Abstract: A semiconductor device having a channel between active sections or portions of the device is disclosed. An elastic material, such as dielectric or a polymer, is deposited into the channel and cured to increase flexibility and thermal expansion properties of the semiconductor device. The elastic material reduces the thermal and mechanical mismatch between the semiconductor device and the substrate to which the semiconductor device is coupled in downstream processing to improve reliability. The semiconductor device may also include a plurality of channels formed transverse with respect to each other. Some of the channels extend all the way through the semiconductor device, while other channels extend only partially through the semiconductor device.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a metal contact and a passivation layer extending on a sidewall of the metal contact and on first and second surface portions of a top surface of the metal contact. The passivation layer is format by a stack of layers including: a tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) layer; a Phosphorus doped TEOS (PTEOS) layer on top of the TEOS layer; and a Silicon-rich Nitride layer on top of the PTEOS layer. The TEOS and PTEOS layers extend over the first surface portion, but not the second surface portion, of the top surface of the metal contact. The Silicon-rich Nitride layer extends over both the first and second surface portions, and is in contact with the second surface portion.

Abstract: A molded carrier is formed by a unitary body made of a laser direct structuring (LDS) material and includes a blind opening with a bottom surface. The unitary body includes: a floor body portion defining a back side and the bottom surface of the blind opening and an outer peripheral wall body portion defining a sidewall surface of the blind opening. LDS activation followed by electro-plating is used to produce: a die attach pad and bonding pad at the bottom surface; land grid array (LGA) pads at the back side; and vias extending through the floor body portion to make electrical connections between the die attach pad and one LGA pad and between the bonding pad and another LGA pad. An integrated circuit chip is mounted to the die attach pad and wire bonded to the bonding pad. A wafer-scale manufacturing process is used to form the molded carrier.

Abstract: A compact microelectronic gas sensor module includes electrical contacts formed in such a way that they do not consume real estate on an integrated circuit chip. Using such a design, the package can be miniaturized further. The gas sensor is packaged together with a custom-designed Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) that provides circuitry for processing sensor signals to identify gas species within a sample under test. In one example, the output signal strength of the sensor is enhanced by providing an additional metal surface area in the form of pillars exposed to an electrolytic gas sensing compound, while reducing the overall package size. In some examples, bottom side contacts are formed on the underside of the substrate on which the gas sensor is formed. Sensor electrodes may be electrically coupled to the ASIC directly, or indirectly by vias.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a package (e.g., a chip scale package, a wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP), or a package containing a sensor die) with a sensor die on a substrate (e.g., an application-specific integrated circuit die (ASIC), an integrated circuit, or some other type of die having active circuitry) and encased in a molding compound. The sensor die includes a sensing component that is aligned with a centrally located opening that extends through the substrate. The centrally located opening extends through the substrate at an inactive portion of the substrate. The centrally located opening exposes the sensing component of the sensor die to an external environment outside the package.
