Abstract:
Enclosure technology for electronic components is disclosed. An enclosure for an electronic component can comprise a base member and a cover member disposed on the base member such that the cover member and the base member form an enclosure for an electronic component. In one aspect, the base member can have at least one via extending therethrough. The at least one via can be configured to electrically couple an enclosed electronic component with another electronic component external to the enclosure. In another aspect, the cover member can include a protrusion, a receptacle, or both, and the base member can include a mating protrusion, receptacle, or both to facilitate proper alignment of the cover member and the base member. Electronic device packages and associated systems and methods are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include a switching device that includes an electrode, a piezoelectric material coupled to the electrode, and a movable structure (e.g., cantilever, beam) coupled to the piezoelectric material. The movable structure includes a first end coupled to an anchor of a package substrate having organic layers and a second released end positioned within a cavity of the package substrate.
Abstract:
A semiconductor package is described herein with electromagnetic shielding using metal layers and vias. In one example, the package includes a silicon substrate having a front side and a back side, the front side including active circuitry and an array of contacts to attach to a substrate, a metallization layer over the back side of the die to shield active circuitry from interference through the back side, and a plurality of through-silicon vias coupled to the back side metallization at one end and to front side lands of the array of lands at the other end to shield active circuitry from interference through the sides of the die.
