  • Patent number: 10347562
    Abstract: A package includes a substrate having an electronic component flip chip mounted thereto by flip chip bumps. The electronic component includes an active surface and an inactive surface. Electrically conductive columns (TSV) extend through the electronic component between the active surface and the inactive surface. A RDL structure is coupled to the inactive surface, the RDL structure redistributing the pattern of the electrically conductive columns at the inactive surface to a pattern of inactive surface RDL lands. The inactive surface RDL lands are exposed through via apertures of a package body. By using the inactive surface of the electronic component to distribute the inactive surface RDL lands, the allowable size of the electronic component is maximized.

  • Patent number: 10327076
    Abstract: A top port MEMS microphone package includes a substrate having a back volume expanding aperture therein. A MEMS microphone electronic component is mounted to the substrate directly above the back volume expanding aperture such that an aperture of the MEMS microphone electronic component is in fluid communication with the back volume expanding aperture. A lid having a lid cavity is mounted to the substrate. The back volume expanding aperture couples the aperture of the MEMS microphone electronic component to the lid cavity. By coupling the lid cavity to the aperture with the back volume expanding aperture, the resulting back volume is essentially the size of the entire top port MEMS microphone package. In this manner, the noise to signal ratio is minimized thus maximizing the sensitivity of the top port MEMS microphone package as well as the range of applications.
