  • Publication number: 20170162524
    Abstract: A method includes forming a first metal plate, forming a metal ring aligned to peripheral regions of the first metal plate, and placing a device die level with the metal ring, encapsulating the device die and the metal ring in an encapsulating material. The method further includes filling a dielectric material into a space encircled by the metal ring, and forming a second metal plate covering the dielectric material and the metal ring, with an opening formed in the second metal plate. A plurality of redistribution lines is formed, with one of the redistribution lines overlapping a portion of the opening. The first metal plate, the metal ring, the second metal plate, and the dielectric material in combination form an antenna or a waveguide. The redistribution line forms a signal-coupling line of the passive device.

  • Publication number: 20160254224
    Abstract: An inductor includes a plurality of first conductive lines, a plurality of second conductive lines and a plurality of contacts. Each of the first conductive lines is spaced apart from one another. Each of the second conductive lines is spaced apart from one another, and each of the second conductive lines crosses over each of the first conductive lines. Each of the contacts electrically interconnects one of the first conductive lines and one of the second conductive lines. These contacts are arranged in a way such that at least parts of the first conductive lines and at least parts of the second conductive lines form an electric current path serving as an inductor.

  • Patent number: 9391350
    Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and systems for selectively filtering RF signals within one or more RF frequency band are provided. In particular, an RF choke, such as a 3D RF choke or a semi-lumped RF choke, configured to selectively filter such RF signals is provided. The RF choke comprises a metal connection line configured as an inductive element for the RF choke. In an example, one or more metal lines, such as a metal open stub, are formed as capacitive elements for the RF choke. In another example, one or more through vias are formed as capacitive elements for the RF choke. In this way, the RF choke allows DC power signals to pass through the metal connection line, while impeding RF signals within the one or more RF frequency bands from passing through the metal connection line.

  • Publication number: 20160126188
    Abstract: One or more techniques for forming a semiconductor arrangement and resulting structures formed thereby are provided herein. The semiconductor arrangement includes a power divider comprising a transmission line and a resistor, where the transmission line is over and connected to an active area input, a first active area output and a second active area output. The semiconductor arrangement has a smaller chip size than a semiconductor arrangement where the transmission line is not over the active area input, the first active area output and the second active area output. The smaller chip size is due to the active area input, the first active area output and the second active area output being formed closer to one another than would be possible in a semiconductor arrangement where the transmission line is formed between at least one of the active area input, the first active area output or the second active area output.
