Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a single-package communications device that includes an antenna module with a plurality of independently selectable arrays of antenna elements. The antenna elements of the different arrays may send and/or receive data signals over different ranges of signal angles. The communications device may further include a switch module to separately activate the individual arrays. In some embodiments, a radio frequency (RF) communications module may be included in the package of the communications device. In some embodiments, the RF communications module may be configured to communicate over a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) network using the plurality of arrays of antenna elements.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a multi-layer package with antenna and associated techniques and configurations. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) package assembly includes a first layer having a first side and a second side disposed opposite to the first side a second layer coupled with the first side of the first layer, one or more antenna elements coupled with the second layer and a third layer coupled with the second side of the first layer, wherein the first layer is a reinforcement layer having a tensile modulus that is greater than a tensile modulus of the second layer and the third layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Methods of forming a microelectronic packaging structure and associated structures formed thereby are described. Those methods and structures may include forming a package structure comprising a discrete antenna disposed on a back side of a device, wherein the discrete antenna comprises an antenna substrate, a through antenna substrate via vertically disposed through the antenna substrate. A through device substrate via that is vertically disposed within the device is coupled with the through antenna substrate via, and a package substrate is coupled with an active side of the device.
Abstract:
Technologies for a shield for electromagnetic interference include a circuit board with an integrated circuit package on it, with a hole in the circuit board under the integrated circuit package. The integrated circuit package may include one or more dies or other components on the underside of the package, at least partially positioned in the hole in the circuit board. An electromagnetic shield box can be positioned in the hole. Tabs of the electromagnetic shield box may interface with pads on the same side of the circuit board as the integrated circuit package. The electromagnetic shield box may prevent or reduce electromagnetic or radiofrequency interference on the components of the integrated circuit package. Positioning the electromagnetic shield box can reduce the overall height of the circuit board, among other advantages.

Wireless interconnects in integrated circuit package substrates with glass cores are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a semiconductor die and a substrate including a glass core. The apparatus also includes a pluggable interconnect including a portion of the glass core. The pluggable interconnect includes a transmission line extending along the portion of the glass core.
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:
Embodiments may relate to a die such as an acoustic wave resonator (AWR) die. The die may include a first filter and a second filter in the die body. The die may further include an electromagnetic interference (EMI) structure that surrounds at least one of the filters. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.
