Abstract: A switch that includes a droplet capable of spreading between two conductors to allow them to be coupled when a voltage is applied. The droplet can be enclosed by a cap that is bonded to a wafer that the droplet is placed upon, and include metallic properties. The cap can create a cavity that may be filled by a fluid, gas, or vapor. The cavity can have multiple conductors that extend partially or fully through it. The droplet can couple the conductors when specific voltages, or frequencies are applied to them. At the specific voltage and frequency, the droplet can spread, allowing at least two conductors to be coupled.

Abstract: In described examples, a method for fabricating a semiconductor device and a three dimensional structure, and packaging them together, includes: fabricating the integrated circuit on a substrate, immersing the substrate in a liquid encapsulation material, and illuminating the liquid encapsulation material to polymerize the liquid encapsulation material. Immersing the semiconductor device is performed to cover a layer of a platform in the liquid encapsulation material. The platform is a lead frame, a packaging substrate, or the substrate. The illuminating step targets locations of the liquid encapsulation material covering the layer. Illuminated encapsulation material forms solid encapsulation material that is fixedly coupled to contiguous portions of the semiconductor device and of the solid encapsulation material. The immersing and illuminating steps are repeated until a three dimensional structure is formed. The integrated circuit and the three dimensional structure are encapsulated in a single package.

Abstract: A method includes measuring a temperature of a semiconductor die, in which the semiconductor die includes a piezoelectric device, a pyroelectric device, and a memory. The method further includes receiving a first signal from the pyroelectric device, and based on the first signal, determining a parameter to be combined with a second signal from the piezoelectric device. The method further includes storing the parameter and the measured temperature into the memory.

Abstract: In a described example, a structure includes a substrate having a surface with multiple sides. A sensor is positioned within the substrate and a seed layer is over at least four sides of the surface of the substrate. A magnetic shield layer is over the seed layer for the at least four sides of the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: An antenna integrated in a device package is formed such that at least a portion of the antenna is elevated with respect to a substrate of the device package. The entire antenna and its functionality are positioned within a space extending vertically upwardly from a footprint of the substrate that contains circuitry of the device. The boundary of the space is defined by the perimeter of an over mold positioned on the substrate and encapsulating the circuitry.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes curing a shape memory polymer in a first shape. The shape memory polymer is coupled to a conductive layer. The method further includes folding the shape memory polymer from the first shape into a second shape. The method also includes bonding a semiconductor wafer to the conductive layer while the shape memory polymer is in the second shape. The semiconductor wafer has first and second dies. The semiconductor wafer is then singulated to separate the first die from the second die. The method further includes expanding the shape memory polymer to its first shape and singulating the shape memory polymer to separate the first and second dies.
