Abstract:
In a stacked chip configuration, and manufacturing methods thereof, the gap between a lower and an upper chip is filled completely using a relatively simple process that eliminates voids between the lower and upper chips and the cracking and delamination problems associated with such voids. The present invention is applicable to both chip-level bonding and wafer-level bonding approaches. A photosensitive polymer layer is applied to a first chip, or wafer, prior to stacking the chips or stacking the wafers. The photosensitive polymer layer is partially cured, so that the photosensitive polymer layer is made to be structurally stable, while retaining its adhesive properties. The second chip, or wafer, is stacked, aligned, and bonded to the first chip, or wafer, and the photosensitive polymer layer is then cured to fully bond the first and second chips, or wafers. In this manner, adhesion between chips/wafers is greatly improved, while providing complete gap fill. In addition, mechanical reliability is improved, alleviating the problems associated with cracking and delamination, and leading to an improvement in device yield and device reliability.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for channel selection in power line communications (PLC) are described. In some embodiments, a method may include defining a plurality of frames, each frame having a plurality of time slots. The method may also include assembling a pair of beacon and bandscan packets within each of time slot of each frame. The method may further include sequentially transmitting each of the frames over a corresponding one of a plurality of different frequency bands. In some implementations, each bandscan packet may include a slot index indicating a position of its time slot within its respective frame and/or a band index indicating one of the plurality of different frequency bands. In response to having transmitted the plurality of frames, the method may include receiving one or more packets indicating a selection of one or more of the plurality of different frequency bands to be used in subsequent communications.
