20110006409 | NICKEL-TITANUM CONTACT LAYERS IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - Semiconductor devices containing nickel-titanium (NiTi or TiNi) compounds (or alloys) and methods for making such devices are described. The devices contain a silicon substrate with an integrated circuit having a drain on the backside of the substrate, a TiNi contact layer contacting the drain on the backside of the substrate, a soldering layer on the contact layer, an oxidation reducing layer on the soldering layer, a solder bump on the soldering layer, and a lead frame attached to the solder bump. The combination of the Ti and Ni materials in the contact layer exhibits many features not found in the Ti and Ni materials alone, such as reduced backside on-resistance, ability to form a silicide with the Si substrate at lower temperatures, reduced wafer warpage, increased ductility for improved elasticity, and good adhesion properties. Other embodiments are described. | 01-13-2011 |
20110031596 | NICKEL-TITANUM SOLDERING LAYERS IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - Semiconductor devices containing nickel-titanium (NiTi or TiNi) compounds or alloys and methods for making such devices are described. The devices contain a silicon substrate with an integrated circuit, a contact layer contacting the substrate, a TiNi-containing soldering layer on the contact layer, an oxidation prevention layer on the soldering layer, a solder bump on the soldering layer, and a lead frame or PCB attached to the solder bump. The combination of the Ti and Ni materials in the soldering layer exhibits many features not found in the Ti and Ni materials alone, such as reduced wafer warpage, increased ductility for improved elasticity, decreased consumption of the Ni in the soldering layer, and decreased manufacturing costs. Other embodiments are described. | 02-10-2011 |

20100057205 | Universal Spinal Disc Implant System - A revisable intervertebral implant may include two end plates designed to detachably receive a variety of intermediate components including articulating bearing inserts, elastic inserts, and fusion blocks. Each intermediate component may be secured to a snap insert that snaps into engagement with the corresponding end plate in response to pressure urging the intermediate component toward the end plate along a cephalad-caudal direction. The end plates may first be secured to the corresponding vertebral bodies, and then the intermediate component(s) may be snapped into locking engagement with the implanted end plates to complete in-situ assembly of the intervertebral implant. The implant may easily be revised by snapping the intermediate component(s) out of engagement with the end plates, removing the intermediate component(s), inserting the new intermediate component(s) into the space between the end plates, and snapping the new intermediate component(s) into engagement with the end plates. | 03-04-2010 |
