Michael J. Costello - Phoenix AZ
Mun Leong Loke - Chandler AZ
Ravi V. Mahajan - Tempte AZ
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 2100
US Classification:
361760, 361764, 361820, 257778, 257737, 257738, 29841, 438 63, 438 64

An underfill material is dispensed between the substrate and the integrated circuit.

Electronic Assembly Comprising Solderable Thermal Interface

View page
US Patent:
6724078, Apr 20, 2004
Filed:
Aug 31, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/652430
Inventors:
Biswajit Sur - San Jose CA
Nagesh Vodrahalli - Phoenix AZ
Thomas Workman - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 2312
US Classification:
257704, 257706, 257707, 257720, 257675, 257779, 257783, 438122, 438125, 438612, 438118
Abstract:
To accommodate high power densities associated with high performance integrated circuits, heat is dissipated from a surface of a die through a solderable thermal interface to a lid or integrated heat spreader. In one embodiment, the die is mounted on an organic substrate using a C4 and land grid array arrangement. In order to maximize thermal dissipation from the die while minimizing warpage of the package when subjected to heat, due to the difference in thermal coefficients of expansion between the die and the organic substrate, a thermal interface is used that has a relatively low melting point in addition to a relatively high thermal conductivity. Methods of fabrication, as well as application of the package to an electronic assembly, an electronic system, and a data processing system, are also described.

Jaiom S. Sambyal - Cupertino CA, US
Biswajit Sur - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G02B006/36
G02B006/00
US Classification:
385 53, 385 89, 385134
Abstract:

Crystal-Core Fiber Mode Converter For Low-Loss Polarization-Insensitive Planar Lightwave Circuits

View page
US Patent:
6879743, Apr 12, 2005
Filed:
Dec 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/028570
Inventors:
Achintya K. Bhowmik - San Jose CA, US
Nagesh K. Vodrahalli - Cupertino CA, US
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G02B006/12
US Classification:
385 14, 385 11, 385 34, 385 49, 385122, 385129, 385130, 385131, 385132
Abstract:
A planar lightwave circuit comprises a first portion of a waveguide, a second portion of a waveguide, and a segment of crystal core fiber coupling the first portion to the second portion of the waveguide. The crystal core fiber helps to reduce the polarization sensitivity of the waveguide. In one embodiment, multiple crystal core fibers are used in a planar lightwave circuit having multiple waveguides, such as an array waveguide grating.

Ultra-Thin Polarization Mode Converters Based On Liquid Crystal Materials

Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G02B006/00
US Classification:
385 11, 349194
Abstract:
A method and apparatus that includes a first waveguide segment that differentially changes the amplitude of the light relative to a first polarization orientation, a thickness of oriented liquid crystal or other birefringent material sufficient to delay one polarization component one-half wavelength relative to another, and a second waveguide segment that also differentially changes the amplitude of the light based on the polarization orientation. Also, an apparatus that includes a thin polarization converter that includes a thin first substrate that is substantially transparent to a wavelength of light, and a birefringent material deposited on one or more surfaces of the first substrate and oriented such that the polarization converter forms a half-wavelength birefringent plate for the light. Also, an apparatus having a first substrate surface, a second substrate surface, and a liquid crystal material between the first and second substrate surfaces to form a polarization converter.
