Abstract: An encapsulated package is provided that includes a pair integrated circuit (IC) die. A radio frequency (RF) circuit on one of the IC die is operable to transmit an RF signal having a selected frequency. An RF circuit on the other IC die is operable to receive the RF signal Encapsulation material encapsulates the IC die. A photonic waveguide couples between the RF transmitter and RF receiver to form galvanic path isolation between the two IC die. The photonic waveguide is formed by a photonic structure within the encapsulation material.

Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a photonic die having a die input/output (I/O) port. The microelectronic device includes a photonic connection between the first photonic I/O port and the second photonic I/O port. The photonic connection has a dielectric signal pathway for a photonic signal from the first photonic I/O port to the second photonic I/O port. The second photonic I/O port may be a package photonic I/O port at an exterior of the microelectronic device, or may be another die photonic I/O port on another photonic die of the microelectronic device. The photonic connection is formed using at least one additive process, such as by selectively placing material for the photonic connection in a region for the photonic connection.

Abstract: An encapsulated integrated circuit package is provided that includes an integrated circuit (IC) die. A radio frequency (RF) circuit on the IC die is operable to send and/or receive an RF signal having a selected frequency. Encapsulation material encapsulates the IC die. A photonic waveguide couples to the RF circuit and extends to an external surface of the encapsulated IC. The photonic waveguide may be formed by a photonic bandgap structure within the encapsulation material. A socket may be included with the encapsulated package that is coupled to an end of the photonic waveguide opposite the RF circuit.

Abstract: A microelectronic device includes an electrical conductor which includes a graphene heterolayer. The graphene heterolayer includes a plurality of alternating layers of graphene and barrier material. Each layer of the graphene has one to two atomic layers of graphene. Each layer of the barrier material has one to three layers of hexagonal boron nitride, cubic boron nitride, and/or aluminum nitride. The layers of graphene and the layers of barrier material may be continuous, or may be disposed in nanoparticles of a nanoparticle film.

Abstract: A system is provided in which a set of modules each have a substrate on which is mounted a radio frequency (RF) transmitter and/or an RF receiver. Each module has a housing that surrounds and encloses the substrate. The housing has a port region on a surface of the housing. Each module has a tapered near field communication (NFC) field confiner located between the substrate and the port region on the housing configured to guide electromagnetic energy produced by the RF transmitter to the port region so that it can be emanated to a port region of an adjacent module.

Abstract: A system is provided in which a set of modules each have a substrate on which is mounted a radio frequency (RF) transmitter and/or an RF receiver coupled to a near field communication (NFC) coupler located on the substrate. Each module has a housing that surrounds and encloses the substrate. The housing has a port region on a surface of the housing. Each module has a field confiner located between the NFC coupler and the port region on the housing configured to guide electromagnetic energy emanated from the NFC coupler through the port region to a port region of an adjacent module. An artificial magnetic conductor surface is positioned adjacent the backside of each NFC coupler to reflect back side electromagnetic energy with a phase shift of approximately zero degrees.

Abstract: In described examples, an integrated circuit includes a leadframe structure, which includes electrical conductors. A first coil structure is electrically connected to a first pair of the electrical conductors of the leadframe structure. The first coil structure is partially formed on a semiconductor die structure. A second coil structure is electrically connected to a second pair of the electrical conductors of the leadframe structure. The second coil structure is partially formed on the semiconductor die structure. A molded package structure encloses portions of the leadframe structure. The molded package structure exposes portions of the first and second pairs of the electrical conductors to allow external connection to the first and second coil structures. The molded package structure includes a cavity to magnetically couple portions of the first and second coil structures.
