Abstract:
A multi-chip package includes a substrate (110) having a first side (111), an opposing second side (112), and a third side (213) that extends from the first side to the second side, a first die (120) attached to the first side of the substrate and a second die (130) attached to the first side of the substrate, and a bridge (140) adjacent to the third side of the substrate and attached to the first die and to the second die. No portion of the substrate is underneath the bridge. The bridge creates a connection between the first die and the second die. Alternatively, the bridge may be disposed in a cavity (615, 915) in the substrate or between the substrate and a die layer (750). The bridge may constitute an active die and may be attached to the substrate using wirebonds (241, 841, 1141, 1541).

Some forms relate to a method of making a stretchable computing system. The method includes attaching a first set of conductive traces to a stretchable member; attaching a first electronic component to the first set of conductive traces; adding a first set of flexible conductors to the stretchable member such that the first set of flexible conductors is electrically connected to the first set of conductive traces; adding stretchable material to the stretchable member such that the first set of conductive traces is surrounded by the stretchable member; forming an opening in the stretchable member that exposes the first set of conductive traces; and attaching a second set of conductive traces to the stretchable member such that the second set of conductive traces fills the opening to form a via in the stretchable member that electrically connects the first set of conductive traces with the second set of conductive traces.
Abstract:
An interconnect structure for electrically joining two surfaces includes magnetic attachment structures and an anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACA). Magnetic attachment structures on a first surface are magnetically attracted to magnetic attachment structures on a second surface. Opposing magnetic attachment structures are joined via an ACA, which conducts electricity when compressed, and is electrically insulating when not compressed. The magnetic attraction between opposing magnetic attachment structures generates a sufficient force to maintain compression of the intervening ACA in order to sustain a desired level of electrical conductivity between the first surface and second surface. A method for joining two surfaces using the interconnect structure is disclosed. Additionally, a magnetic anisotropic conductive adhesive having magnetic conductive particles dispersed therein is disclosed.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing tactile feedback in a user interface. The system includes a tactile feedback assembly configured to communicate with a user interface of an electronic device. The tactile feedback assembly is configured to provide mechanical and/or nerve stimulation to a user during user interaction (e.g. navigation, input of data, etc.) of the user interface. The mechanical and/or nerve stimulation is configured to provide a user with tactile sensation (in the form of the sense of touch) in response to user interaction with the user interface, including, but not limited to, sense of texture and sense of pressure.
