    Abstract: Disclosed herein are antenna modules, electronic assemblies, and communication devices. An example antenna module includes an IC component, an antenna patch support over a face of the IC component, and a stack of antenna patches vertically arranged at least partially above one another, where a first antenna patch of the stack is an antenna patch closest to the IC component, and a second antenna patch of the stack is an antenna patch closest to the first antenna patch. The first antenna patch is on the face of the IC component while the second and further antenna patches of the stack are on or in the antenna patch support and are electrically isolated from all electrically conductive material pathways in the antenna patch support and in the IC component.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are electronic assemblies, integrated circuit (IC) packages, and communication devices implementing three-dimensional power combiners. An electronic assembly may include a first die, comprising a first transmission line, and a second die, comprising a second transmission line. Each die includes a first face and an opposing second face, and the second die is stacked above the first die so that the first face of the second die is coupled to the second face of the first die. The electronic assembly further includes a first conductive pathway between one end of the first transmission line and a first connection point at the first face of the first die, a second conductive pathway between one end of the second transmission line and a second connection point at the first face of the first die, and a third conductive pathway between the other ends of the first and second transmission lines.

    Abstract: IC devices including IC devices including BPRs that form metal-semiconductor junctions with semiconductor sections where the BPRs are partially buried are disclosed. An example IC device includes a first layer comprising semiconductor structures, such as fins, nanowires, or nanoribbons. The IC device also includes a layer comprising an electrically conductive material and coupled to the semiconductor structures. The IC device further includes a support structure comprising a BPR and a semiconductor section. The BPR contacts with the semiconductor section and forms a metal-semiconductor junction. The metal-semiconductor junction constitutes a Schottky barrier for electrons. The IC device may include a SCR including a sequence of p-well, n-well, p-well, and n-well with Schottky barriers in the first p-well and the second n-well. The Schottky barrier may also be used as a guard ring to extract injected charge carriers.

    Abstract: IC structures including BPRs used for ESD ballasting are disclosed. An IC structure includes semiconductor structures of one or more transistors. A semiconductor structure may be a fin, nanowire, or nanoribbon of a semiconductor material. The IC structure also includes an electrically conductive layer coupled to the semiconductor structures, a power rail, and a support structure. The power rail is coupled to the electrically conductive layer by a via. The power rail is buried in a support structure. The combination of the power rail and the via constitutes a ESD ballasting resistor for the semiconductor structures. A resistance of the ESD ballasting resistor can be in a range from 5 to 20 ohms. The IC structure may include two or more power rails. A power rail may be arranged between two of the semiconductor structures. The power rails may form a meander structure with other components of the IC structure.
