Method of magnetically separating particulate materials

The present invention relates to a method of separating non-ferro metal particles using a rotating magnetic field. According to the invention the particles are surrounded by a fluid restricting the fall-velocity significantly, suitably a fluid having a density of at least 0.1 kg/l. The presence of such a medium causes the particle, if it is a...

Through-polymer via (TPV) and method to manufacture such a via

The invention relates to vias for three dimensional (3D) stacking, packaging and heterogeneous integration of semi-conductor layers and wafers. In particular, the invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a via, to a via, to a 3D circuit and to a semiconductor device. Vias are interconnects used to vertically interconnect chips,...
