    摘要: Described examples include a sensor device having at least one conductive elongated first pillar positioned on a central pad of a first conductor layer over a semiconductor substrate, the first pillar extending in a first direction normal to a plane of a surface of the first conductor layer. Conductive elongated second pillars are positioned in normal orientation on a second conductor layer over the semiconductor substrate, the conductive elongated second pillars at locations coincident to via openings in the first conductor layer. The second conductor layer is parallel to and spaced from the first conductor layer by at least an insulator layer, the conductive elongated second pillars extending in the first direction through a respective one of the via openings. The at least one conductive elongated first pillar is spaced from surrounding conductive elongated second pillars by gaps.

    摘要: In some examples, a semiconductor package comprises a semiconductor die; a conductive member coupled to the semiconductor die; and a wirebonded protrusion coupled to the conductive member. A physical structure of the wirebonded protrusion is determined at least in part by a sequence of movements of a wirebonding capillary used to form the wirebonded protrusion, the wirebonded protrusion including a ball bond and a bond wire, and the bond wire having a proximal end coupled to the ball bond. The bond wire has a distal end. The package also comprises a mold compound covering the semiconductor die, the conductive member, and the wirebonded protrusion. The distal end is in a common vertical plane with the ball bond and is not connected to a structure other than the mold compound.
