    摘要: A piezoresistive pressure sensor (30) has four resistive diffused regions (32) coupled into a bridge configuration (33) with four junctions (36). Each of the diffused regions has a first end connected to one of the four junctions and a second end connected to a different one of the four junctions. There are four contact diffusion terminals (34) disposed in contact with the bridge configuration, and each of the diffusion terminals is disposed at one of the four junctions such that the diffused regions are electrically connected essentially only by the contact diffusion terminals. Thus, no tap is required to electrically connect the contact diffusion terminals to the resistive diffused regions of the bridge, which results in increased sensor sensitivity.

    摘要: A hybrid multi-chip module includes semiconductor chips (27,31) bonded to a base plate (24). The base plate includes a substrate (11) having two surfaces (12,13) and a conductive material (32) molded on the two surfaces (12,13). A coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between the substrate (11) and the conductive material (32) at the first surface (12) is balanced by a similar, but opposite, CTE mismatch between the substrate (11) and the conductive material (32) at the second surface (13). The CTE mismatch balance across the base plate (24) produces a base plate (24) having a substantially planar form at high temperatures.

    摘要: A solder bump (30, 124) is formed on a circuit trace by a method that includes depositing onto the trace a uniform thin plate (26, 124) of solder alloy and reflowing the solder alloy to form the bump. In one aspect of this invention, the trace comprises first and second linear sections (18, 20) that intersect at an intersection (22) whereat the bump is formed. In another aspect of this invention, the trace includes a terminal (116) having an enlarged terminal pad (118) connected to a runner section (120), whereupon the bump forms at the pad. The solder plate is deposited, preferably by electroplating, at a thickness between about 10 and 25 microns. Thereafter, when the trace is heated to melt the solder layer, the solder coalesces to form the bump having a height preferably greater than 40 microns.

    摘要: The output frequency (14) of an oscillator circuit (10) can be controlled by replacing at least one of the reactive components (40), such as a capacitor or inductor, with a synthesized element (22). The synthesized element creates a signal that corresponds to the response of the reactive component it is replacing. The synthesized element may be a current source (44), such as a field effect transistor, that is capable of operating at low voltages.

    摘要: A ferro-electric memory array (41) having a reduced size and increased performance is disclosed herein. The ferro-electric memory array (41) is arrayed in memory cell columns and memory cell rows. Each memory cell column shares a BIT or BITBAR line with an adjacent memory cell column. Two row enable lines are provided to each memory cell row. The row enable lines alternately couple to memory cells of a memory cell row to prevent a contention condition. Sharing BIT and BITBAR lines with adjacent memory cell columns reduces a width of the ferro-electric memory array (41) which reduces the resistance on each line CP for a memory cell row. The result is a memory array that is capable of operating at higher speeds. Also, using more than one row enable line in each row reduces the number of memory cells accessed in a read or write operation. This increases the endurance of the ferro-electric memory array (41) by a factor of two.

    摘要: A method for probing a semiconductor wafer utilizes an array probe assembly (60) which includes a production package substrate (64). Substrate (64) is used to transform a configuration of conductive pads (74) on a probe card (62) into a configuration which matches that of conductive bumps (54) on a semiconductor die (52). Array probe assembly (60) may also include an array probe head (68) having probe wires (84) for coupling conductive pads (80) on substrate (64) with conductive bumps (54) on die (52). After probing the die, the die are assembled into a final packaged semiconductor device (110) which includes a substrate (90) which is nearly identical to the substrate used in the array probe assembly. Use of a prodution package substrate in the array probe assembly reduces the cost of the array probe assembly, and results in more accurate testing since the substrate in the array probe assembly will emulate the performance of the die in the final packaged device.

    摘要: The reliability of integrated circuits fabricated with trench isolation is improved by forming a trench isolation structure with a void-free trench plug (36). In one embodiment, a polysilicon layer (28) is formed within a trench (22) and then subsequently oxidized to form a first dielectric layer (30). The first dielectric layer (30) is then etched and a second dielectric layer (34) is subsequently formed over the etched dielectric layer (32). A portion of the second dielectric layer (34) is then removed using chemical-mechanical polishing to form a void-free trench plug (36) within the trench (22). In addition, reliability is also improved by minimizing subsequent etching of trench plug (36) after it has been formed.
