Patent number: 10903543Abstract: Signal transmission structures within a printed circuit are formed to have reduced loss by making specific accommodations to reduce the surface roughness of an adjacent power plane, and thereby reducing the effects of magnetically induced currents. The power plane structure will retain sufficient surface roughness to accommodate manufacturing operations, while also contributing to reduced signal transmission losses in the adjacent signal transmission structure. The transmission structures thereby being capable of more efficiently transmitting high speed signals without undesired attenuation and loss.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2016Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventor: Andy Becker

Patent number: 10872655Abstract: Instant optical DRAM data erasure can be performed. In wafer level packaging (chip scale package) die is usually on top (flip-chip) and metal interconnections does not interfere with penetrating light during chip illumination. IR light penetrates through chip's thin epoxy on top and deeply into die. Light is absorbed in the die, near active layer, generating electron-hole pairs. Electron-hole pairs diffuse to chip active layer and generate discharging photocurrents in DRAM capacitors.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Inventor: Goran Krilic
