  • Patent number: 11973040
    Abstract: A method is provided for forming an integrated circuit (IC) chip package structure. The method includes providing a substrate for an interposer, and forming a conductive interconnect structure in and on the substrate for connecting a group of selected IC dies. The method includes forming warpage-reducing trenches in non-routing regions of the interposer, wherein the warpage-reducing trenches are sized and positioned based on a warpage characteristic to reduce the warpage of the chip package structure. The method also includes depositing a warpage-relief material in the warpage-reducing trenches according to the warpage characteristic to reduce the warpage of the chip package structure, and bonding the group of selected IC dies to the interposer to form a chip package structure.

  • Patent number: 7193547
    Abstract: A DAC/ADC system for generating reference clocks for DAC/ADC by a look-up table method. The DAC/ADC system includes a sampling signal generator, a DAC, and an ADC. The sampling signal generator generates first and second sampling signals according to first and second reference clocks by a look-up table method, respectively. The DAC receives a digital input signal and converts it into an analog output signal according to the first sampling signal. The ADC receives an analog input signal and converts it into a digital output signal according to the second sampling signal.
