The wire bond structure includes a bond interface portion. The wire bond structure is arranged next to the first semiconductor die. The first semiconductor die and the bond interface portion of the wire bond structure are arranged at the same side of the semiconductor device. An interface contact structure of the semiconductor device is electrically connected to the wire bond structure.

  • Patent number: 11456116
    Abstract: A recess in a die backside surface occupies a footprint that accommodates an inductor coil that is formed in metallization above an active surface of the die. Less semiconductive material is therefore close to the inductor coil. A ferromagnetic material is formed in the recess, or a ferromagnetic material is formed on a dielectric layer above the inductor coil. The recess may extend across a die that allows the die to be deflected at the recess.

  • Patent number: 11410908
    Abstract: Present disclosure relates to IC devices with thermal mitigation structures in the form of metal structures provided in a semiconductor material of a substrate on which active electronic devices are integrated (i.e., front-end metal structures). In one aspect, an IC device includes a substrate having a first face and a second face, where at least one active electronic device is integrated at the first face of the substrate. The IC device further includes at least one front-end metal structure that extends from the first face of the substrate into the substrate to a depth that is smaller than a distance between the first face and the second face. Providing front-end metal structures may enable improved cooling options because such structures may be placed in closer vicinity to the active electronic devices, compared to conventional thermal mitigation approaches.

  • Patent number: 11018114
    Abstract: A semiconductive device stack, includes a baseband processor die with an active surface and a backside surface, and a recess in the backside surface. A recess-seated device is disposed in the recess, and a through-silicon via in the baseband processor die couples the baseband processor die at the active surface to the recess-seated die at the recess. A processor die is disposed on the baseband processor die backside surface, and a memory die is disposed on the processor die. The several dice are coupled by through-silicon via groups.
