A semiconductor module includes: a switching device including a gate pad; an output unit including an output pad connected with the gate pad of the switching device through a wire and outputting a drive signal from the output pad to the switching device; a temperature protection circuit detecting temperature and performing protection operation; and a heat conduction pattern connected with the output pad, extending from the output pad toward the temperature protection circuit, and conducting heat generated at the switching device to the temperature protection circuit.

Technologies for radiofrequency optimized interconnects for a quantum processor are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, signals are carried in coplanar waveguides on a surface of a quantum processor die. A ground ring surrounds the signals and is connected to the ground conductors of each coplanar waveguide. Wire bonds connect the ground ring to a ground of a circuit board. The wire bonds provide both an electrical connection from the quantum processor die to the circuit board as well as increased thermal coupling between the quantum processor die and the circuit board, increasing cooling of the quantum processor die.

An integrated circuit package with improved reliability and methods for creating the same are disclosed. More specifically, integrated circuit packages are created using one or more sacrificial layers that provide support for ink printed wires prior to package processing, but are removed during package processing. Once each of the sacrificial layers is removed, molding compound is placed around each ink printed wire, which may have a substantially rectangular cross section that can vary in dimension along a length of a given wire. While substantially surrounding each wire in and of itself improves reliability, removing non-conductive paste, fillets, or other adhesive materials also minimizes adhesion issues between the molding compound and those materials, which increases the bond of the molding compound to the package and its components. The net result is a more reliable integrated circuit package that is less susceptible to internal cracking and wire damage.
