摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for disposing a polymer film on an irregularly-shaped substrate at relatively high temperatures. In particular, the method and apparatus of the present invention provide a system for the packaging of very large scale intergrated circuit chips. The system of the present invention particularly solves problems associated with high temperature processing and problems associated with the highly irregular surfaces that result. Nonetheless, the resultant product is capable of being fashioned into circuit chip systems which are independently testable and which may be reconfigured after testing by removal of the polymer film itself.

A package for interconnecting a plurality of integrated circuit chips into a functional unit comprising a multilayer substrate having ground and power conducting layers and a frame for holding the chips with their terminal pads on the side of the frame opposite the substrate. Power and ground terminal pads on the chips are coupled to the appropriate potentials via registering conductive feedthroughs passing through the frame and into the substrate into contact with appropriate power or conductive layers in the substrate. Signal pads on the chips are interconnected by means of a conductive layer which is located over the chips on the side of the frame opposite the substrate.

A simplified method of gaining access to, for the purpose of replacing, a defective integrated circuit chip situated in a high density interconnect (HDI) circuit (10) comprises heating the HDI circuit to a temperature at which the peel strength of an adhesive (16) bonding a polymer overlay layer (18) to the tops of integrated circuit chips (4, 6, and 8) positioned on a substrate (12) is reduced. The polymer overlay layer, which may comprise one or multiple layers, is then peeled from the chips. The adhesive is present in sufficient quantity to protect the chips. The adhesive is then dissolved by subjecting the substrate to different solvents of successively lower solubility for the adhesive. Metal divots (34) left on chip pads (36) are removed by selectively etching copper in the presence of ultrasonic agitation. The entire circuit is finally subjected to a high pressure spray to remove any particulate remaining on the chips, so that the defective chip may be readily replaced without damaging or contaminating the HDI circuit.

An adaptive method and system are disclosed for providing high density interconnections of very large scale integrated circuits on a substrate. The procedure is performed in four basic steps: first an artwork representation for the interconnections of the integrated circuits is generated. This artwork representation is stored in a computer data base and assumes the integrated circuits to be at predetermined ideal locations and positions on the substrate. Second, using imaging, the actual positions of each integrated circuit on the substrate are determined. The actual positions of the integrated circuits are compared with their ideal positions to compute an offset and rotation for each integrated circuit on the substrate. Third, the computed offsets and rotations are then used to modify the artwork representation stored in the data base to account for the actual locations and positions of the integrated circuits on the substrate. Finally, the modified artwork representation is used to drive a direct writing laser lithography system that actually forms the high density interconnections of the integrated circuits on the substrate. The artwork representations are stored in computer data bases in vector form to minimize storage requirements. The laser beam produced by the lithography system is raster scanned on the substrate. Modulation of the laser beam is controlled by the real time conversion of the vector representation of the modified artwork to be a bit mapped representation. To assure accurate formations of the interconnects, a feedback alignment system is used to accurately position the laser beam throughout its raster scan.

A frame synchronizer having broad applicability in television systems is particularly adapted for use in a chrominance time-compressed, luminance bandwidth reduced television system. The frame synchronizer, which separates the composite video signal into its component parts and thereby minimizes the dynamic range required to digitize the signal, demodulates the chrominance signal into its quadrature components and separates the luminance signal. The synchronization signal in the composite video signal generates slave distribution signals and slave horizontal and vertical addresses. The separated chrominance quadrature components and the luminance signal are digitized and, along with the slave distribution signals and the slave horizontal and vertical addresses, are temporarily stored in first-in, first-out memories which provide independent buffering and thereby accommodate a high degree of mismatch between master and slave timing. The chrominance and luminance data are accumulated in distribution registers and transferred to write registers which provide the data input to a frame buffer memory. Master distribution and master horizontal and vertical addresses are generated from a master synchronization signal along with write and read control signals. The data in the write register is read into the frame buffer memory at the slave horizontal and vertical addresses in response to the write control signal, and data in the frame buffer memory is read out from the master horizontal and vertical addresses in response to the read control signal, converted to analog signals, and combined to form a composite signal.

A method and apparatus for bandwidth compression allows two television programs to simultaneously occupy the bandwidth normally allowed for one television program. The composite video signals from first and second program sources are separated into chrominance, luminance and synchronization component signals for each. The chrominance signals for each program source are compressed in time, and the sync pulse from one of the program sources is used to generate a narrow sync pulse. The luminance signal from the one program source modulates a carrier signal, and the luminance signal from the other program source modulates a subcarrier signal. The compressed chrominance signals for the first and second program sources are transmitted, with the narrow sync pulse, for alternate lines of each image frame for each program, respectively, during the inactive video time, and the luminance signals for both program sources are transmitted during the active video time for each line of each image frame for each program, respectively. At the receiver, the compressed chrominance and the luminance signals for both program sources are detected, and the compressed chrominance and the luminance signals for one or the other of the two program sources are selected. The selected chrominance signal is stored during the inactive video time in an analog delay line, the output of which is combined with the selected luminance signal to reconstruct a composite video signal for the selected program source during the active video time in the selected program.
摘要:
An electrical resistor family based on oxides of tungsten and/or molybdenum is prepared by combining a polymeric binder with such oxides in an appropriate amount to realize the desired bulk properties. The resistance of the composite can be varied by varying the metal content of the oxides and/or by appropriate combination of the various oxides. Inert fillers are not required and the bulk properties are more stable.

An electrical conductor interconnect is disclosed which permits hard-to-contact substrates, such as the glass substrate in liquid crystal display cells, to be connected to electrical apparatus by conventional soldering techniques. The interconnect conductor involves the use of a polymer loaded with both a conducting powder and a non-noble metal powder whose top surface is coated with a contiguous layer of an adherent solderable metal by an augmentation replacement reaction.

摘要:
Meat or poultry is cooked automatically in a thermal oven to a desired degree of doneness by a chosen time. The temperature of the meat or poultry is monitored, and linear extrapolations are made therefrom. These extrapolations are compared to the course the cooking should follow, and the oven temperature is automatically varied to correct deviations from the ideal course.
