An integrated circuit die includes a semiconductor substrate, an interconnect layer including bonding pads, and a passivation layer covering the interconnect layer and including openings at the bonding pads. A conductive redistribution layer including conductive lines and conductive vias is supported by the passivation layer. An insulating layer covers the conductive redistribution layer and the passivation layer. Channels formed in an upper surface of the insulating layer delimit pedestal regions in the insulating layer. A through via extends from an upper surface of each pedestal region through the pedestal region and the insulating layer to reach and make contact with a portion of the conductive redistribution layer. A metal pad is formed at the upper surface of each pedestal region in contact with its associated through via. The metal pads for leads of a quad-flat no-lead (QFN) type package.

A method of fabricating an electronic device including fabricating a multilevel package substrate with first, second, third, and fourth levels, a semiconductor die mounted to the first level, and fabricating a conductor backed coplanar waveguide transmission line feed with an interconnect and a conductor, the interconnect including coplanar first, second, and third conductive lines extending in the first level along a first direction from respective ends to an antenna, the second and third conductive lines spaced apart from opposite sides of the first conductive line along an orthogonal second direction, and the conductor extending in the third level under the interconnect and under the antenna.

Semiconductor die assemblies with decomposable materials, and associated methods and systems are disclosed. In an embodiment, a semiconductor die assembly includes a memory controller die carrying one or more memory dies attached to its first side. The semiconductor die assembly also includes a biodegradable structure attached to its second side opposite to the first side. The biodegradable structure includes a conductive material and an insulating material, both of which are biodegradable and disintegrate in a wet process. The biodegradable structure can be configured to couple the memory controller die with an interface die. In this manner, when the biodegradable structure disintegrates (e.g., dissolve) in the wet process, the memory controller carrying the memory dies can be separated from the interface die to reclaim the memory controller with the memory dies and the interface die.

A wireless transistor outline (TO) package structure includes a carrying module, a chip and a lead frame both mounted on the carrying module, a sheet-like bonding module mounted on the chip and the lead frame in a flip chip manner, and an encapsulant that covers the above components therein. A connection pad of the chip and a connection segment of the lead frame are coplanar with each other. The sheet-like bonding module includes a ceramic substrate and a plurality of circuit layers that are stacked and formed on the ceramic substrate in a direct plated copper (DPC) manner. Areas of the circuit layers gradually decrease in a direction away from the ceramic substrate, and thicknesses of the circuit layers gradually increase in the same direction. The circuit layer arranged away from the ceramic substrate connects the connection pad and the connection segment for establishing an electrical connection therebetween.

A thin semiconductor device with enhanced edge protection, and a method of manufacturing thereof. For example and without limitation, various aspects of this disclosure provide a thin semiconductor device comprising a substrate with an edge-protection region, and a method of manufacturing thereof.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a protective structure on at least one die on a substrate. The protective structure exposes one or more electrical contacts on a first surface of the at least one die. Respective terminals are formed on the one or more electrical contacts exposed by the protective structure. Related packages and fabrication methods are also discussed.

In a described example, an apparatus includes: a semiconductor device mounted to a device side surface of a package substrate, the package substrate having a board side surface opposite the device side surface; an antenna module mounted to the package substrate and coupled to the semiconductor device; and mold compound covering the semiconductor device and a portion of the package substrate.

An electronic device includes a non-conductive die attach film on a side of a conductive lead, a semiconductor die having a first side and a lateral side, the first side on the non-conductive die attach film, and the lateral side including striations, and a package structure enclosing the semiconductor die and a portion of the conductive lead. A method includes singulating portions of a non-conductive die attach film on a carrier, attaching a backside of a wafer to the singulated portions of the non-conductive die attach film, and singulating semiconductor dies of the wafer while the backside of the wafer is attached to the singulated portions of the non-conductive die attach film.

Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes for creating packages that include one or more memory modules with electrically conductive strips on the side of the memory module to route power or provide a ground to multiple BGA contacts on a side of the memory module coupled with a substrate. Providing power and/or ground in this manner enables fewer layers to be used in a substrate that are no longer needed to be routed in the power plane on the substrate, thus reducing a Z-height of the package. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
