A 74xx-defined Radio (acidbourbon.wordpress.com)
A shortwave radio receiver from scratch using only cheap and easily available components, i.e. standard transistors, op-amps and 74xx logic chips. No typical radio parts – no coils, no variable capacitors, no exotic diodes.
Advancing Cu-Cu Hybrid Bonding: Overcoming Challenges for the Future of Semiconductor Packaging | Microwave Journal (www.microwavejournal.com)
As solder bump pitches shrink, several issues arise. Reduced bump height and surface area for bonding make it increasingly difficult to establish reliable electrical connections, necessitating precise manufacturing processes to avoid errors. Critical co-planarity and surface roughness become paramount, as even minor...
