Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method to form silicon germanium (SiGe) source/drain regions with the incorporation of a lateral etch in the epitaxial source/drain growth process. For example, the method can include forming a plurality of fins on a substrate, where each of the plurality of fins has a first width. The SiGe source/drain regions can be formed on the plurality of fins, where each SiGe source/drain region has a second width in a common direction with the first width and a height. The method can also include selectively etching—e.g., via a lateral etch—the SiGe source/drain regions to decrease the second width of the SiGe source/drain regions. By decreasing the width of the SiGe source/drain regions, electrical shorts between neighboring fins can be prevented or minimized. Further, the method can include growing an epitaxial capping layer over the Si/Ge source/drain regions.

Abstract: In a semiconductor package having a redistribution structure, two or more semiconductor dies are connected to a first side of the redistribution structure and an encapsulant surrounds the two or more semiconductor dies. An integrated passive device (IPD) is connected on a second side of the redistribution structure. The second side is opposite to the first side and the IPD is electrically coupled to the redistribution structure. An interconnect device is connected on the second side of the redistribution structure and is electrically coupled to the redistribution structure. Two or more external connections are on the second side of the redistribution structure and are electrically coupled to the redistribution structure.
