Patent number: 10672748Abstract: A composite structure is a stack of thinned substrates each having a plurality of active devices of the same or different technologies. An assembled carrier substrate includes die assembled into cavities formed on the carrier substrate such that when the die rest within the cavity, a gap is formed between a bottom surface of the die and a bottom surface of the cavity. This gap removes contact stress applied to the bottom of the die. Another gap can also be formed above the die. Either gap can be filled with a low-stress material. A yield improvement process functionally and physically partitions a conceptual large area die into an array of separate die modules of smaller area. The separate die modules are assembled into an array of cavities formed in a carrier substrate and interconnected to achieve a combined functionality equivalent to the functionality of the conceptual large area die.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Pirooz Parvarandeh

Patent number: 10546927Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming self-aligned transistor structures including two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) source/drain tip portions or tips. In some cases, the 2DEG source/drain tips utilize polarization doping to enable ultra-short transistor channel lengths of less than 20 nm, for example, and create highly conductive, thin source/drain tip portions in transistor devices. In some instances, the 2DEG source/drain tips can be formed by self-aligned regrowth of a polarization layer over a base III-V compound layer and on either side of a dummy gate, in locations to be substantially covered by spacers. In some cases, the III-V base layer may include gallium nitride (GaN) or indium gallium nitride (InGaN), for example, and the polarization layer may include aluminum indium nitride (AlInN), aluminum nitride (AlN), aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN), or aluminum indium gallium nitride (AlInGaN), for example.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2015Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: INTEL CorporationInventors: Han Wui Then, Sansaptak Dasgupta, Marko Radosavljevic, Sanaz K.

Patent number: 10515929Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) chip carrier includes one or more memory devices therein. The memory is integrated into the carrier prior to the IC chip being connected to the carrier. Therefore, the IC chip may be connected to the memory at the same time as the IC chip is connected to the carrier. Because the memory is integrated into the IC chip carrier, prior to the IC chip being attached thereto, reliability concerns that result from attaching the memory to the IC chip carrier affect the IC chip carrier and do not affect the yield of the relatively more expensive IC chip.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Charles L. Arvin, Brian M. Erwin, Mark W. Kapfhammer, Brian W. Quinlan, Charles L. Reynolds, Thomas Weiss
