A semiconductor die (“die”) employing repurposed seed layer for forming additional signal paths to a back end-of-line (BEOL) structure of the die, and related integrated circuit (IC) packages and fabrication methods. A seed layer is repurposed that was disposed adjacent the BEOL interconnect structure to couple an under bump metallization (UBM) interconnect without a coupled interconnect bump thus forming an unraised interconnect bump, to a UBM interconnect that has a raised interconnect bump. To couple the unraised interconnect bump to the raised interconnect bump, the seed layer is selectively removed during fabrication to leave a portion of the seed layer repurposed that couples the UBM interconnect that does not have an interconnect bump to the UBM interconnect that has a raised interconnect bump. Additional routing paths can be provided between raised interconnect bumps to the BEOL interconnect structure through coupling of UBM interconnects to an unraised interconnect bump.

The RF chip may facilitate conveyance of data to the waveguide as an electromagnetic signal with a frequency greater than approximately 20 gigahertz (GHz). Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

A radio frequency module includes a multilayer wiring board, components to mounted on an upper surface of the multilayer wiring board, a shield member formed of a plurality of bonding wires to cover the component, and a protruding electrode provided at a bonding ending-point portion of each of the bonding wires.

The shield member to cover side surfaces and a top surface of the component can be easily formed.

A method of transferring a micro device and an array of micro devices are disclosed. A carrier substrate carrying a micro device connected to a bonding layer is heated to a temperature below a liquidus temperature of the bonding layer, and a transfer head is heated to a temperature above the liquidus temperature of the bonding layer. Upon contacting the micro device with the transfer head, the heat from the transfer head transfers into the bonding layer to at least partially melt the bonding layer. A voltage applied to the transfer head creates a grip force which picks up the micro device from the carrier substrate.
