INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PACKAGES TO MINIMIZE STRESS ON A SEMICONDUCTOR DIE
An integrated circuit package can contain a semiconductor die and provide electrical connections between the semiconductor die and additional electronic components. The integrated circuit package can reduce stress placed on the semiconductor die due to movement of the integrated circuit package due to, for example, temperature changes and/or moisture levels. The integrated circuit package can at least partially mechanically isolate the semiconductor die from the integrated circuit package.
Multi-chip package having stress relief structure
A semiconductor device includes a package substrate, and a first die group bonded onto the package substrate. The first die group characterized by a first thickness. The semiconductor device also has a second die group bonded onto the package substrate. The second die group characterized by a second thickness. The semiconductor device further includes a carrier substrate disposed on the first die group. The carrier substrate is characterized by a third thickness that is a function of a difference between the first thickness and the second thickness. A molding compound material is disposed on the package substrate and covers the first die group and the second die group. The molding compound material includes a cavity between the first die group and the second die group.

Gasses for increasing yield and reliability of MEMS devices
In described examples, a MEMS device is enclosed within a sealed package including nonmetal oxide gasses at levels greater than 1% by volume. In at least one example, the MEMS device is protected against premature failure from various causes, including charging, particle growth and stiction by moieties of the nonmetal oxide gasses reacting with various exposed surfaces within the package of the MEMS device and/or the adsorbed water layers on said surfaces.

BONDED STRUCTURES
A bonded structure can include a first element having a first interface feature and a second element having a second interface feature. The first interface feature can be bonded to the second interface feature to define an interface structure. A conductive trace can be disposed in or on the second element. A bond pad can be provided at an upper surface of the first element and in electrical communication with the conductive trace. An integrated device can be coupled to or formed with the first element or the second element.
Method for remapping a packaged extracted die with 3D printed bond connections
A method is provided. The method includes removing an extracted die including an original ball bond from a previous packaged integrated circuit, bonding the extracted die to an interposer to create a remapped extracted die, 3D printing one or more first bond connections between one or more original bond pads of the extracted die and one or more first bond pads of the interposer, securing the remapped extracted die to a package base, and 3D printing one or more second bond connections between one or more second bond pads of the interposer and one or more package leads or downbonds of the package base. The one or more first and second bond connections conform to the shapes and surfaces of the extracted die, the interposer, and the package base.
