  • Patent number: 10455308
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a die with integrated microphone device using through-silicon vias (TSVs) and associated techniques and configurations. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an apparatus comprising a semiconductor substrate having a first side and a second side disposed opposite to the first side, an interconnect layer formed on the first side of the semiconductor substrate, a through-silicon via (TSV) formed through the semiconductor substrate and configured to route electrical signals between the first side of the semiconductor substrate and the second side of the semiconductor substrate, and a microphone device formed on the second side of the semiconductor substrate and electrically coupled with the TSV. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9335944
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to in-place change between transient and persistent state for data structures on non-volatile memory are described. In one embodiment, controller logic causes a change in a state of a first portion of one or more non-volatile memory devices between a persistent state and a transient state and without moving data stored in the first portion of the one or more non-volatile memory devices. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

  • Patent number: 9287196
    Abstract: Resonant clocking for three-dimensional stacked devices. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a stack including integrated circuit dies; and through silicon vias through at least one of the dies, wherein at least a first through silicon via of the through silicon vias includes a capacitive structure or an inductive structure, the first through silicon via being formed in a first die of the plurality of dies. The apparatus includes a resonant circuit, the first through silicon via used as a first circuit element of the resonant circuit.
