Embodiments described herein provide techniques for using a stress absorption material to improve solder joint reliability in semiconductor packages and packaged systems. One technique produces a semiconductor package that includes a die on a substrate, where the die has a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a sidewall surface coupling the first surface to the second surface. The semiconductor package further includes a stress absorption material contacting the sidewall surface of the die and a molding compound separated from the sidewall surface of the die by the stress absorption material. The Young's modulus of the stress absorption material is lower than the Young's modulus of the molding compound. One example of a stress absorption material is a photoresist.

Isolators for signals and/or powers transmitted between two circuits configured to operate at different voltage domains are provided. The isolators may have working voltages, for example, higher than 500 Vrms, higher than 1000 Vrms, or between 333 Vrms and 1800 Vrms. The isolators may have a fully symmetrical configuration. The isolators may include a primary winding coupled to a driver and a secondary winding coupled to a receiver. The primary and secondary windings may be laterally coupled to and galvanically isolated from each other. The primary and secondary windings may include concentric traces. The primary and secondary windings may be fabricated using a single metallization layer on a substrate.
