    Abstract: A semiconductor device, or semiconductor device package, that includes a substrate having an antenna structure on a surface of the substrate and a wire bond that electrically connects the antenna structure to the substrate to form an antenna or a first antenna configuration. The substrate may include a second antenna structure with the wire bond connected to the second antenna structure forming a second antenna or antenna configuration. The semiconductor device may include a radio communication device electrically connected to the substrate. The antenna or antenna configuration may be tuned to the requirements of the radio communication device. The antenna configuration may be tuned by connected to different antenna structures on the surface of the substrate. The antenna configuration may be tuned by changing a length of the wire bond, changing a diameter of the wire bond, and/or changing the material of the wire bond.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device assembly that includes a substrate having a first side and a second side, the first side having at least one dummy pad and at least one electrical pad. The semiconductor device assembly includes a first semiconductor device having a first side and a second side and at least one electrical pillar extending from the second side. The electrical pillar is connected to the electrical pad via solder to form an electrical interconnect. The semiconductor device assembly includes at least one dummy pillar extending from the second side of the first semiconductor device and a liquid positioned between an end of the dummy pillar and the dummy pad. The surface tension of the liquid pulls the dummy pillar towards the dummy pad. The surface tension may reduce or minimize a warpage of the semiconductor device assembly and/or align the dummy pillar and the dummy pad.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device assembly has a first substrate, a second substrate, and an anisotropic conductive film. The first substrate includes a first plurality of connectors. The second substrate includes a second plurality of connectors. The anisotropic conductive film is positioned between the first plurality of connectors and the second plurality of connectors. The anisotropic conductive film has an electrically insulative material and a plurality of interconnects laterally separated by the electrically insulative material. The plurality of interconnects forms electrically conductive channels extending from the first plurality of connectors to the second plurality of connectors. A method includes connecting the plurality of interconnects to the first plurality of connectors and the second plurality of connectors, such that the electrically conductive channels are operable to conduct electricity from the first substrate to the second substrate. The method may include passing electrical current through the plurality of interconnects.
