  • LOW-COST FLIP-CHIP INTERCONNECT WITH AN INTEGRATED WAFER-APPLIED PHOTO-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE AND METAL-LOADED EPOXY PASTE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100159644
    Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments provide materials and methods for flip-chip packaging technology. The disclosed flip-chip packaging technology can use a single B-stage wafer-applied photo-sensitive adhesive along with printed interconnects, which does not include conventional underfill materials and processes. In one embodiment, a photo-sensitive adhesive can be applied on a semiconductor die or a base substrate with conductive bumps printed in through-openings of the photo-sensitive adhesive. One or more semiconductor dies can be laterally packaged or vertically stacked on the base substrate using the printed conductive bumps as interconnects there-between.

  • GENE EXPRESSION MARKERS FOR PREDICTION OF PATIENT RESPONSE TO CHEMOTHERAPY
    Publication number: 20090305277
    Abstract: The present invention relates to gene sets useful in assessing prognosis and/or predicting the response of cancer, e.g. colorectal cancer to chemotherapy. In addition, the invention relates to a clinically validated cancer test, e.g. colorectal test, for assessment of prognosis and/or prediction of patient response to chemotherapy, using expression analysis. The present invention accommodates the use of archived paraffin embedded biopsy material for assay of all markers in the relevant gene sets and therefore is compatible with the most widely available type of biopsy material.
