We present techniques to detect all six degrees of positioning of one CMOS chip relative to another using capacitance measurements. Unlike other capacitive sensing schemes, these solutions achieve sub-femofarad resolution by directly measuring coupling capacitance and rejecting parasitic capacitances.We apply these techniques to dynamically monitor the 6D alignment of chips in multi-chip packages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
