    摘要: Semiconductor devices having reinforcement structures configured to mitigate thermomechanical stresses, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die and a substrate coupled to the semiconductor die. The substrate can include a base structure and a reinforcement structure at least partially within a die shadow region of the substrate. The reinforcement structure can be at least partially surrounded by the base structure. The reinforcement structure has a higher stiffness than the base structure.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory system having a plurality of semiconductor memory modules that are spaced apart from each other by a gap. The system includes a heat dissipation assembly having a thermally conductive base portion configured to transfer heat away from the memory devices. The heat dissipation assembly including at least one cooling unit extending from the base portion. The at least one cooling unit having a wall with an exterior surface and a cavity. The cooling unit is configured to fit in the gap between adjacent memory modules such that a portion of the exterior surface on a first side of the cooling unit is coupled to one of the first memory devices and another portion of the exterior surface on a second side of the cooling unit is coupled to one of the second memory devices across the gap.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices and semiconductor device packages may include at least one first semiconductor die supported on a first side of a substrate. The at least one first semiconductor die may include a first active surface. A second semiconductor die may be supported on a second, opposite side of the substrate. The second semiconductor die may include a second active surface located on a side of the second semiconductor die facing the substrate. The second semiconductor die may be configured to have higher median power consumption than the at least one first semiconductor die during operation. An electronic system incorporating a semiconductor device package is disclosed, as are related methods.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices having metallization structures including crack-inhibiting structures, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a metallization structure formed over a semiconductor substrate. The metallization structure can include a bond pad electrically coupled to the semiconductor substrate via one or more layers of conductive material, and an insulating material—such as a low-κ dielectric material—at least partially around the conductive material. The metallization structure can further include a crack-inhibiting structure positioned beneath the bond pad between the bond pad and the semiconductor substrate. The crack-inhibiting structure can include a barrier member extending vertically from the bond pad toward the semiconductor substrate and configured to inhibit crack propagation through the insulating material.
