A device and method of fabricating are provided. The device includes a substrate having a first side and an opposite second side, a cavity defined within the substrate from the first side, a die coupled to a floor of the cavity and having a conductive pad on a side of the die distal to the floor of the cavity.

An integrated circuit package includes a substrate/interposer assembly having a plurality of conductive contacts and a plurality of conductive posts, such as copper posts, electrically coupled to at least some of the conductive contacts in the substrate/interposer assembly. The conductive posts are surrounded by a protective dielectric, such as a photoimageable dielectric (PID). An integrated circuit die may be disposed on the substrate/interposer assembly within an interior space surrounded by the dielectric. An additional integrated circuit die may be provided in a package-on-package (POP) configuration.

Abstract:
In exemplary aspects of the disclosure, magnetic coupling problems in a power amplifier/antenna circuit may be address by using a self-shielded RF inductor mounted over the PA output match inductor embedded in the substrate to offer full RF isolation of both PA output match inductors (self-shielded and embedded) or using a self-shielded RF inductor mounted over the PA output match inductor embedded in the substrate along with a component level conformal shield around the self-shielded inductor on the assembly structure.

A semiconductor device according to some examples of the disclosure may include a package substrate, a semiconductor die coupled to one side of the package substrate with a first set of contacts on an active side of the semiconductor die and coupled to a plurality of solder prints with a second set of contacts on a back side of the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die may include a plurality of vias connecting the first set of contacts to the second set of contacts and configured to allow heat to be transferred from the active side of the die to the plurality of solder prints for a shorter heat dissipation path.
Abstract:
Some features pertain to a package that includes a redistribution portion, a first die coupled to the redistribution portion, a core layer coupled to the redistribution portion, and an encapsulation layer encapsulating the first die and the core layer. The redistribution portion includes a first dielectric layer. The core layer has a higher Young's Modulus than the encapsulation layer. In some implementations, the core layer includes a glass fiber (e.g., core layer is a glass reinforced dielectric layer). In some implementations, the core layer has a Young's Modulus of about at least 15 gigapascals (Gpa). In some implementations, the first die includes a front side and a back side, where the front side of the first die is coupled to the redistribution portion. In some implementations, the first dielectric layer is a photo imageable dielectric (PID) layer.
