Abstract:
A method of dispersing particles in a medium. The method includes providing a first particle/solvent dispersion comprising the particles and a first solvent, adding a second solvent to the first particle/solvent dispersion to form a second particle/solvent dispersion, wherein the first solvent and the second solvent are miscible, and extracting substantially all of the first solvent from the second particle/solvent dispersion to form a third particle/solvent dispersion.

Photonic components are placed on the processor package to bring the optical signal close to the processor die. The processor package includes a substrate to which the processor die is coupled, and which allows the processor die to connect to a printed circuit board. The processor package also includes transceiver logic, electrical-optical conversion circuits, and an optical coupler. The electrical-optical conversion circuits can include laser(s), modulator(s), and photodetector(s) to transmit and receive and optical signal. The coupler interfaces to a fiber that extends off the processor package. Multiple fibers can be brought to the processor package allowing for a scalable high-speed, high-bandwidth interconnection to the processor.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the field of fabricating microelectronic packages, wherein cavities are formed in a dielectric layer deposited on a first substrate to maintain separation between soldered interconnections. In one embodiment, the cavities may have sloped sidewalls. In another embodiment, a solder paste may be deposited in the cavities and upon heating solder structures may be formed. In other embodiments, the solder structures may be placed in the cavities or may be formed on a second substrate to which the first substrate may be connected. In still other embodiments, solder structures may be formed on both the first substrate and a second substrate. The solder structures may be used to form solder interconnects by contact and reflow with either contact lands or solder structures on a second substrate.
