  • Publication number: 20090115026
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device (100) with a semiconductor chip (101) having vias (103) two-dimensionally arrayed across the chip area. The metal-filled via core is suitable for electrical power and ground and heat dissipation, or for high frequency signals; at the top, the core is connected to transistors (102), and at the bottom to a metal stud (420.) The device further has a two-dimensional planar array of substantially identical metallic pads (120) separated by gaps (123, 223.) The array has two sets of pads: The first pad set (124) is located in the array center under the chip; the pad locations match the vias and each pad is in contact with the stud of the respective via. The second pad set (125) is located at the array periphery around the chip; these pads have bond wires (150) to a respective transistor terminal. Encapsulation compound (110) covers the chip and the wire connections, and fills the gaps between the pads.

  • Publication number: 20080157267
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for stacking passive component devices on a substrate. A conductive material is printed onto a first substrate using a fluid ejection device to form a printed passive device according to a predetermined design. The first substrate is attached to a second substrate, such as a die, to form a component for performing a predetermined function. The component may then be tested to determine whether the component formed according to the predetermined design performs the predetermined function. The design may be adjusted in response to the test to improve the performance of the component in performing the predetermined function. Multiple substrates having printed passive devices may be stacked and electrically connected to the die or other substrate in order to increase the number of devices formed on a particular area of that die or other substrate.

  • Patent number: 7394900
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for preventing the use of data transmitted by a computer to a web site by a program operating on the computer. Initially, a first association between a set of labels and a first set of codes is created. The set of labels contains information to be displayed on the computer, while each code in the first set of codes is associated with a particular label. An encryption key is then linked with the first association. The set of labels, the first set of codes, and the first encryption key is then sent to the computer. Some time later, codes from the first set of codes and the first encryption key are received back from the computer. The codes returned from the computer are then matched to labels from the set of labels using the first encryption key. Afterwards, subsequent associations between the set of labels and other sets of codes are created. These associations are different than the association between the set of labels and the first set of codes.

    Abstract: A semiconductor system (300) has one or more packaged active subsystems (310, 330); each subsystem has a substrate with electrical contact pads and one or more semiconductor chips stacked on top of each other, assembled on the substrate. The system further has a packaged passive subsystem (320) including a substrate with electrical contacts and passive electrical components, such as resistors, capacitors, and indictors. The passive subsystem is stacked with the active subsystems and connected to them by solder bodies.

  • Publication number: 20070235850
    Abstract: A semiconductor system (200) of one or more semiconductor interposers (201) with a certain dimension (210), conductive vias (212) extending from the first to the second surface, with terminals and attached non-reflow metal studs (215) at the ends of the vias. A semiconducting interposer surface may include discrete electronic components or an integrated circuit. One or more semiconductor chips (202, 203) have a dimension (220, 230) narrower than the interposer dimension, and an active surface with terminals and non-reflow metal studs (224, 234). One chip is flip-attached to the first interposer surface, and another chip to the second interposer surface, so that the interposer dimension projects over the chip dimension. An insulating substrate (204) has terminals and reflow bodies (242) to connect to the studs of the projecting interposer.
