Abstract:
This invention relates to novel antibodies that bind with greater affinity to the factor VIIa/tissue factor (FVIIa/TF) complex than to tissue factor (TF) alone, do not compete for binding to TF with FVII and FX, an inhibit FX activation. The antibodies bind at the site of injury and prevent the initiation of thrombosis. The antibodies can be used to treat a variety of thrombotic conditions including but not limited to deep vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and acute coronary syndrome.
Abstract:
A connection component for use in making microelectronic element assemblies which has peelable leads that are formed on a dielectric support structure. One end of each lead is permanently connected to the support structure and the opposite end of the lead is releasably connected to the support structure. When the releasable end of the lead is bonded to a contact on a semiconductor chip, the releasable end of the lead can be peeled from the support structure such that the chip may be moved away from the support structure. A compliant layer may be disposed between the chip and the support structure. If a compliant material is injected between the chip and the support structure to form the compliant layer, the compliant material will lift the chip away from the support structure and facilitate the peeling of the leads from the support structure.

Abstract:
A connection component for a microelectronic element includes a body of dielectric material having opposing first and second surfaces. A plurality of elongated leads extend through the body between the first and second surfaces. The leads have a first end accessible at the first surface and a second end accessible at the second surface. A layer of anisotropic conductive material overlies the first ends and the first surface of the body for electrical connection of the leads to a microelectronic element.
Abstract:
A method of electrically interconnecting microelectronic elements comprises providing a first microelectronic element having contacts with protrusions and dipping the protrusions into a layer of bonding material. At least some of the bonding material is transferred onto the contacts. The contacts are bonded to conductive features of a second microelectronic element.
Abstract:
A method of making a microelectronic assembly includes providing a first microelectronic element having one or more conductive bumps, the conductive bumps including a first fusible material that transforms from a solid to a liquid at a first melting temperature, and providing a second microelectronic element having one or more conductive elements. The conductive bumps of the first microelectronic element are electrically interconnected with the conductive elements of the second microelectronic element using a second fusible material, the second fusible material having a second melting temperature that is lower than the first melting temperature of the first fusible material. During the electrically interconnecting step, the second fusible material is maintained at a temperature that is greater than or equal to the second melting temperature and less than the first melting temperature of the first fusible material. The method also includes testing the microelectronic assembly after the electrically interconnecting step while maintaining the second fusible material at a temperature that is greater than or equal to the second melting temperature.
Abstract:
A connection component is made by providing an assembly comprising a base layer of a dielectric material, a metal layer overlying the base layer, and a top layer of a plasma-etchable material overlying the metal layer; forming openings in the top layer to produce a top layer mask; and forming first conductive elements from the metal layer by removing metal from regions of the metal layer aligned with the openings in the top layer mask. This method may be used to form a connection component having vias or bond windows formed therein for connection with other elements of a microelectronic device and conductive elements may be formed on either or both sides of the base layer.

Abstract:
A layered lead is disclosed including a layer of structural material which has top and bottom sides, a layer of fatigue-resistant material on the top and bottom surfaces and a layer of bonding material covering the fatigue-resistant layer on the bottom surface for connection to a contact on a chip. An asymmetrical distribution of bonding material on the top and bottom sides may be used to provide reinforcement of the lead against stress. The fatigue-resistant material also acts as a barrier against diffusion between the metal layers.
