    Abstract: IC devices including BHRs and TSVs for backside heat dissipation are disclosed. An example IC device includes semiconductor structures. The IC device also includes an electrically conductive layer coupled to the semiconductor structures. The IC device further includes one or more BHRs coupled to the electrically conductive layer. Each BHR is connected to a heat dissipation plate by a TSV buried in a support structure. The heat dissipation plate is at the backside of the support structure. The BHRs, TSVs, and heat dissipation plate can conduct heat generated by the semiconductor structures to the backside of the support structure. The BHRs may also be used as power rails for delivering power to the semiconductor structures. A TSV can be enlarged to have a larger cross-sectional area than the BHR for enhancing the heat dissipation. Also, the heat dissipation plate may exceed a cell boundary for sinking heat more efficiently.

    Abstract: IC structures including BPRs used for ESD ballasting are disclosed. An IC structure includes semiconductor structures of one or more transistors. A semiconductor structure may be a fin, nanowire, or nanoribbon of a semiconductor material. The IC structure also includes an electrically conductive layer coupled to the semiconductor structures, a power rail, and a support structure. The power rail is coupled to the electrically conductive layer by a via. The power rail is buried in a support structure. The combination of the power rail and the via constitutes a ESD ballasting resistor for the semiconductor structures. A resistance of the ESD ballasting resistor can be in a range from 5 to 20 ohms. The IC structure may include two or more power rails. A power rail may be arranged between two of the semiconductor structures. The power rails may form a meander structure with other components of the IC structure.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are IC devices, packages, and device assemblies that include III-N diodes with n-doped wells and capping layers. An example IC device includes a support structure and a III-N layer, provided over a portion of the support structure, the III-N layer including an n-doped well of a III-N semiconductor material having n-type dopants with a dopant concentration of at least 5×1017 dopants per cubic centimeter. The IC device further includes a first and a second electrodes and at least one capping layer. The first electrode interfaces a first portion of the n-doped well. The capping layer interfaces a second portion of the n-doped well and includes a semiconductor material with a dopant concentration below 1017 dopants per cubic centimeter. The second electrode is provided so that the capping layer is between the second portion of the n-doped well and the second electrode.

    Abstract: Example antenna module includes antenna units provided over an antenna unit support, and ICs communicatively coupled to various antenna units. The ICs are arranged in two or more subsets of one or more ICs in each subset, where an individual IC belongs to only one subset, different subsets are in different layers with respect to the antenna unit support, and an average pitch of projections of all of the ICs onto a plane parallel to the antenna unit support is substantially equal to, or smaller, than an average pitch of the antenna units. When an average width of the ICs is larger than the average pitch of the antenna units, arranging the ICs in two or more subsets in different layers means that at least one of the ICs of one subset partially overlaps with at least one of the ICs of another subset.
