    摘要: A processing technique facilitating the fabrication of the integrated circuit with microsprings at different vertical positions relative to a surface of a substrate is described. During the fabrication technique, microsprings are lithographically defined on surfaces of a first substrate and a second substrate. Then, a hole is created through a first substrate. Moreover, the integrated circuit may be created by rigidly mechanically coupling the two substrates to each other such that the microsprings on the surface of the second substrate are within a region defined at least in part by an edge around the hole. Subsequently, photoresist that constrains the microsprings on the surfaces of the two substrates may be removed. In this way, microsprings at the different vertical positions can be fabricated.

    摘要: In a proximity communication system, transmit elements on one chip are aligned with receive elements on a second chip juxtaposed with the first chip. However, if the elements are misaligned, either statically or dynamically, the coupling between chips is degraded. The misalignment may be compensated by controllably degrading performance of the system. For example, the transmit signal strength may be increased. The bit period or the time period for biasing each bit may be increased, thereby decreasing the bandwidth. Multiple coupling elements, such as capacitors, may be ganged together, thereby decreasing the number of channels. The granularity of symbols, such as images, may be increased by decreasing the number of bits per symbol. Multiple coupling elements, such as capacitors, may be ganged together, thereby decreasing the number of channels.

    摘要: Embodiments of a method for assembling a multi-chip module (MCM) are described. During this method, a fluid that includes coupling elements is applied to a surface of a base plate in the MCM. Then, at least some of the coupling elements are positioned into negative features on the surface of the base plate using fluidic assembly. Note that a given coupling element selects a given negative feature using chemical-based selection and/or geometry-based selection. Next, the fluid and excess coupling elements (which reside in regions outside of the negative features on the surface) are removed.
