A semiconductor package includes a substrate, at least one semiconductor chip arranged in the substrate and having chip pads, and a redistribution wiring layer covering a lower surface of the substrate and including first and second redistribution wirings and dummy patterns, the first and second redistribution wirings being stacked in at least two levels and connected to the chip pads. The first and second redistribution wirings are arranged in a redistribution region of the redistribution wiring layer, and the dummy patterns extend in an outer region outside the redistribution region to partially cover corner portions of the redistribution wiring layer, respectively.

An active-matrix touchscreen includes a substrate, a system controller, and a plurality of spatially separated independent touch elements disposed on the substrate. Each touch element includes a touch sensor and a touch controller circuit that provides one or more sensor-control signals to the touch sensor and receives a sense signal responsive to the sensor-control signals from the touch sensor. Each touch sensor operates independently of any other touch sensor.

A method for manufacturing a laser diode device includes providing a substrate having a surface region and forming epitaxial material overlying the surface region, the epitaxial material comprising an n-type cladding region, an active region comprising at least one active layer overlying the n-type cladding region, and a p-type cladding region overlying the active layer region. The epitaxial material is patterned to form a plurality of dice, each of the dice corresponding to at least one laser device, characterized by a first pitch between a pair of dice, the first pitch being less than a design width. Each of the plurality of dice are transferred to a carrier wafer such that each pair of dice is configured with a second pitch between each pair of dice, the second pitch being larger than the first pitch.

A method includes bonding a die to a substrate, where the substrate has a first redistribution structure, the die has a second redistribution structure, and the first redistribution structure is bonded to the second redistribution structure. A first isolation material is formed over the substrate and around the die. A first conductive via is formed, extending from a first surface of the substrate, where the first surface is opposite the second redistribution structure, the first conductive via contacting a first conductive element in the second redistribution structure. Forming the first conductive via includes patterning an opening in the substrate, extending the opening to expose the first conductive element, where extending the opening includes using a portion of a second conductive element in the first redistribution structure as an etch mask, and filling the opening with a conductive material.

A semiconductor package includes an insulating layer including a first face and a second face opposite each other, a redistribution pattern including a wiring region and a via region in the insulating layer, the wiring region being on the via region, and a first semiconductor chip connected to the redistribution pattern. The first semiconductor chip may be on the redistribution pattern. An upper face of the wiring region may be coplanar with the first face of the insulating layer.

Photonic devices and methods of manufacture are provided. In embodiments a fill material and/or a secondary waveguide are utilized in order to protect other internal structures such as grating couplers from the rigors of subsequent processing steps. Through the use of these structures at the appropriate times during the manufacturing process, damage and debris that would otherwise interfere with the manufacturing process of the device or operation of the device can be avoided.
