Abstract
An apparatus and method for electrically connecting semi-conductor devices is disclosed. The apparatus and method employs a vacuum chamber and first and second semi-conductor components. The first and second semi-conductor components are coupled to a vacuum chamber and free space electron transmitters and receivers. The transmitters are configured to transmit a signals between the semi-conductor components.
Claims31
An electronic component comprising:
- first and second substrates;
- a first member disposed between said first and a second substrates, said first member defining a vacuum chamber;
- a first semi-conductor component coupled to the first substrate, said first semi-conductor component in connection with a first free space electron transmitter and a first free space electronic receiver disposed within said vacuum chamber;
- a second semi-conductor component coupled to the second substrate, said second semi-conductor component in connection with a second free space electron transmitter and a second free space electronic receiver disposed within said vacuum chamber;
- wherein said first transmitter is configured to transmit a signal from said first semi-conductor component to the second free space electron receiver and wherein said second transmitter is configured to transmit a signal from said second semi-conductor component to the first free space electronic receiver.
