  • Patent number: 11984516
    Abstract: A sensor package structure includes a substrate, a sensor chip and a ring-shaped solder mask frame those are disposed on the substrate, a ring-shaped support disposed on a top side of the annular solder mask frame, and a light permeable member that is disposed on the ring-shaped support. The sensor chip is electrically coupled to the substrate. A top surface of the sensor chip has a sensing region, and the sensing region is spaced apart from an outer lateral side of the sensor chip by a distance less than 300 ?m. The ring-shaped solder mask frame surrounds and contacts the outer lateral side of the sensor chip. The light permeable member, the ring-shaped support, and the sensor chip jointly define an enclosed space.

  • Publication number: 20240087896
    Abstract: Methods of forming line-end extensions and devices having line-end extensions are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes forming a patterned photoresist on a first region of a hard mask layer. A line-end extension region is formed in the hard mask layer. The line-end extension region extends laterally outward from an end of the first region of the hard mask layer. The line-end extension region may be formed by changing a physical property of the hard mask layer at the line-end extension region.

  • Publication number: 20240071854
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein a provide a multi-die package and methods of formation. The multi-die package includes a dynamic random access memory integrated circuit die over a system-on-chip integrated circuit die, and a heat transfer component between the system-on-chip integrated circuit die and the dynamic random access memory integrated circuit die. The heat transfer component, which may correspond to a dome-shaped structure, may be on a surface of the system-on-chip integrated circuit die and enveloped by an underfill material between the system-on-chip integrated circuit die and the dynamic random access memory integrated circuit die. The heat transfer component, in combination with the underfill material, may be a portion of a thermal circuit having one or more thermal conductivity properties to quickly spread and transfer heat within the multi-die package so that a temperature of the system-on-chip integrated circuit die satisfies a threshold.
