摘要:
Techniques for evaluating the accuracy of a predicted effectiveness of an improvement to an infrastructure include collecting data, representative of at least one pre-defined metric, from the infrastructure during first and second time periods corresponding to before and after a change has been implemented, respectively. A machine learning system can receive compiled data representative of the first time period and generate corresponding machine learning data. A machine learning results evaluator can empirically analyze the generated machine learning data. An implementer can implement the change to the infrastructure based at least in part on the data from a machine learning data outputer. A system performance improvement evaluator can compare the compiled data representative of the first time period to that of the second time period to determine a difference, if any, and compare the difference, if any, to a prediction based on the generated machine learning data.

A direct write and laser delete system for making engineering changes in which top surface metal C4 pads each has a small satellite pad connected to it by a short connecting line that is deleted if an engineering change is to be made. Vias connect the satellite pads to a "personality" wiring layer in the module. A top surface grid of line segments allows any C4 pad to be connected to a point outside the chip boundary by means of one or more short direct write lines. There is one global X and Y engineering change grid on respective X and Y thin-film layers and another global X and Y engineering change grid on respective X and Y multi-layer ceramic module layers. All of these varied patterns are connected to lines with each chip pitch boundary where direct write connections can be made, and a grid line can be interrupted by a laser deletion of a top surface metal line.

A signal transmission line terminator for an off-chip driver circuit is disclosed in which each capacitor and resistor comprising each terminator are formed on the same chip separate from the driver circuit chip. The close proximity of the elements of the terminator reduce the path lengths therebetween to a minimum. The structure substantially eliminates the corresponding inductive reactance and concommitant .DELTA.I noise at high switching rates employed in high performance computers.

A variable frequency digital ring oscillator which can be formed in a small area for use in testing of chips employs a ring oscillator formed of CMOS inverters, transmission gates and capacitors and CMOS logic as a voltage controlled ring oscillator. A wide range of frequency of oscillation is achieved with small number of components. The ring oscillator circuit's oscillator frequency is controlled only by DC voltages, such as may be provided by (but not limited to) a manufacturing chip tester. The output signal of the oscillator swings between Vdd and Vss and does not need additional level translation circuits to drive CMOS logic. The ring oscillator can be composed of an odd number of CMOS inverters connected in cascade to form a loop. We provide a CMOS transmission gate with PMOS and NMOS transistor device inserted between each adjacent inverter and a MOS capacitor connected between the output of each transmission gate and the Vss supply of the ring oscillator circuit (conventionally ground). The gate voltages of the PMOS and NMOS transistors in the transmission gate are different and provide a different DC voltage between Vdd and Vss. Variation of the gate voltages of the transmission gates controls the frequency of oscillation of the circuit. The use of a plurality of cascaded delay elements between inverters achieves a wider range of oscillation frequency than possible with a single delay element.

A thermal display comprising an array of semiconductor heater mesas having a larger cross-sectional area at the display surface than at the support surface. The preferred structure is in the shape of a truncated, inverted pyramid. The novel method includes forming the inverted heater elements by etching trenches in one surface of the semiconductor substrate and forming the heater mesas at the opposite surface, with the trenches defining the individual mesas.

A packaging substrate (10) is populated with memory chip cube(s) (40) and horizontally mounted interconnect chip(s) (19)mounted on the substrate which are joined during assembly using two kinds of lead tin solder alloys to form the memory chip cube. One is a high melting point lead tin alloy (HMA), another is a lower melting point lead tin alloy (LMA). The memory chip pairs (11) of the memory cube are formed by placing functional memory chips over other functional memory chips before they were diced. The chip pads of the individual memory chips and the lead tin pads of the memory chips within the wafer are aligned and the high melting point lead tin solder is reflowed, forming memory chip pairs.
摘要:
A electronics system and method are provided which allow engineering changes to be made to a substrate without requiring the addition of fly wires and without requiring relatively large areas of pads for attaching these wires. Each device site is surrounded by a series of engineering change ring patterns. A series of engineering change patterns allow change interconnections between device sites to be made. Fan-in metallizations extend inwardly to the device sites from these change patterns, with a series of vias making surface connections adjacent to the ring patterns. Fan-out metallizations extend from the device site pads to the ring patterns, with a series of vias making surface connections adjacent to the ring patterns. Engineering changes are made by directly writing surface metal deposits to make the appropriate connections between the vias and the ring pattern. The original chip pad connections and the new ring pattern connections can be appropriately isolated by laser deletions, if necessary.

A packaging substrate (10) is populated with memory chip cube(s) (40) and horizontally mounted interconnect chip(s) (19) mounted on the substrate which are joined during assembly using two kinds of lead tin solder alloys to form memory chip cube. One is a high melting point lead tin alloy (HMA), the other is a lower melting point lead tin alloy (LMA). The memory chip pairs (11) of the memory cube are formed by placing functional memory chips over another functional memory chips before they were diced. The chip pads of the individual memory chips and the lead tin pads of the memory chips within the wafer are aligned and the high melting point lead tin solder is reflowed, forming memory chip pairs. The memory cube (42) is formed by joining the memory chip pairs together in a boat (30) with a silicon bar (41) maintaining spacing during manufacture. The memory chip cube (42) as well as the supporting chips are then placed and joined to the packaging substrate. The supporting silicon bar is removed from the memory chip cube (42) by re-heating the cube after it is joined to the packaging substrate. The package is completed by following with capping of the chip package of the paired memory chip cube with its attached packaging substrate by attaching to the base member substrate an appropriate heat sink after appropriate I/O flex lines are in place.
