Abstract
An integrated circuit may have a spatial light modulator formed on one side of a semiconductor support and a microprocessor formed on the opposite side. The microprocessor and the spatial light modulator may communicate with one another through electrical connections which extend completely through the semiconductor support. The microprocessor may be contacted using bump packaging techniques.
Claims8
A computer system comprising:
- a first integrated circuit including a memory;
- and
- a second integrated circuit coupled to the first integrated circuit, the second integrated circuit including a support of semiconductor material with opposed sides, said support including a spatial light modulator mounted on one side of said support and a microprocessor, mounted on the opposed side of said support, said microprocessor being coupled by an electrical conductor to said modulator through said support.
