Abstract: A semiconductor device package includes a heatsink platform, with a ceramic isolation layer bonded to the heatsink platform. A semiconductor die may be disposed on the ceramic isolation layer, with mold material disposed on the ceramic isolation layer and surrounding at least a portion of the semiconductor die. A redistribution layer may be disposed on the semiconductor die and the mold material. Such packages, and similar, enable the use of a thin, inexpensive device substrate, while providing an efficient thermal path to the heatsink platform, while the redistribution layer enables electrical connections that are short, low-resistance, low-inductance, and low-loss connections.

Abstract: Techniques for establishing a establishing of a high-bandwidth data connection with an aircraft using highly directional EM beam shaped transmissions are provided. In one example, a method comprises: determining a first line of sight that is unobstructed to an antenna of an aircraft, establishing a wireless data connection having a defined data transfer rate between the aircraft and the communication device using highly directional EM beam shaped transmissions along the unobstructed line of sight, transferring a defined amount of data between the aircraft and the communication device using the wireless data connection.
