Abstract:
Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to receive system information change notifications from an eNodeB is disclosed. The UE can receive one or more system information (SI) change notifications that indicate a change has occurred in one or more system information blocks (SIBs). The UE can receive a SIB1 that is associated with a value tag, and the SIB1 can include a bit-map that indicates which of the one or more SIBs include a change. The UE can compare the value tag associated with the SIB1 with a value tag stored at the UE. The UE can obtain scheduling information for the one or more SIBs that include a change according to the bitmap when the value tag associated with the SIB1 does not equal to the value tag stored at the UE. The UE can retrieve the SIBs that include a change using the scheduling information.
Abstract:
A coreless package substrate with dual side solder resist layers is disclosed. The coreless package substrate has a top side and a bottom side opposite of the top side and includes a single build-up structure formed of at least one insulating layer, at least one via, and at least one conductive layer. The coreless package substrate also includes a bottom plurality of contact pads on the bottom side, and a top plurality of contact pads on the top side. A bottom solder resist layer is on the bottom side, and a top solder resist layer is on the top side. The concept of dual side solder resist is extended to packages with interconnect bridge with C4 interconnection pitch over a wide range.
Abstract:
Transmission lines with a first dielectric material separating signal traces and a second dielectric material separating the signal traces from a ground plane. In embodiments, mutual capacitance is tuned relative to self-capacitance to reverse polarity of far end crosstalk between a victim and aggressor channel relative to that induced by other interconnect portions along the length of the channels, such as inductively coupled portions. In embodiments, a transmission line for a single-ended channel includes a material of a higher dielectric constant within the same routing plane as a microstrip or stripline conductor, and a material of a lower dielectric constant between the conductor and the ground plane(s). In embodiments, a transmission line for a differential pair includes a material of a lower dielectric constant within the same routing plane as a microstrip or stripline conductors, and a material of a higher dielectric constant between the conductors and the ground plane(s).
Abstract:
Some embodiments described herein include apparatuses and methods of forming such apparatuses. One such embodiment may include a routing arrangement having pads to be coupled to a semiconductor die, with a first trace coupled to a first pad among the pads, and a second trace coupled to a second pad among the pads. The first and second traces may have different thicknesses. Other embodiments including additional apparatuses and methods are described.
Abstract:
Package substrates enabling reduced bump pitches and package assemblies thereof. Surface-level metal features are embedded in a surface-level dielectric layer with surface finish protruding from a top surface of the surface-level dielectric for assembly, without solder resist, to an IC chip having soldered connection points. Package substrates are fabricated to enable multiple levels of trace routing with each trace routing level capable of reduced minimum trace width and spacing.

Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to methods and apparatus to achieve substantially uniform package thickness after forming a buildup layer on a package substrate of an integrated circuit. Some embodiments include applying a resin to the buildup layer to form a resin layer on top of at least a portion of the buildup layer and substantially evening out the surface formed by the resin layer. Some embodiments include vibrating a hot press onto the top surface of the buildup layer and vibrating the hot press in an ultrasonic and/or a scrubbing motion. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE), and methods for paging are disclosed herein. The eNB may transmit a paging message that may include paging identifiers to indicate an intention of the eNB to send downlink data to the first group of UEs. The paging message may further include a bitmap of paging indicators to indicate whether the eNB intends to send downlink data to a second group of UEs. The paging message may include the bitmap when a length of the bitmap is less than a combined length of paging identifiers for a paging portion of second group of UEs to which the eNB intends to send downlink data.
