Abstract:
By filling an air gap between tiers (31,32) of a stacked IC device with a thermally conductive material (320) heat generated at one or more locations within one of the tiers can be laterally displaced. The lateral displacement of the heat can be along the full length of the tier and the thermal materia can be electrically insulating. Through silicon-vias (331) can be constructe at certain locations to assist in heat dissipation away from thermally troubled locations (310).

Abstract:
Mediante el relleno de un espacio de aire entre las capas (31,32) de un dispositivo IC apilado con un material térmicamente conductor (320), se puede desplazar lateralmente el calor generado en una o más ubicaciones dentro de una de las capas. El desplazamiento lateral del calor puede ser a lo largo de la longitud total de la capa y el material térmico se puede aislar eléctricamente. En ciertas ubicaciones se pueden construir interconexiones de silicio continuas (331) para ayudar en la disipación de calor lejos de las ubicaciones (310) con problemas térmicos.
Abstract:
External memory having a high density, high latency memory block; and a low density, low latency memory block. The two memory blocks may be separately accessed by one or more processing functional units. The access may be a direct memory access, or by way of a bus or fabric switch. Through-die vias may connect the external memory to a die comprising the one or more processing functional units.
