Direct application voltage variable material, devices employing same and methods of manufacturing such devices

A voltage variable material (“VVM”) including an insulative binder that is formulated to intrinsically adhere to conductive and non-conductive surfaces is provided. The binder and thus the VVM is self-curable and applicable in a spreadable form that dries before use. The binder eliminates the need to place the VVM in a separate device or to provide separate printed circuit board pads on which to electrically connect the VVM. The binder and thus the VVM can be directly applied to many different types of substrates, such as a rigid FR-4 laminate, a polyimide, a polymer or a multilayer PCB via a process such as screen or stencil printing. In one embodiment, the VVM includes two types of conductive particles, one with a core and one without a core. The VVM can also have core-shell type semiconductive particles.

System and methods for data-driven control of manufacturing processes

Systems and methods for implementing hybrid, closed-loop control that generates control values for processes defined by a limited number of function evaluations and large amounts of process and measurement noise. The described control system is applied to a stencil printing process for applying solder paste to an electronic medium such as a printed circuit board or semiconductor wafer. The control system is defined by a hybrid approach. A first, coarse algorithm is used to rapidly produce the value of a stencil printer control value resulting in a solder paste deposit having a volume within predetermined acceptable limits. After the coarse algorithm no longer produces solder paste deposits closer to a desired volume, a second, more refined estimator is used to fine tune the process. An additional transitional algorithm may be added between the coarse algorithm and refined estimator. The coarse algorithm may be implemented with a constrained-conjugated gradient search, and the refined search may be a implemented using a least-squares affine estimator or a quadratic estimator. The transitional algorithm may be implemented using a block version of a least-squares affine estimator.

Method for preparing front electrodes of solar cells

The invention relates to a method for preparing front electrodes of solar cells, which comprises the following steps: firstly preparing discontinuous dot electrodes; and then connecting the dot electrodes by electroplating technology to realize that the electrodes collect and transport current but dielectric films still exist between the dot electrodes to have the function of passivation. The discontinuous dot electrodes are prepared by photoetching, evaporation and dissection methods, or firstly printed by silkprint, stencil printing or ink jet printing and then prepared by a sintering method. The electroplating is photoinductive electroplating or chemical plating. The dot electrodes effectively reduce surface recombination; and the adopted electroplating technology not only simply and accurately realizes the connection of the dot electrodes, but also effectively reduces the width of grid lines, namely reduces electrode shading areas and further reduces the surface recombination so as to contribute to improving battery efficiency.

Wafer scale packaging scheme

A process and a package for achieving wafer scale packaging is described. A layer of a polymeric material, such as polyimide, silicone elastomer, or benzocyclobutene is deposited on the surface of a chip. Via holes through this layer connect to the top surfaces of the studs that pass through the passivating layer of the chip. In one embodiment, the polymeric layer covers a redistribution network on a previously planarized surface of the chip. Individual chip-level networks are connected together in the kerf so that conductive posts may be formed inside the via holes through electroplating. After the formation of solder bumps, the wafer is diced into individual chips thereby isolating the individual redistribution networks. In a second embodiment, no redistribution network is present so electroless plating is used to form the posts. In a third embodiment, there is also no redistribution network but electroplating is made possible by using a contacting layer. Solder bumps attached to the posts are then formed by means of electroless plating, screen or stencil printing.
