Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a cooler for semiconductor devices. The semiconductor device may be electrically coupleable to a power source. The device may generate heat when the power source supplies power to the device during use of the device. The cooler may be coupled to one or more surfaces of the device. The cooler may include a hydrophilic material to adsorb water from ambient air. During operation of the device, the cooler may cool the device by conduction of heat away from the device to the cooler. The cooler may include water that is evaporated during use of the device to increase cooling capacity of the cooler. The cooler may be recharged with water from humidity in air when the device is not operated or operated at a lower power level. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes embodiments of a stacked semiconductor device package and associated techniques and configurations. A package may include a packaging substrate having interconnects and a first semiconductor device attached to one side and a second semiconductor device attached to the opposite side. The devices may be attached in a flip chip configuration with pad sides facing each other on opposite sides of the substrate. The devices may be electrically coupled by the interconnects. The devices may be electrically coupled to fan out pads on the substrate. A dielectric layer may be coupled to the second side of the substrate and encapsulate the second device. Vias may route electrical signals from the fan out area through the dielectric layer and into a redistribution layer coupled to the dielectric layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

In one embodiment, a package assembly includes a die at least partially embedded in a mold compound; and a through mold via (TMV). The TMV may have vertical sides or may include two different portions with varying shapes. In some instances, prefabricated via bars may be used during fabrication. Package assemblies of the present disclosure may include package-on-package (POP) interconnects having a pitch of less than 0.3 mm. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: An interconnect adaptor may be fabricated having a substantially planar surface, to which a microelectronic package may be electrically attached, and a non-planar surface with at least one interconnect extending from the interconnect adaptor planar surface to the interconnect adaptor non-planar surface. The interconnect adaptor non-planar surface may be shaped to substantially conform to a shape of a microelectronic substrate to which it may be attached, which eliminates the need to bend or otherwise adapt the microelectronic package to conform to the microelectronic substrate.
