal recess configured to receive the module therein. The longitudinal recess may define a longitudinal axis thereof. A first one of the panels may have an aperture defined therein in communication with the longitudinal recess. A first end of the lever may extend into the longitudinal recess. The heatsink may be pivotably coupled to a second end of the lever opposite the first end. The heatsink may be movable in a translation direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. The heatsink may be translatable between a first position outside of the longitudinal recess and a second position partially inside the longitudinal recess.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jerry Chiu, Melanie Beauchemin

Patent number: 11197397Abstract: Systems and methods for data center liquid cooling apparatus provisioning are described. In some aspects, such systems and methods may provision one or more data center liquid cooling apparatus, e.g., prior to such apparatus being put into service to a data center to cool data center devices, such as server trays (and more specifically, heat-generating devices such as processors, memories, voltage regulators, and other devices mounted on motherboards of the server trays). In some aspects, such liquid cooling apparatus include cold plates or evaporators that are mounted in thermal communication with the heat generating devices (in the server trays) and utilize a flow of a cooling liquid (e.g., water, glycol, refrigerant) to remove heat from the server tray (e.g., with or without a phase change of the cooling liquid).Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jerry Chiu, Skyler Salman, Madhusudan Krishnan Iyengar
