摘要: A packaged integrated circuit (IC) includes a leadframe including a die pad and leads around the die pad, an analog IC die having first bond pads on its active top side, and a second circuit including second circuit bond pads attached to the analog IC die by an attachment layer configured as a ring with a hollow center that provides an inner gap. A bottom side of the analog IC or the second circuit is attached to the die pad. Bond wires couple at least some of the first bond pads or some of the second circuit bond pads to the leads, and there is a second coupling between others of the second circuit bond pads and others of the first bond pads. A mold compound is for encapsulating the second circuit and the analog IC.

摘要: An integrated circuit having a body comprised of semiconducting material has one or more electronic components formed in a first region of the body and at least another electronic component formed in the second region of the body. A thermal barrier separates the two regions. By one approach that thermal barrier comprises a gap formed in the body. The gap may comprise an air gap or may be partially or wholly filled with material that inhibits thermal conduction. The thermal barrier may at least substantially surround the aforementioned second region. The second region may also include one or more temperature sensors disposed therein. A temperature control circuit may use the corresponding temperature information from within the second region to actively control the second region temperature using a temperature forcing element that is disposed at least proximal to the second region.

摘要: A thermoelectric device is disclosed which includes metal thermal terminals protruding from a top surface of an IC, connected to vertical thermally conductive conduits made of interconnect elements of the IC. Lateral thermoelectric elements are connected to the vertical conduits at one end and heatsinked to the IC substrate at the other end. The lateral thermoelectric elements are thermally isolated by interconnect dielectric materials on the top side and field oxide on the bottom side. When operated in a generator mode, the metal thermal terminals are connected to a heat source and the IC substrate is connected to a heat sink. Thermal power flows through the vertical conduits to the lateral thermoelectric elements, which generate an electrical potential. The electrical potential may be applied to a component or circuit in the IC. The thermoelectric device may be integrated into an IC without adding fabrication cost or complexity.

摘要: A galvanic isolation device includes a first integrated circuit (IC) die that has communication circuitry formed in a circuit layer below the top surface. A first conductive plate is formed on the IC die proximate the top surface, and is coupled to the communication circuitry. A dielectric isolation layer is formed over a portion of the top surface of the IC after the IC is fabricated such that the dielectric isolation layer completely covers the conductive plate. A second conductive plate is juxtaposed with the first conductive plate but separated by the dielectric isolation layer such that the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate form a capacitor. The second conductive plate is configured to be coupled to a second communication circuit.
