Abstract:
A plurality of approaches for forming a semiconductor device using an adaptive patterning method is disclosed. Some approaches include placing a semiconductor die unit on a carrier element, calculating trace geometry for a second set of traces, constructing a prestratum comprising a first set of traces, and constructing the second set of traces according to the calculated trace geometry. Forming the semiconductor device may further include electrically connecting at least one of the first set of traces to at least one of the second set of traces, and electrically connecting at least one bond pad of the semiconductor die unit to a destination pad through the at least one of the first set of traces and the at least one of the second set of traces.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions and methods useful for inducing an immunogenic response in a subject or host. In particular, the compositions and methods may be directed to carbohydrate HIV vaccines and to methods of producing a carbohydrate HIV vaccine by introducing antigenic sugars into mimics of the glycans of the HIV envelope glycoproteins gp120 and gp41.
Abstract:
Methods of producing a carbohydrate HIV vaccine or immunogenic composition are provided. One method comprises expressing a glycoprotein with a modified glycosylation, which facilitates binding of the glycoprotein to the 2G12 antibody. Another method comprises iteratively selecting cells with a high affinity for the 2G12 antibody.
Abstract:
A package includes both a flip chip mounted active chip component and a passive chip component. To form the package, a solder paste is screened onto a passive chip component contact on an upper surface of a substrate. A terminal of the passive chip component is aligned with the solder paste. The solder paste is melted to form a solder joint between the passive chip component contact and the terminal. Solder flux residue from the solder paste is removed. A solder bump is formed on a bond pad of an active chip component. The solder bump is aligned with an active chip component contact on the upper surface of the substrate. The solder bump is melted to form a bump between the active chip component contact and the bond pad, wherein the solder joint does not melt during the melting of the solder bump.
Abstract:
A package includes both a flip chip mounted active Chip component and a passive chip component. The flip chip bumps between the bond pads of the active chip component and the substrate are low impedance. Further, by mounting the active chip component as a flip chip, the area on the substrate occupied by the active chip component is approximately equal to the area of the active chip component.
