45 results about "Wafer-scale integration" patented technology

Wafer-scale integration, WSI for short, is a rarely used system of building very-large integrated circuit networks that use an entire silicon wafer to produce a single "super-chip". Combining large size and reduced packaging, WSI was expected to lead to dramatically reduced costs for some systems, notably massively parallel supercomputers. The name is taken from the term very-large-scale integration, the current state of the art when WSI was being developed.

Hermetic wafer scale integrated circuit structure

A wafer scale semiconductor integrated circuit packaging technique provides a hermetic seal for the individual integrated circuit die formed as part of the wafer scale structure. A semiconductor wafer is manufactured to include a number of individual semiconductor die. Each individual die formed on the wafer includes a number of bond pads that are exposed on the die surface in various locations to provide electrical connections to the circuitry created on the die. The wafer further includes a planar glass sheet that is substantially the same size as the wafer, the glass sheet being adhered to the wafer using a suitable adhesive. The glass sheet has a number of pre-formed holes in it, the arrangement of the pre-formed holes corresponding to the location of the bond pads at each of the individual semiconductor die formed as part of the wafer structure. Following adherence of the glass sheet to the semiconductor wafer utilizing the intermediate adhesive material, metal connections are made between pads formed on the glass sheet and the bond pads formed on the integrated circuit die. Solder balls are then attached to the pads on the glass sheet to provide a conductive flow between the solder balls and the bond pads. After the solder balls are attached, trenches are cut around each of the individual die on the wafer. The trenches are cut at an angle and extend through the glass sheet and the intermediate adhesive material and into the semiconductor substrate in which the integrated circuits are formed. After the trenches are cut around each individual semiconductor die, a noble metal is deposited on the sidewalls of the trench to extend over the interface between the glass sheet, the adhesive material and the semiconductor die. The wafer is then cut along the noble metal lined trenches to provide individual, hermetically sealed packaged integrated circuit die.

Finger asperity resistive discharge wafer-scale integration for forensic palm print collection

Techniques are disclosed herein for artificial intelligence machine learning to increase collection of digital livescan fingerprints. According to certain embodiments of the invention, processing parameters can be automatically machine-optimized for processing scan images of fingerprints (and other areas) to increase the amount of detected minutia. The processing parameters can alter and change over time to reflect historical successes and failures of particular optimizations. This allows a fingerprint collection device to learn over time and become more accurate (i.e., more successful at detecting minutia). Additionally, the techniques further include receiving input from a user regarding physical traits of a scanned subject, to further customize the processing parameter optimization. Various other features are provided herein.

Supercomputer using wafer scale integration

A semiconductor structure includes a substrate with cooling layers, cooling channels, coolant inlets and outlets in fluid communication with the cooling channels, and a device layer on the cooling layers with one or more connection points and a device layer area. The device layer thermal coefficient of expansion is substantially equal to that of the cooling layers. A plurality of laminate substrates are disposed on, and electrically attached to, the device layer. The laminate substrate thermal coefficient of expansion differs from that of the device layer, each laminate substrate is smaller than the device layer portion to which it is attached, and each laminate substrate includes gaps between sides of adjacent laminate substrates. The laminate substrates are not electrically or mechanically connected to each other across the gaps therebetween and the laminate substrates are small enough to prevent warping of the device, interconnection and cooling layers due to thermal expansion.
