摘要:
Methods for packaging microelectronic devices and microelectronic devices formed using such methods are disclosed herein. One aspect of the invention is directed toward a method for packaging a microelectronic device that includes coupling an active side of a microelectronic die to a surface of a support member. The microelectronic die can have a backside opposite the active side, a peripheral side extending at least part way between the active side and the backside, and at least one through-wafer interconnect. The method can further include applying an encapsulant to cover a portion of the surface of the support member so that a portion of the encapsulant is laterally adjacent to the peripheral side, removing material from a backside of the microelectronic die to expose a portion of at least one through-wafer interconnect, and applying a redistribution structure to the backside of the microelectronic die.

Substrates for mounting microelectronic dies, methods for forming vias in such substrates, and methods for packaging microelectronic devices are disclosed herein. A method of manufacturing a substrate in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes forming a conductive trace on a first side of a sheet of non-conductive material, and forming a via through the non-conductive material from a second side of the sheet to the conductive trace. The method further includes removing a section of the non-conductive material to form an edge of the non-conductive material extending across at least a portion of the via. In one embodiment, forming the edge across the via exposes at least a portion of the second conductive trace for subsequent attachment to a terminal on a microelectronic die.

Stacked microelectronic devices and methods for manufacturing such devices are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a stacked microelectronic device assembly can include a first known good packaged microelectronic device including a first interposer substrate. A first die and a first through-casing interconnects are electrically coupled to the first interposer substrate. A first casing at least partially encapsulates the first device such that a portion of each first interconnect is accessible at a top portion of the first casing. A second known good packaged microelectronic device is coupled to the first device in a stacked configuration. The second device can include a second interposer substrate having a plurality of second interposer pads and a second die electrically coupled to the second interposer substrate. The exposed portions of the first interconnects are electrically coupled to corresponding second interposer pads.

Methods of fabrication of lead frame-based semiconductor device packages including at least one land grid array package. At least one semiconductor die is mounted to an interposer substrate, with bond pads of the semiconductor die connected to terminal pads of the interposer substrate. The terminal pads of the interposer substrate may be electrically connected to both a peripheral array pattern of lands and to a central, two-dimensional array pattern of pads, both array patterns located on the opposing side of the interposer substrate from the at least one semiconductor die. The assembly is overmolded with an encapsulant, leaving the opposing side of the interposer substrate free of encapsulant. Lead fingers of a lead frame superimposed on the opposing side of the interposer substrate are bonded directly to the land grid array lands.

A method may include receiving a reconfiguration to a first Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)/spanning tree table, where the first VLAN/spanning tree table has a first identifier and is associated with a region of a network; updating the first VLAN/spanning tree table to generate a second VLAN/spanning tree table based on the reconfiguration; determining a second identifier of the second VLAN/spanning tree table; and generating a list of identifiers associated with the region of the network, the list including the first identifier and the second identifier.
摘要:
A wireless communication device includes an antenna configured with two conductive elements separated by an insulating medium. One conductive element is a ground plane and the other is a microstrip line. The ground plane is formed with a bend proximate an end. The microstrip line and the ground plane exhibit a characteristic impedance that may vary along the length of the microstrip line. The separation distance of the microstrip line from the ground plane is changed to reduce the resonant frequency of the microstrip line. A second microstrip line with an open end and another end shorted to the ground plane is operative to prevent RF current from flowing on the backside of the ground plane. A backside of the ground plane and the second microstrip line may be covered with a lossy magnetic medium to reduce the near field above the backside of the ground plane.
