摘要:
In one embodiment, a method of forming a multi-die semiconductor device is provided. A plurality of dice is mounted on a semiconductor substrate, and neighboring ones of the dice are separated by a distance at which a first one of the neighboring dice will contact a meniscus of a flange of the neighboring die during underfill to form a capillary bridge between the neighboring dice. Solder bumps are reflowed to electrically connect contact terminals of the plurality of dice to contact terminals on a top surface of the substrate. Underfill is deposited along one or more edges of one or more of the plurality of dice. As a result of the capillary bridge formed between neighboring dice, flow of underfill is induced between the bottom surfaces of the neighboring dice and the top surface of the substrate. The dispensed underfill is cured.

A PLD utilizes a heterogeneous architecture to reduce power consumption of its active resources. The PLD's programmable resources are divided into a first partition and a second partition, where the resources of the first partition are optimized for low power consumption and the resources of the second partition are optimized for high performance. Portions of a user design containing non-critical timing paths are mapped to and implemented by the resources of the power-optimized first partition, and portions of the user design containing critical timing paths are mapped to and implemented by the resources of the performance-optimized second partition.

Specific ionic interactions with a sensing material that is electrically coupled with the floating gate of a floating gate-based ion sensitive field effect transistor (FGISFET) may be used to sense a target material. For example, an FGISFET can use (e.g., previously demonstrated) ionic interaction-based sensing techniques with the floating gate of floating gate field effect transistors. The floating gate can serves as a probe and an interface to convert chemical and/or biological signals to electrical signals, which can be measured by monitoring the change in the device's threshold voltage, VT.

A multi-chip package that includes multiple integrated circuits is provided. An integrated circuit in the multi-chip package may be mounted on an interposer. The interposer may be mounted on a package substrate. The integrated circuit may have internal power supply terminals coupled to on-package decoupling (OPD) capacitor circuitry that are formed as part of the package substrate. The power supply terminals on the integrated circuit may be coupled to conductive routing paths and through-silicon vias (TSVs) in the interposer via microbumps. The through-silicon vias in the interposer may be coupled to the OPD capacitor circuitry via flip-chip bumps. The conductive routing paths and the TSVs in the interposer may be coupled to the internal integrated circuit power supply terminals in a way that minimizes power supply resonance noise.

摘要:
A method and apparatus to test the inter-die interface between two or more semiconductor die in die stacking applications, where a mismatch exists between the number of input and output pads on a base die and the number of input and output pads on a stacked die. In a first embodiment, a number of through-die vias (TDVs) may be used to implement inter-die signal paths using standard or flexible design rules to maintain statistical TDV yield despite the lack of continuity verification of the inter-die signals paths. In alternate embodiments, programmable multiplexers may be utilized to share one or more inter-die connections between the base die and the one or more stacked die so as to facilitate testing and normal operation of each inter-die connection. In other embodiments, spare TDVs are utilized only during test operations, so as to accommodate the mismatch. In yet other embodiments, built-in-test (BIT) circuits are configured to perform logic operations using a plurality of inter-die input/output (I/O) signals to eliminate the need to implement an identical number of input and output ports between the base die and the one or more stacked die to facilitate inter-die testing.
