摘要:
A switch is provided wherein a piezoelectric bimorph element is used to provide many separately controllable, closely spaced switchable contacts. The element includes at least two oppositely extending fingers connected by a common spine. The element spine is mounted to a case with the fingers spaced from an inner case surface. Electronic circuit means are mounted on the element spine for applying a separate electrical potential to each of the element fingers. A separate movable electrical contact is disposed on each of the element fingers spaced from the spine and insulated from the means for applying the separate electrical potentials to the fingers. A separate stationary contact is provided on an inner case surface opposite each of the movable contacts. In operation, a separate electrical potential is applied to each of the element fingers for selectively causing each finger to deflect and force its movable contact into electrical connection with the opposing stationary contact.

An integrated circuit in which a large potential can be maintained between the source of the device and the substrate on which this device and other devices are fabricated is described. The circuit employs a minority carrier sink region to remove minority carriers from the gate region of a MOS depletion device. The sink region is shielded from the substrate by a buried layer which prevents punch-through between the sink region and the substrate.

Circuit structures and methods of fabrication are provided for facilitating implementing a complete electronic system in a compact package. The circuit structure includes, in one embodiment, a chips-first multichip base layer with conductive structures extending therethrough. An interconnect layer is disposed over the front surface of the multichip layer and includes interconnect metallization electrically connected to contact pads of the chips and to conductive structures extending through the structural material. A redistribution layer, disposed over the back surface of the multichip layer, includes a redistribution metallization also electrically connected to conductive structures extending through the structural material. Input/output contacts are arrayed over the redistribution layer, including over the lower surfaces of at least some integrated circuit chips within the multichip layer, and are electrically connected through the redistribution metallization, conductive structures, and interconnect metallization to contact pads of the integrated circuit chips of the multichip layer.

Structures and methods are provided for electrically interconnecting and absorbing stress between a first electrical structure and a second electrical structure. In one embodiment, non-conductive compliant bumps are disposed on at least one of the structures and a metal layer is provided over a surface of the non-conductive compliant bumps. The metal layer facilitates electrical coupling of the metal on the surfaces of the compliant bumps with multiple contact pads of the structure supporting the bumps. The non-conductive compliant bumps can be fabricated of a low modulus material which has a high ultimate elongation property (LMHE dielectric). The LMHE dielectric can have a Young's modulus of less than 50,000 psi and an ultimate elongation property of at least twenty percent. In an alternate embodiment, at least one mushroom-shaped conductive bump is disposed above a compliant dielectric layer on one of the first electrical structure or the second electrical structure. The mushroom-shaped conductive bumps are employed to electrically interconnect the first and second electrical structures. The compliant dielectric layer can be a LMHE dielectric.

Methods of fabricating a circuit structure are provided. The fabrication method includes: forming a chip layer, which includes obtaining at least one chip and disposing a structural material around and physically contacting the side surface(s) of each chip in the chip layer. The structural material has an upper surface substantially coplanar with or parallel to an upper surface of each chip and defines at least a portion of a front surface of the chip layer, and has a lower surface substantially coplanar with or parallel to a lower surface of each chip, which defines at least portion of a back surface of the chip layer. The method further includes forming at least one strengthening structure over the back surface of the chip layer. The strengthening structure is formed to strengthen an interface between the chip(s) and the structural material.
