Abstract: An electronic device includes a substrate, and the substrate may include one or more layers. The one or more layers may include a dielectric material and may include one or more electrical traces. The electronic device may include a layer of conductive material, and the layer of conductive material may define a void in the conductive material. The electronic device may include a fiducial mark, and the fiducial mark may include a filler material positioned in the void defined by the conductive material. The fiducial mark may be coupled to the layer of conductive material. The filler material may have a lower reflectivity in comparison to the conductive material, for instance to provide a contrast with the conductive material.

Abstract: Microelectronic devices including an embedded die substrate including a molded component formed on or over a surface of a laminated substrate that provides a planar outer surface independent of the contour of the adjacent laminated. substrate surface. The molded component may be formed over at least a portion of the embedded die. In other examples, the molded component and resulting planar outer surface may alternatively be on the backside of the substrate, away from the embedded die. The molded component may include an epoxy mold compound; and may be formed through processes including compression molding and transfer molding.

Abstract: A die placement and coupling apparatus may include a die bonding attachment. The die placement and coupling apparatus may include a compliant head unit that may be adapted to optionally couple with a semiconductor die. The compliant head unit may include a die attach surface that may include a layer of compliant material. The layer of compliant material may be coupled to the compliant head unit. The die attach surface may be adapted to mate with the semiconductor die when the semiconductor die is coupled with the compliant head unit. The layer of compliant material may be adapted to yield in response to an applied force. The die placement and coupling apparatus may include a vacuum port in communication with the die attach surface. The port may be adapted to have a vacuum applied to the port, and the vacuum temporarily holds the semiconductor die to the die attach surface.
