摘要:
A method of aligning electronic components comprising providing a positioning member 110 having at least one formation 120 for receiving an electronic component; said at least one formation having lateral boundaries 35, 36 for constraining movement of an electronic component; placing a first electronic component 10a in said at least one formation; and providing a force for actively aligning said first electronic component with a lateral boundary of said at least one formation. The force may, for example, be provided by tilting the positioning member, by providing suction or by using an actuator. An apparatus for aligning electronic components and a 3D system of stacked electronic components is also disclosed.

An adaptive bias method and circuits for amplifiers that provide a substantial current boost based at least partly upon a sensed input power of an amplifier circuit. Methods and circuits of the invention provide an additional bias current based upon the sensed input power. Circuits of the invention may be simple, area-efficient, low-power, stable and digitally-programmable. In addition, methods and circuits of the invention may be used with a number of amplifier circuit configurations, including amplifiers having either inductor and/or resistive degeneration.

System and method are disclosed for increasing the effectiveness of the lower tubes in a delayed coker furnace. The system and method involve arranging the tubes so that the lower tubes are as close to the heat source as the upper tubes. Such an arrangement allows all the tubes to have substantially the same amount of radiant flux. In some implementations, it is also possible to conform the refractory floor to the arrangement of the tubes.
摘要:
Although the duplexer in a full-duplex transceiver circuit may only be guaranteed by the duplexer manufacturer to have a transmit band rejection from its TX port to its RX port of a certain amount, and may only be guaranteed to have a receive band rejection of another amount, the actual transmit band rejection and the actual receive band rejection of a particular instance of the duplexer may be better than specified. Rather than consuming excess power in the receiver and/or transmitter in order to meet performance requirements assuming the duplexer only performs as well as specified, the duplexer's in-circuit performance is measured as part of a transmitter-to-receiver isolation determination. Transmitter and/or receiver power settings are reduced where possible to take advantage of the measured better-than-specified in-circuit duplexer performance, while still meeting transceiver performance requirements. Power settings are not changed during normal transmit and receive mode operation.

摘要:
The module comprises a first substrate and at least one chip mounted on the first substrate. A second substrate is mounted to the first substrate and has an opening therein. The opening is lined with the at least one chip. The second substrate is overmolded and the first substrate is electrically connected to the second substrate by at least one first electrical connector. At least one second electrical connector extends from the second substrate through the overmold and has its exposed ends for electrical connection to an external module. The external module may be mounted to the first module in order to form a package on package assembly.
摘要:
There is described a bonding method for through-silicon-via bonding of a wafer stack in which the wafers are formed with through-silicon-vias and lateral microchannels that are filled with solder. To fill the vias and channels the wafer stack is placed in a soldering chamber and molten solder is drawn through the vias and channels by vacuum. The wafers are held together by layers of adhesive during the assembly of the wafer stack. Means are provided for local reheating of the solder after it has cooled to soften the solder to enable it to be removed from the soldering chamber.
