Abstract:
An electronic package includes a first integrated circuit (IC) die arranged in a first orientation, a second IC die arranged in a second orientation inverted relative to the first orientation, at least one upper conductive routing layer extending over the first IC die and second IC die, at least one lower conductive routing layer extending under the first IC die and second IC die, and a mold compound at least partially encapsulating the first IC die and the second IC die.
Abstract:
A capacitor structure may include a lower conducting layer (e.g., poly 1 layer) and an upper conducting layer (e.g., overlying poly 2 layer), which define an anode and cathode, and a dielectric layer (e.g., an ONO layer stack) located between the upper conducting layer and the lower conducting layer, wherein a portion of the dielectric layer (e.g., at least the nitride layer of the ONO layer stack) extends beyond a lateral edge of the upper conducting layer. A method forming such capacitor structure may utilize a spacer adjacent the lateral edge of the upper conducting layer and over the first portion of the dielectric layer, performing an etch to remove a first portion of the dielectric layer but protect a second portion located below the spacer and extending laterally beyond an edge of the upper conducting layer.

Abstract:
High voltage rated isolation capacitors are formed on a face of a primary integrated circuit die. The isolation capacitors AC couple the primary integrated circuit in a first voltage domain to a second integrated circuit in a second voltage domain. The isolation capacitors DC isolate the primary integrated circuit from the second integrated circuit die. Isolated power transfer from the first voltage domain to the second voltage domain is provided through the high voltage rated isolation capacitors with an AC oscillator or PWM generator. The AC oscillator voltage amplitude may be increased for an increase in power through the high voltage rated isolation capacitors, and a larger value capacitor in the second voltage domain may provide for peak current demand from circuits in the second voltage domain.
