  • Semiconductor Chip Attach Configuration Having Improved Thermal Characteristics
    Publication number: 20110068446
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip 101 with surface 101b free of circuitry assembled on a metal carrier 102 by an attachment layer 103 with thickness 103a. Included in layer 103 are metal bodies 104 and an adhesive polymeric compound 105 between bodies 104. Metal bodies 104 form metal inter-diffusions with carrier 102 and extend from the carrier across thickness 103a, stopping at and contacting second chip surface 101b. The high thermal conductivity of metal bodies 104 greatly increases the thermal conductivity of the attachment layer. The metal bodies may be arrayed in a regularly spaced pattern in x- and y-directions, as well as in enhanced concentrations in locations of thermal hot spots and of high thermomechnical stresses. In the latter application, the metal bodies prevent the growth of microcracks and delamination.

  • Dynamic stability, gain, efficiency and impedance control in a linear/non-linear CMOS power amplifier
    Publication number: 20110070848
    Abstract: A power amplifier (PA) provides dynamic stability and gain control for linear and non-linear operation. The PA operates with a baseband processor and a transmitter, in which the PA receives a signal from the transmitter for power amplification prior to transmission of the signal. The PA is configured to select between the linear mode of operation and the non-linear mode of operation, in which device scaling within the PA is achieved by changing a device sizing of at least one stage of the PA. Further to changing the device size, the PA changes biasing resistance and impedance of a matching network in response to the changing of the device size to control power output and stability for the PA.

  • PROGRESSIVE REGISTRATION FOR MOBILE MEDIA SHARING
    Publication number: 20110072096
    Abstract: A media sharing system accommodates passively registered users, who receive information from the system but do not provide content media to the system, and actively registered users, who provide content to the system and then share it with others.

  • Individualized Time-to-Live for Reputation Scores of Computer Files
    Publication number: 20110067101
    Abstract: An individualized time-to-live (TTL) is determined for a reputation score of a computer file. The TTL is determined based on the reputation score and the confidence in the reputation score. The confidence can be determined based on attributes such as the reputation score, an age of the file, and a prevalence of the file. The reputation score is used to determine whether the file is malicious during a validity period defined by the TTL, and discarded thereafter.
