Some variations provide a method of making water-dispersed hexaferrite nanoparticles, comprising: providing a first salt containing iron, a second salt containing barium and/or strontium, and a third salt containing an anion or cation that is capable of forming a ligand with the hexaferrite nanoparticles; combining the first salt, second salt, third salt, and water to form a reaction mixture; subjecting the reaction mixture to effective reaction conditions to produce hexaferrite nanoparticles with the anion or cation in the third salt forming a ligand on the surface, so that the hexaferrite nanoparticles are dissolved and/or suspended in the reaction mixture; and obtaining water-dispersed hexaferrite nanoparticles with an average zeta potential of at least ±20 mV. The water-dispersed hexaferrite nanoparticles have a hexaferrite content of at least 85 wt %. The method may further include assembling water-dispersed hexaferrite nanoparticles into a magnetic component, such as a self-biased hexaferrite film on a semiconductor substrate.
摘要:
A recursive metal-embedded chip assembly (R-MECA) process and method is described for heterogeneous integration of multiple die from diverse device technologies. The recursive aspect of this integration technology enables integration of increasingly-complex subsystems while bridging different scales for devices, interconnects and components. Additionally, the proposed concepts include high thermal management performance that is maintained through the multiple recursive levels of R-MECA, which is a key requirement for high-performance heterogeneous integration of digital, analog mixed signal and RF subsystems. At the wafer-scale, chips from diverse technologies and different thicknesses are initially embedded in a metal heat spreader surrounded by a mesh wafer host. An embodiment uses metal embedding on the backside of the chips as a key differentiator for high-density integration, and built-in thermal management. After die embedding, wafer-level front side interconnects are fabricated to interconnect the various chips and with each other. The wafer is then diced into individual metal-embedded chip assembly (MECA) modules, and forms the level one for multi-scale R-MECA integration. These modules are subsequently integrated into another wafer or board using the same integration approach recursively. Additional components such as discrete passive resistors, capacitors and inductors can be integrated at the second level, once the high-resolution, high-density integration has been performed at level zero. This recursive integration offers a practical solution to build very large scale integrated systems and subsystems.

An interconnect for electrically coupling pads formed on adjacent chips or on packaging material adjacent the chips, with an electrically conductive heat sink being disposed between the pads, the interconnect comprising a metallic membrane layer disposed between two adjacent pads and disposed or bridging over the electrically conductive heat sink so as to avoid making electrical contact with the electrically conductive heat sink. An electroplated metallic layer is disposed on the metallic membrane layer. Fabrication of interconnect permits multiple interconnects to be formed in parallel using fabrication techniques compatible with wafer level fabrication of the interconnects. The interconnects preferably follow a smooth curve to electrically connect adjacent pads and following that smooth curve they bridge over the intervening electrically conductive heat sink material in a predictable fashion.
