    摘要: Radio frequency (RF) power dies having flip-chip architectures are disclosed, as are power amplifier modules (PAMs) containing such RF power dies. Embodiment of the PAM include a module substrate and an RF power die, which is mounted to a surface of the module substrate in an inverted orientation. The RF power die includes, in turn, a die body having a frontside and an opposing backside, a transistor having active regions formed in the die body, and a frontside layer system formed over the die body frontside. The frontside layer system contains patterned metal layers defining first, second, and third branched electrode structures, which are electrically coupled to the active regions of the transistor. A frontside input/output interface is formed in an outer terminal portion of the frontside layer system and contains first, second, and third bond pads electrically coupled to the first, second, and third branched electrode structures, respectively.

    摘要: An amplifier module includes a module substrate with a mounting surface, a signal conducting layer, a ground layer, and a ground terminal pad at the mounting surface. A thermal dissipation structure extends through the module substrate. A ground contact of a power transistor die is coupled to a surface of the thermal dissipation structure. Encapsulant material covers the mounting surface of the module substrate and the power transistor die, and a surface of the encapsulant material defines a contact surface of the amplifier module. A ground terminal is embedded within the encapsulant material. The ground terminal has a proximal end coupled to the ground terminal pad, and a distal end exposed at the contact surface. The ground terminal is electrically coupled to the ground contact of the power transistor die through the ground terminal pad, the ground layer of the module substrate, and the thermal dissipation structure.
