Patent number: 12277056Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including memory devices and systems. Example memory devices, systems and methods include a buffer interface to translate high speed data interactions on a host interface side into slower, wider data interactions on a DRAM interface side. The slower, and wider DRAM interface may be configured to substantially match the capacity of the narrower, higher speed host interface. In some examples, the buffer interface may be configured to provide multiple sub-channel interfaces each coupled to one or more regions within the memory structure and configured to facilitate data recovery in the event of a failure of some portion of the memory structure. Selected example memory devices, systems and methods include an individual DRAM die, or one or more stacks of DRAM dies coupled to a buffer die.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2023Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Brent Keeth, Owen Fay, Chan H. Yoo, Roy E. Greeff, Matthew B. Leslie

Publication number: 20070210461Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for encapsulating electronic devices, comprising: providing one or more electronic devices (62) with primary faces (63) having electrical contacts (69), opposed rear faces (65) and edges (64) therebetween. A sacrificial layer (70) is provided on the primary faces (63). The devices (62) are mounted on a temporary support (80) so that the sacrificial layer (70) faces toward the temporary support (80). A plastic encapsulation (86)is formed in contact with at least the lateral edges (64) of the electronic devices (62). The plastic encapsulation (86) is at least partially cured and the devices (62) and plastic encapsulation (86) separated from the temporary support (80), thereby exposing the sacrificial layer (70). The sacrificial layer (70) is removed. The devices (62) and edge-contacting encapsulation are mounted on a carrier (90) with the primary faces (63) and electrical contacts (69) exposed and, optionally, further cured.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2006Publication date: September 13, 2007Inventors: Owen Fay, Kevin Lish, Douglas Mitchell
