Abstract:
A method forming a packaged semiconductor device includes providing a first semiconductor die (first die) having bond pads thereon mounted face-up on a package substrate or on a die pad of a lead frame (substrate), wherein the substrate includes terminals or contact pads (substrate pads). A first dielectric layer is formed including printing a first dielectric precursor layer including a first ink having a first liquid carrier solvent extending from the substrate pads to the bond pads. A first interconnect precursor layer is printed including a second ink having a second liquid carrier over the first dielectric layer extending from the substrate pads to the bond pads. Sintering or curing the first interconnect precursor layer removes at least the second liquid carrier to form an electrically conductive interconnect including an ink residue which connects respective substrate pads to respective bond pads.
Abstract:
An encapsulated integrated circuit has transceiver circuitry operable to produce and/or receive a radio frequency (RF) signal, wherein bond pads on the IC die are coupled to the transceiver input/output (IO) circuitry. An antenna structure is coupled to the IO circuitry via the bond pads. Mold material encapsulates the IC die and the antenna structure, wherein the antenna structure is positioned so as to be approximately in alignment with a core of a dielectric waveguide positioned adjacent the encapsulated IC.
