Abstract:
In integrated semiconductor circuits comprising a plurality of active and passive devices interconnected by conductive means into a selected circuit configuration, the improvement wherein said circuit configuration is arranged so as to be free of possible paths displaying reactance which would be alternative to selected substantially reactanceless paths terminating in critical circuit nodes in the event of structural failure of one of said reactanceless paths, whereby the DC testing of the integrated circuit is not affected by such alternative paths.
Abstract:
AN IMPROVED SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP PACKAGE A substrate for packaging semiconductor chips is provided which is structured with conductors having opposite ends terminating in a mounting surface and intermediate portions extending beneath the surface. The ends of the conductors are arranged in repeating patterns longitudinally along the substrate separated by orthogonal strips free of conductor ends to allow for dense surface wiring. The repeating patterns are arranged to allow for chip mounting sites having sufficient spacing to allow for surface wiring. In this way chips in the same and repeat pattern can be connected by personalized surface wiring and preset subsurface conductors.
Abstract:
ULTRA HIGH DENSITY THREE-DIMENSIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES Three-dimensional semiconductor structures are taught in which various device types are formed from a plurality of planar layers on a substrate. The major process steps include the formation of a plurality of alternating layers of material, including semiconductor and dielectric materials, forming a vertical access hole in the layers, processing the layers selectively to form active or passive semiconductor devices, and filling the access hole with a conductor. The ultimate structure includes a three-dimensional memory array in which entire dynamic memory cells are fabricated in a stacked vertical orientation above support circuitry formed on a planar surface.
Abstract:
The substrate is connected to a metal pattern on a supporting substrate. The method involves making holes in a first plane monocrystal substrate (20); and application of a metallised system on this substrate, with contacts ending at the holes. Metal pins are inserted in the holes; and pins with preformed solder rings are provided. The arrangement is then heated until solder melts and flows in the holes with pins, thus connecting pins with the metallising system; A carrier substrate (12) is provided with a metallurgical system whose contact spots are arranged in a platform corresponding to that of holes in the SC substrate. The ends of the pins are connected with the contact spots.
