Abstract: In an anisotropic conductive film including conductive particles, and a bump, and a packaging structure of a semiconductor chip having the anisotropic conductive film and the bump, the anisotropic conductive film includes a resin layer and the conductive particles. The anisotropic conductive film electrically connects an electrode of a substrate and the bump of a semiconductor chip. A volume ratio of the conductive particles to the resin layer is about 0.1 to about 0.12. A number of the conductive particles per cubic millimeter (mm3) is about 4 millions to about 7 millions. A standard deviation of heights of the bumps is no more than about 0.25. An interval between each of the bumps and an electrode of the substrate is no more than about 1.3 ?m. Therefore, the size of each of the conductive particles is optimized so that a failure probability of the open circuit is decreased.

Abstract: A system and method for time synchronization on a network is provided. According to the system and method for time synchronization, a slave clock device does not continuously receive a time synchronization message periodically transferred from a master clock device and thus does not correct its time upon all such occasions. Rather, the slave clock device requests time information from the master clock device only when the slave clock device needs to correct its time, and receives a time synchronization message transferred from the master clock device and compensates for its time deviation only while the slave clock device is activated, thereby reducing its power consumption and amount of computation.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for dynamically managing hierarchical flows that more efficiently process packet traffic while maintaining compatibility with an existing packet data network in transferring both circuit traffic and packet traffic in a packet switched network. The method for dynamically managing hierarchical flows includes: receiving data packets, classifying the data packets according to attributes of the received data packets, and producing first flows; determining whether traffic of each of the first flows exceeds a predetermined bandwidth limit, and performing a packet drop process or producing second flows for first flows that exceed the bandwidth limit, according to a flow-specific policy; and performing second flow processing on the second flows according to a second flow policy. Only flows exceeding the bandwidth limit or causing congestion are hierarchically divided for management. This makes it possible to finely manage the flows without complex operations.
