    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a micro-battery is provided. The method includes forming a micro-battery device by forming a first metal anode via and a first metal cathode via in a first substrate, forming a first metal layer on a bottom side of the first substrate, forming a first battery element on a top side of the substrate, forming an encapsulation layer around the first battery element, forming trenches through the encapsulation layer and the first substrate on different sides of the first battery element, and forming a metal sealing layer in the trenches to cover at least a plurality of sidewall surfaces of the first battery element. The metal sealing layer is electrically connected to the battery element through the first metal layer and the first metal cathode via.

    Abstract: Techniques regarding one or more NFC antennas that can comprise vertically stacked coils of electrically conductive material are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise an apparatus, which can comprise can a first substrate layer that can comprise a first coil of electrically conductive material that can be wound in a first direction. The apparatus can also comprise a second substrate layer that can comprise a second coil of electrically conductive material that can be wound in a second direction opposite the first direction. The first substrate layer can be stacked onto the second substrate layer. Also, the first coil of electrically conductive material can be operably coupled to the second coil of electrically conductive material through an interconnection via to form an NFC antenna.

    Abstract: Techniques for high speed handling of ultra-small chips (e.g., micro-chips) by selective laser bonding and/or debonding are provided. In one aspect, a method includes: providing a first wafer including chips bonded to a surface thereof; contacting the first wafer with a second wafer, the second wafer including a substrate bonded to a surface thereof, wherein the contacting aligns individual chips with bonding sites on the substrate; and debonding the individual chips from the first wafer using a debonding laser having a small spot size of about 0.5 μm to about 100 μm, and ranges therebetween. A system is also provided that has digital cameras, a motorized XYZ-axis stage, and a computer control system configured to i) control a spot size of the at least one laser source and ii) adjust a positioning of the sample to align individual chips with a target area of the laser.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing integrated devices, and a stacked integrated device are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method comprises providing a substrate; mounting at least a first electronic component on the substrate; positioning a handle wafer above the first electronic component; attaching the first electronic component to the substrate via electrical connectors between the first electronic component and the substrate; and while attaching the first electronic component to the substrate, using the handle wafer to apply pressure, toward the substrate, to the first electronic component, to manage planarity of the first electronic component during the attaching. In an embodiment, a joining process is used to attach the first electronic component to the substrate via the electrical connectors. For example, thermal compression bonding may be used to attach the first electronic component to the substrate via the electrical connectors.
