Abstract: Disclosed are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic noise isolation structures that reduce electromagnetic interference and noise in integrated circuit devices and system architectures. Representative structures comprise two or more devices that are vertically disposed relative to one another, and a thin ferroelectric or ferromagnetic film layer disposed between the respective devices that isolates electromagnetic energy coupling from one device to another.

Abstract: A magnetically-assisted chip assembly unit for assembling at least one chip having a mounting surface and an attachment surface, wherein the attachment surface supports a magnetisable layer thereon and opposes said mounting surface, onto a substrate that has a corresponding chip mounting surface. The unit comprises a template wafer having at least one recess adapted to accommodate therein said chip; and a master wafer having at least one magnetisable element; wherein the template wafer is mounted on the master wafer and said magnetisable element is located at least proximate to the at least one recess such that the magnetisable element is capable of manipulating the chip into the recess, via its magnetisable layer when the magnetisable element is magnetized and generates a magnetic field. Once in the recess, the attachment surface of the chip faces at least a portion of the recess and the mounting surface of the chip faces an opening of the recess.

Abstract: A wafer level package formed on an integrated circuit chip having bondpads and a fabrication method therefor is disclosed. The wafer level package comprises at least one first, second and third separation layer having at least one first and second conductive layer formed in-between the separation layers. The at least one first conductive layer is formed on the at least one first separation layer and is coupled to the bondpads. The at least one second conductive layer is formed on the at last one second separation layer wherein the at least one second conductive layer is electrically coupled to the at least one first conductive layer. The at least one third separation layer allows solder to be attached to the at least one second conductive layer for electrically coupling the solder to the bondpads. A chip ground plane is laid in the integrated circuit chip for providing a ground to the at least one first conductive layer and the solder.

Abstract: A method and device to elongate a solder joint are provided. The method begins by forming an elongator on a first substrate. The elongator comprises an expander and an encapsulant to encapsulate the expander. A solder joint is formed to connect the first substrate to a second substrate. Thereafter, the encapsulant is softened to release the expander from a compressed state to elongate the solder joint. The device to elongate a solder joint comprises a substrate having an elongator formed on it. The elongator includes an expander in a compressed state and an encapsulant to encapsulate the expander.

Abstract: A high radiation efficiency antenna system in a package is achieved by the provision of a Dielectric Resonator Package. A Dielectric resonator package comprises a dielectric body of the package forming a dielectric resonator that resonates at radio frequency and a feed substrate having an upper and a lower surface, a feed structure formed on the upper surface of the feed substrate, and RF circuitry mounted on the lower surface of the feed substrate. The feed substrate is attached to the dielectric body of the package from the side of the feed structure.
