Differential contrast plating for advanced packaging applications
A method of electroplating a metal into features, having substantially different depths, of a partially fabricated electronic device on a substrate is provided. The method includes adsorbing accelerator into the bottom of recessed features; partially filling the features by a bottom up fill mechanism in an electroplating solution; diffusing leveler into shallow features to decrease the plating rate in shallow features as compared to deep features; and electroplating more metal into the features such that the height of metal in deep features is similar to the height of metal in shallow features.
Heterogeneous integration for memristor-based hardware accelerators
Examples of the present technology provide heterogeneous (i.e., multi-chip) ASIC-memristor integrations that enable high voltage-dependent precision memristor programming while preserving optimal ASIC performance/capabilities. Examples achieve these advantages by de-coupling memristor hardware from ASIC chip. Accordingly, a heterogeneous ASIC-memristor integration of the present technology may comprise an ASIC chip packaged onto a functional memristor-interposer chip. The memristor interposer may serve both a functional and structural purpose. Namely, memristors of the memristor interposer can be leveraged in conjunction with the ASIC for processing/computation functionswhile connections within the memristor interposer route signals between ASIC and computing system (e.g., between the ASIC and a printed circuit board).
