Abstract: A packaged electronic system having a support formed by an insulating organic substrate housing a buried conductive region that is floating. A first die is fixed to the support and carries, on a first main surface, a first die contact region capacitively coupled to a first portion of the buried conductive region. A second die is fixed to the support and carries, on a first main surface, a second die contact region capacitively coupled to a second portion of the buried conductive region. A packaging mass encloses the first die, the second die, the first die contact region, the second die contact region, and, at least partially, the support.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a semiconductor package including a substrate having a lower surface with a plurality of slot structures. The plurality of slot structures are multi-layer structures that encourage the formation of solder joints. The semiconductor package is desirable for high reliability applications in which each solder joint termination should be checked by visual systems to ensure a proper electrical connection has been made.

Abstract: An electronic module includes a first die of semiconductor material including a first reflector, a second die of semiconductor material including a second reflector, and a frame including a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion parallel to one another. The first and second dies are carried, respectively, by the first and second supporting portions and are respectively arranged so that the first reflector faces the second supporting portion and the second reflector faces the first supporting portion. An incoming light beam impinges upon the first reflector and is reflected on the second reflector so as to be supplied at output from the electronic module.
