20100136746 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SET OF CHIPS MECHANICALLY INTERCONNECTED BY MEANS OF A FLEXIBLE CONNECTION - The method relates to production of a set of chips mechanically interconnected by means of a flexible connection. The chips, integrated on a substrate, each comprise a receiving area. The chips of the set are connected in series in the receiving areas by a connecting element. The chips are then released, the connecting element forming a flexible connection. | 06-03-2010 |
20100245182 | Assembly of Radiofrequency Chips - The invention relates to the fabrication of radiofrequency transmission/reception devices. The invention makes provision for: the making of radiofrequency transmission/reception chips devoid of antennas; the connecting in series of the chips by at least two conducting wire elements whose respective lengths between two neighboring chips are chosen as a function of the transmission/reception frequency, each element contacting electrically at least one terminal of a chip and ensuring an at least temporary function of mechanical holding of the chips chainwise; and the cutting at regular intervals of the serial connection to form, for each chip, two strands of an antenna of the device. | 09-30-2010 |
20110001237 | ASSEMBLY OF A WIRE ELEMENT WITH A MICROELECTRONIC CHIP WITH A GROOVE COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE BUMP SECURING THE WIRE ELEMENT - The assembly comprises at least one microelectronic chip having two parallel main surfaces and lateral surfaces, at least one of the lateral faces comprising a longitudinal groove housing a wire element having an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the groove. The groove is delineated by at least two side walls. The wire element is secured to the chip at the level of a clamping area between at least one bump arranged on one of the side walls, and the side wall of the groove opposite said bump. The clamping area has a smaller height than the diameter of the wire element and a free area is arranged laterally to the bump along the longitudinal axis of the groove. The free area has a height, corresponding to the distance separating the two side walls, that is greater than the diameter of the wire element. | 01-06-2011 |
20110149540 | METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING AT LEAST ONE CHIP WITH A WIRE ELEMENT, ELECTRONIC CHIP WITH A DEFORMABLE LINK ELEMENT, FABRICATION METHOD OF A PLURALITY OF CHIPS, AND ASSEMBLY OF AT LEAST ONE CHIP WITH A WIRE ELEMENT - A first step of the method for assembling a wire element with an electronic chip comprises arranging the wire element in a groove of the chip delineated by a first element and a second element, joined by a link element comprising a plastically deformable material, and a second step then comprises clamping the first and second elements to deform the link element until the wire element is secured in the groove. | 06-23-2011 |

20110287606 | METHOD FOR FABRICATING CHIP ELEMENTS PROVIDED WITH WIRE INSERTION GROOVES - The invention relates to a method for fabricating chip elements provided with a groove from devices formed on a wafer. The method comprises the steps consisting in, depositing a sacrificial film on the wafer so as to leave a central part of each device exposed and to cover an edge of the device at the level of which the groove is to be formed; applying a mold on the sacrificial film; injecting a hardenable material into the mold; hardening the hardenable material; dicing the wafer between the devices; and eliminating the sacrificial film. | 11-24-2011 |
20120073128 | APPARATUS FOR ASSEMBLING CHIP DEVICES ON WIRES - An apparatus for assembling chip devices on a wire, each chip device comprising two substantially parallel lateral walls, and a groove in one of the lateral walls for receiving said wire. The apparatus includes a pinching device having two opposing surfaces, the distance between the opposing surfaces being substantially constant and substantially equal to the distance between the two lateral walls of a chip device. A wire feeder is adapted to continuously feed the wire in contact with one of the opposing surfaces of the pinching device. A chip device feeder is adapted to drive chip devices, one at a time, between the opposing surfaces, with their grooves turned towards the wire. The pinching device may comprise two cylindrical rollers having rotation axes substantially perpendicular to the wire, the opposing surfaces being formed by respective surfaces of the rollers. | 03-29-2012 |
