Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a method of forming a system-in-a-package includes providing a first substrate, coupling a first die to a top surface of the first substrate, coupling one or more surface mount devices to a top surface of a second substrate, coupling the second substrate to a top surface of the first die, interconnecting the first substrate, the second substrate, and the first die, and encapsulating the first die, the second substrate and the surface mount devices.

Abstract: The invention provides apparatus, systems, and methods for positioning solder balls in a desired arrangement on a surface. In preferred embodiments of the invention, a vacuum head body is configured to direct a vacuum force through a vacuum chamber wherein a permeable vacuum plate encloses the vacuum chamber. A stencil adjacent to the vacuum plate includes solder ball niches configured to capture solder balls. The vacuum head may be used to pick up solder balls within the solder ball niches by way of vacuum force, and may be caused to release the solder balls from the solder ball niches by relaxing the vacuum force. According to particular preferred embodiments, the permeable vacuum plate is a porous metallic plate, such as a plate of sintered metal. Preferred embodiments also disclose interchangeable stencils for use with the permeable vacuum plate.

Abstract: An embodiment of an apparatus includes a surface and a projector to project light onto the surface. The embodiment further includes a first lens array to receive the light from a first region of the surface and a second lens array to receive the light from a second region of the surface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for stacking passive component devices on a substrate. A conductive material is printed onto a first substrate using a fluid ejection device to form a printed passive device according to a predetermined design. The first substrate is attached to a second substrate, such as a die, to form a component for performing a predetermined function. The component may then be tested to determine whether the component formed according to the predetermined design performs the predetermined function. The design may be adjusted in response to the test to improve the performance of the component in performing the predetermined function. Multiple substrates having printed passive devices may be stacked and electrically connected to the die or other substrate in order to increase the number of devices formed on a particular area of that die or other substrate.

Abstract: A semiconductor system (100) enabled by an interposer (101) with non-reflow metal studs (251), preferably gold, coated with reflow metals (252), preferably solder. The studs are on exit ports (220, 230, etc) of the interposer surface; selected exit ports may be spaced apart by less than 125 ?m center to center. A first electrical device (102), such as one or more semiconductor chips with contact pads matching the locations of the interposer exit ports, contacts the studs on one interposer surface. A second electrical device (104), such as a semiconductor chip, a passive component, or both, is attached to the other interposer surface. A carrier (106) supports the first device and provides electrical connections (109) to external parts.
