US Patent:

56616570, Aug 26, 1997

Filed:

Feb 8, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/385318

Inventors:

Stanley Robert Jordan - Boca Raton FL
Howard Herbert Nick - Lagrangeville NY
Brock Estel Osborn - Hyde Park NY
Chang-Yu Wu - Wappingers Falls NY

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H01T 1900

US Classification:

364481

Abstract:

A system having a computer, test control logic, an electrostatic discharge unit and a high voltage probe unit is provided for performing multiple, random, asynchronous electrostatic discharge testing of machines. The test control logic includes multiple, asynchronous, random, firing logic for controlling the states of a plurality of output lines which send control signals from the computer to the electrostatic discharge unit and the high voltage probe unit. The test control logic allows a user a preference of testing modes through an interactive input graph. The user may specify either a run time experiment or a specific probability of test coverage test.

Ralph Trollinger - Pompano Beach FL

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

F27B 506
F27D 500
H05B 322

US Classification:

219393

Abstract:

An apparatus for producing laminated integrated circuit cubes includes a hermetically sealable oven chamber. At least one conductive heating device is used to heat the cube to a cure temperature. A vacuum source is connected to the oven chamber to remove gas from between the integrated circuit layers prior to curing. A press device applies pressure to the cube while it is heated under vacuum. A cooling gas is circulated through the oven chamber after curing. A cooling fluid can also be circulated through cooling channels in at least one wall of the oven chamber to cool the chamber.

Appl. No.:

8/672398

Stanley Robert Jordan - Boca Raton FL
Gary Leon Stewart - Lake Worth FL
Ralph Trollinger - Pompano Beach FL

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

B32B 3100

US Classification:

156 64

Abstract:

A method for producing laminated integrated circuit cubes includes applying conductive heat to the cube using at least one conductive heating device. A vacuum is created around the cube to remove air and other gases from between the integrated circuit layers prior to curing. A force is applied to the cube while it is heated under vacuum. A cooling gas is then circulated over the cube. Temperature and force sensing can be performed, and the process can be controlled by programmable logic controllers and the like.

Appl. No.:

8/654956

Inventors:

Stanley Robert Jordan - Boca Raton FL
Gary Leon Stewart - Lake Worth FL
Ralph Trollinger - Pompano Beach FL

Assignee:

IBM Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

B30B 1534

US Classification:

156358

Abstract:

An oven for making laminated integrated circuit cubes includes an oven chamber with at least one access opening. A closure member for the access opening is capable of hermetically sealing the chamber. A hermetic connection is provided for supplying power to within the chamber. Structure permits the withdrawal of air and other gases from within the chamber. Hermetic structure permits the application of a press force to a workpiece within the chamber from an actuator outside the chamber. Hermetic temperature sensing devices measure the temperature of a workpiece within the chamber.

Assignee:

IBM Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

B30B 900
B30B 1500

US Classification:

100 90

Abstract:

An apparatus for applying a force to laminated integrated circuit cubes in an oven chamber includes a force-applying member, an actuator for the force-applying member, and sealing structure for sealing the force-applying member to an opening permitting access by said force-applying member into the oven chamber. The sealing structure has a flexible sleeve, and the force-applying member passes through the sleeve. A first end of the sleeve is hermetically sealed to the force-applying member, and a second end of the sleeve can be hermetically sealed about the opening. The force applying member can move within the opening and the flexible sleeve will flex with this movement.
