Patent number: 11329013Abstract: Interconnected substrate arrays, microelectronic packages, and methods for fabricating microelectronic packages for fabricating microelectronic packages utilizing interconnected substrate arrays containing integrated electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection grids are provided. In an embodiment, the method includes obtaining an interconnected substrate array having an integrated ESD protection grid. The ESD protection grid includes, in turn, ESD grid lines at least partially formed in singulation streets of an interconnected substrate array and electrically coupling die attachment regions of the substrate array to one or more peripheral machine ground contacts. Array-level fabrication steps are performed to produce an interconnected package array utilizing the interconnected substrate array, while electrically coupling the die attachment regions to electrical ground through the ESD protection grid during at least one of the array-level fabrication steps.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: James Cotronakis, Jose Luis Suarez, Eduard Jan Pabst

Patent number: 10141227Abstract: Methods and systems for achieving semiconductor-based circuits or systems having multiple components with one or more matched or similar characteristics or features are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a system includes a processing device that includes first, second, and third circuitry. The first circuitry is configured to generate control signals that at least indirectly cause a pick and place head mechanism to attempt to pick up and place at least some of first and second dice. The second circuitry is configured to assess whether attempts to implement one or more of first and second dice should be skipped based upon wafer map information. Further, the third circuitry is configured to determine whether a second position of a first one of the second dice is sufficiently proximate to a first position so that it would be appropriate to implement the first one of the second dice.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: NXP USA, INC.Inventors: Jose Luis Suarez, Gabriela Michel Sanchez, Audel Sanchez, Michele Lynn Miera, Flavio Hernandez Rodriguez

Publication number: 20050152542Abstract: A system is comprised of a user and a group, wherein the group is comprised of a group leader and a group of M members where M is equal to or greater than one. The group leader generates a group public key and a group leader “master” private key. The group leader creates a personalized watermarked or decryption key, also referred to as an individual private key, for each group member. The individual private key uniquely identifies each group member. The group leader distributes the individual private keys to each of the group members. Each group member receives from a user a message encrypted using the group public key. Each of the group members uses its individual private key to decrypt the encrypted message sent by the user to the group.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2004Publication date: July 14, 2005Applicant: Wachovia CorporationInventors: Yuliang Zheng, Luis Suarez
