Abstract:
In a storage array wherein several locations are simultaneously accessed, each location includes a circuit settable to one of two conditions by signals on lines defining its position. Defining the storage position by three lines, ''''horizontal,'''' ''''vertical'''' and ''''diagonal,'''' each circuit may be selected by activating its diagonal line and either the horizontal or vertical line for that circuit. The storage cell is a solid-stage flip-flop with two cross-coupled active devices and additional active device for each of the three driving lines. Connections to each circuit through selected ones of the vertical and horizontal lines communicate information on the inactivated line.
Abstract:
POLYIMIDE-INSULATED CUBE PACKAGE OF STACKED SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE CHIPS A cube package of stacked silicon semiconductor chips. To accommodate cube packaging, a metal transfer layer is added over the passivated chip face to bring all of the surface electrical contacts to a common chip edge. The metal transfer layer is insulated from the chip face and from the adjacent chip in the stack by polymer layers having a low dielectric constant, and a thermal expansion coefficient matching that of the stacked chips. An adhesive polymer layer is added to strengthen the bond between the first polymer layers and the adjacent chip in the stack, by deposition of the adhesive layer and partial cure at the wafer level, and then full cure when the chips are stacked together to form the cube.

Abstract:
METHOD OF BONDING WIRES TO PASSIVATED CHIP MICROCIRCUIT CONDUCTORS A wire is positioned in intimate contact with a microcircuit hip above a conductor line or pad on the chip. The line is protected by a thin film layer of passivating or insulating material deposited upon the chip. A short pulse, focussed, energy source such as a laser beam drills a hole through or on the edge of the wire, and also opens a hole drawn through the insulating material to expose the conductor line. Then energy is directed upon the portion of the wire surrounding the hole to melt metal from the wire down into the hole which coalesces with molten metal below to form an electrical and mechanical bond of the wire to the line.
