  • Patent number: 11069590
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wafer-level fan-out package that includes a first thinned die, a second die, a multilayer redistribution structure underneath the first thinned die and the second die, a first mold compound over the second die, a second mold compound over the multilayer redistribution structure, and around the first thinned die and the second die, and a third mold compound. The second mold compound extends beyond the first thinned die to define an opening within the second mold compound and over the first thinned die, such that a top surface of the first thinned die is at a bottom of the opening. A top surface of the first mold compound and a top surface of the second mold compound are coplanar. The third mold compound fills the opening and is in contact with the top surface of the first thinned die.

  • Patent number: 10964554
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a packaging process to enhance performance of a wafer-level package. The disclosed package includes multiple mold compounds, a multilayer redistribution structure, and a thinned die with a device layer and die bumps underneath the device layer. The multilayer redistribution structure includes package contacts at a bottom of the multilayer redistribution structure and redistribution interconnects connecting the die bumps to the package contacts. A first mold compound resides around the thinned die to encapsulate sidewalls of the thinned die, and extends beyond a top surface of the thinned die to define an opening over the thinned die. A second mold compound resides between the multilayer redistribution structure and the first mold compound to encapsulate a bottom surface of the device layer and each die bump. A third mold compound fills the opening and is in contact with the top surface of the thinned die.

  • Patent number: 10770253
    Abstract: Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switches that provide low contact resistance over a large number of open and close contact cycles are disclosed. A MEMS switch device may include a plurality of parallel MEMS switches with a first MEMS switch that is configured differently in such a manner to close first and/or open last during open and close cycles. In this regard, the first MEMS switch may experience increased contact resistance over a large number of open and close cycles while other MEMS switches maintain a low contact resistance. In certain embodiments, the first MEMS switch is controlled by a different control signal to open and close differently than the other MEMS switches. In certain embodiments, a common control signal controls a plurality of MEMS switches and the first MEMS switch is mechanically different such that it opens and closes differently than other MEMS switches.
