Abstract:
A parking system is described. The system includes a parking tower. The parking tower includes at least two levels and a vertical passageway. A vehicle gripping system is provided. The vehicle gripping system includes a 5 vertical lift frame vertically movable in the passageway. The vehicle gripping system also includes a horizontal slide frame slidably coupled to the vertical lift frame and horizontally movable relative to the vertical lift frame and across each level. A sliding wheel gripper is slidably coupled to and extending downwards from the horizontal slide frame, for releasably gripping a vehicle 10 by gripping the wheels of the vehicle. The sliding wheel gripper is longitudinally slidable along the horizontal slide frame between a release position and a gripping position.

An electronic component package that includes a package substrate having an aluminum bond pad formed from an aluminum clad copper structure. The aluminum clad copper structure is attached to a dielectric layer. An electronic component is attached to the substrate and includes a conductive structure electrically coupled to the aluminum bond pad. The aluminum bond pad, the electronic component, and at least a portion of the substrate are encapsulated with an encapsulant.
Abstract:
Methods of forming gold-aluminum electrical interconnects are described. The method may include interposing a diffusion retardant layer between the gold and the aluminum, the diffusion retardant layer including regions containing and regions substantially devoid of a diffusion retardant material; bringing into contact the diffusion retardant layer, the gold, and the aluminum; forming alloys of gold and the diffusion retardant material in regions containing the material and forming gold-aluminum intermetallic compounds in regions substantially devoid of the material; and forming a continuous electrically conducting path between the aluminum and the gold. A structure for gold-aluminum interconnect is provided. The structure may include an aluminum alloy bond pad and a diffusion retardant layer in contact with the bond pad, the diffusion retardant layer including regions containing and regions substantially devoid of a diffusion retardant material. The structure may include a gold free air ball in contact with the diffusion retardant layer.
Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a first ball bond on a first contact pad, in which the first ball bond has a first wire segment of a bonding wire extending from the ball bond; forming a mid-span ball in the first wire segment at a first distance from the ball bond; and after the forming the mid-span ball, attaching the mid-span ball to a second contact pad to form a second ball bond.
Abstract:
An electronic component package includes a substrate and dielectric structure. The dielectric structure includes a top surface having a protrusion portion and a lower portion. The protrusion portion is located at first height that is greater than a second height of the lower portion. A conductive bond pad is located over the dielectric structure. A ball bond electrically couples the bond pad and a bond wire. An intermetallic compound located between the ball bond and bond pad is formed of material of the ball bond and bond pad and electrically couples the bond pad to the ball bond. A portion of the bond pad is vertically located between a portion of the lower portion of the top surface of the dielectric structure and the intermetallic compound. No portion of the bond pad is vertically located between at least a portion of the protrusion portion and the intermetallic compound.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes an integrated circuit die on a substrate. A first subset of wire bonds is between the substrate and the die. A second subset of wire bonds is between the substrate and the die. A dielectric material coats the first subset of the wire bonds along a majority of length of the first subset of the wire bonds. A medium is in contact with the second subset of the wire bonds along a majority of length of the second subset of the wire bonds.
Abstract:
A system for delivering pulses of a desired mass of gas to a tool, comprising: a mass flow controller including flow sensor, a control valve and a dedicated controller configured and arranged to receive a recipe of a sequence of steps for opening and closing the control valve so as to deliver as sequence of gas pulses as a function of the recipe. The mass flow controller is configured and arranged so as to operate in either one of at least two modes: as a traditional mass flow controller (MFC) mode or in a pulse gas delivery (PGD) mode. Further, the mass flow controller includes an input configured to receive an input signal; an output configured to provide an output signal; a communication port configured to receive program instructions; memory configured and arranged to receive programming data determining the programmed configuration of the mass flow controller as either a digital or analog configuration; and a processor/controller for operating the mass flow controller in accordance with the programmed configuration.
