摘要:
Data regarding printing instructions for an active electronic component are provided (11). These printing instructions will typically comprise instructions regarding the location, geometry, size, orientation, and functional inks used for various component layers as correspond to the electronic component, and are without reference to a specific printing system. This data is then modified (12) as a function of one or more operational proclivities of a particular high throughput additive printing system to provide modified instructions that, when employed to effect the printing of the active electronic component, will improve the resultant yield as compared to the unmodified data.

Organic field effect transistors (OFETs) can be created rapidly and at low cost on organic films by using a multilayer film (202) that has an electrically conducting layer (204, 206) on each side of a dielectric core. The electrically conducting layer is patterned to form gate electrodes (214), and a polymer film (223) is attached onto the gate electrode side of the multilayer dielectric film, using heat and pressure (225) or an adhesive layer (228). A source electrode and a drain electrode (236) are then fashioned on the remaining side of the multilayer dielectric film, and an organic semiconductor (247) is deposited over the source and drain electrodes, so as to fill the gap between the source and drain electrodes and touch a portion of the dielectric film to create an organic field effect transistor.
摘要:
A functional ink (200) suitable for use as a dielectric layer (303) in a printed semiconductor device (300) comprises a dielectric carrier (201) and a plurality of dielectric particles (202) sized less than about 1,000 nanometers that are disposed within the dielectric carrier. In a preferred approach the dielectric carrier comprises a dielectric resin and the dielectric particles comprise a ferroelectric material (such as, but not limited to, BaTiO3. So provided, this functional ink can be applied to a substrate (301) of choice through a printing technique of choice to thereby provide a resultant printed semiconductor device, such as a field effect transistor, having a relatively thin dielectric layer comprised of this functional ink.

摘要:
An apparatus (200) such as a semiconductor device comprises a gate electrode (201) and at least a first electrode (202). The first electrode preferably has an established perimeter that at least partially overlaps with respect to the gate electrode to thereby form a corresponding transistor channel. In a preferred approach the first electrode has a surface area that is reduced notwithstanding the aforementioned established perimeter. This, in turn, aids in reducing any corresponding parasitic capacitance. This reduction in surface area may be accomplished, for example, by providing openings (203) through certain portions of the first electrode.
摘要:
A printing platform receives (102) (preferably in-line with a semiconductor device printing process (101)) a substrate having at least one semiconductor device printed thereon and further having a test structure printed thereon, which test structure comprises at least one printed semiconductor layer. These teachings then provide for the automatic testing (103) of the test structure with respect to at least one static (i.e., relatively unchanging) electrical characteristic metric. The static electrical characteristic metric (or metrics) of choice will likely vary with the application setting but can include, for example, a measure of electrical resistance, a measure of electrical reactance, and/or a measure of electrical continuity. Optionally (though preferably) the semiconductor device printing process itself is then adjusted (105) as a function, at least in part, of this metric.

The density (and hence thickness) of a functional ink layer (41) as comprises a part of an active printed electronic component (71) is determined through interaction (13) of the functional ink with light. This information, in turn, facilitates assessment (14) of the likely corresponding electrical performance of the electronic component. When the functional ink comprises a transparent material, a dye can be added to facilitate the desired interaction and assessment.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for writing to solid-state memory is provided herein. In particular, a controller is provided that monitors operating parameters of each die within the system. In order to enable fast, real-time write operations, feedback from each die is analyzed and compared with a stored set of operating parameters. Based on this comparison, a particular die is chosen for write operations such that system performance is optimized.
摘要:
A wafer (10) having integrated circuit elements formed therein is thinned and a first carrier (41) is adhered thereto. The first carrier (41) facilitates handling of the thinned wafer (30). A second carrier (51) is then adhered as well and the various integrated circuits are singulated to yield a plurality of thinned die (81). Once the thinned die is mounted to a desired substrate (91), the first carrier (41) is readily removed. In one embodiment, the first carrier (41) has an adhesive that becomes less adherent when exposed to a predetermined stimulus (such as a given temperature range or a given frequency range of photonic energy). Such thinned die (or modules containing such die) are readily amenable to stacking in order to achieve significantly increased circuit densities.

An electronic apparatus, includes a plurality of electronic modules, each having a maximum thickness of no more than 90 microns, each comprising a substrate having a two sided edge connection pattern. The electronic modules are arranged adjacent to each other. Each pad of a first set of connection pads on a first electronic module is conductively connected to an opposing pad of a second set of connection pads of a second electronic module. The first set of connection pads is separated from the second set of connection pads by electrically conductive material that is less than 15 microns thick.
