Multi-chip programmable logic device having configurable logic circuitry and configuration data storage on different dice

The circuitry of a programmable logic device (for example, an FPGA) includes a configurable logic portion and a configuration memory. The configuration memory stores configuration data that configures the configurable logic portion to realize a user-defined circuit. The configurable logic portion is disposed on a first die whereas the configuration memory is disposed on a second die. The second die is bonded to the first die in stacked relation. Each bit of configuration data passes from the second die to the first die through a pair of micropads. One micropad of the pair is disposed on the first die and the other micropad of the pair is disposed on the second die. When the first die and second die are brought together in face-to-face relation, the two micropads form an electrical connection through which the configuration data bit passes from the second die to the first die.

Substrate and collector grid structures for integrated series connected photovoltaic arrays and process of manufacture of such arrays

This invention comprises deposition of thin film photovoltaic junctions on metal substrates which can be heat treated following deposition in a continuous fashion without deterioration of the metal support structure. In a separate operation an interconnection substrate structure is produced in a continuous roll-to-roll fashion. In this way the interconnection substrate structure can be uniquely formulated from polymer-based materials since it does not have to endure high temperature exposure. Cells comprising the metal foil supported photovoltaic junctions are then laminated to the interconnection substrate structure. Conductive interconnections are deposited to complete the array. The conductive interconnections can be accomplished with a separately prepared interconnection component. The interconnected array is produced using continuous roll-to-roll processing which avoids the need to use the expensive and intricate material removal operations currently taught in the art to achieve electrical interconnections among arrays of photovoltaic cells.

Method of manufacturing heat pipe having sintered powder wick

A method is disclosed to produce a heat pipe with a sintered powder wick formed inside the heat pipe. The method employs tape-casting technology to firstly produce thin sheets of powder and then these sheets are sintered to form the wick. In the tape casting procedure, a slurry of the powders necessary to construct said wick is cast onto a moving surface to form a slurry layer and then the slurry layer is dried to form a green tape. The green tape is rolled onto a mandrel and then is inserted into a hollow casing and sintered to cause the powders in the green tape to diffusion-bond together. Thus, the sintered powder wick is constructed.
