A glass-based, high-performance 60 GHz/mm-wave antenna includes cavities disposed in a phased-array antenna (PAA) substrate. The cavities are disposed below planar antenna elements. Emitter traces are disposed on the PAA substrate opposite the planar antenna elements and the emitter traces, the cavities, and the planar antenna elements are vertically aligned.

A semiconductor package comprises an integrated radio frequency circuit that may be provided in a semiconductor die. A ground plane may be attached to the semiconductor die. The ground plane is selectively patterned in a direction that is perpendicular to an inductor trace of an inductor of the radio frequency circuit. In some embodiments, the ground plane may be selectively patterned to allow an eddy current in the semiconductor package not to flow in opposite direction of a main current in the inductor. In one example, the ground plane may be a portion of the semiconductor package substrate or a die back metallization of the semiconductor die.

Techniques and mechanisms for providing precisely fabricated structures of a semiconductor package. In an embodiment, a build-up carrier of the semiconductor package includes a layer of porous dielectric material. Seed copper and plated copper is disposed on the layer of porous dielectric material. Subsequent etching is performed to remove copper adjacent to the layer of porous dielectric material, forming a gap separating a suspended portion of a MEMS structure from the layer of porous dielectric material. In another embodiment, the semiconductor package includes a copper structure disposed between portions of an insulating layer or portions of a layer of silicon nitride material. The layer of silicon nitride material couples the insulating layer to another insulating layer. One or both of the insulating layers are each protected from desmear processing with a respective release layer structure.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a single-package communications device that includes an antenna module with a plurality of independently selectable arrays of antenna elements. The antenna elements of the different arrays may send and/or receive data signals over different ranges of signal angles. The communications device may further include a switch module to separately activate the individual arrays. In some embodiments, a radio frequency (RF) communications module may be included in the package of the communications device. In some embodiments, the RF communications module may be configured to communicate over a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) network using the plurality of arrays of antenna elements.
