A method of manufacturing a microelectronic device may include forming a wiring layer on a first surface of a wafer. The method may also include forming a modified layer along separation regions for each microelectronic device of the wafer by focusing a laser on an inside portion of the wafer. The method may also include removing material from the second surface of the wafer. The wafer may be cooled to a temperature where a low dielectric constant layer extending across the separation regions is brittle while the material is removed from the second surface of the wafer. The method may further include separating the wafer along the separation region to form separate microelectronic devices.

A three-dimensional model of a reconstructed bone framework is obtained using an iterative, surface interpolating algorithm. A reference and a target three-dimensional model are provided. The reference model is non-rigidly registered to the target model based upon positional constraints, so as to produce a registered reference model. An initial reconstructed model is set as the registered reference model. A first correspondence search is iteratively conducted to identify a first set of corresponding points on the reconstructed and target models. During each iteration, the reconstructed model is incrementally and non-rigidly registered to the target model based upon the corresponding points. A second correspondence search is conducted to identify a second set of corresponding points on the reconstructed and target models. Crossings in the identified corresponding points are removed and the reconstructed model is non-rigidly registered to the target model, based upon the remaining corresponding points so as to produce a registered, fully reconstructed model. The preferred embodiment is the reconstruction of a skull using Laplacian deformation method with flip-avoiding interpolating surface (FAIS) step.

Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device package may involve providing a fan out wafer including semiconductor-device-package locations at a base level. Laterally offset semiconductor dice may be stacked at least some semiconductor-device-package locations of the fan out wafer to expose bond pads at a lateral periphery of each of the laterally offset semiconductor dice. The laterally offset semiconductor dice may be electrically connected to one another and associated electrically conductive traces of the at least some semiconductor-device-package locations. The semiconductor-device-package locations having stacks of semiconductor dice thereon may be singulated from the fan out wafer.

Methods of making semiconductor device packages and related semiconductor device packages

Methods of making semiconductor device packages may involve providing a fan out wafer including semiconductor-device-package locations. Each semiconductor-device-package location may include at least two mutually spaced semiconductor dice and a dielectric material laterally surrounding each of the dice and extending between adjacent semiconductor-device-package locations. Electrically conductive traces may extend over active surfaces of the dice and laterally beyond peripheries of the dice over the dielectric material to locations of electrically conductive vias extending from the electrically conductive traces through the dielectric molding material. Semiconductor dice may be stacked on a side of at least some semiconductor-device-package locations of the fan out wafer opposite the electrically conductive traces. The stacks of semiconductor dice may be electrically connected to electrically conductive vias of the at least some semiconductor-device-package locations. The semiconductor-device-package locations having stacks of semiconductor dice thereon may be singulated from the fan out wafer.

A bioabsorbable plug implant, suitable for bone tissue regeneration, includes a first portion, and a second portion extending outwardly from the first portion, the first and second portions formed from expandable material. A method for bone tissue regeneration includes providing a bioabsorbable plug implant, wherein the implant has a first portion and a second portion extending outwardly from the first portion. The first and second portions are formed from expandable material. The second portion is inserted into a defect or gap of a bone. The first surface engages the outside contour of the defect or gap. The plug implant is allowed to contact body fluids, thereby expanding the size of the plug implant so that the plug fits into the defect or gap.
