  • Patent number: 10062637
    Abstract: A method of manufacture for a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes providing a semiconductor stack structure that includes a device terminal of a semiconductor device, and having a first surface and a buried oxide (BOX) layer attached to a wafer handle. Another step includes disposing a polymeric layer that includes a polymer and an admixture that increases thermal conductivity of the polymer onto the first surface of the semiconductor stack structure. Another step involves removing the wafer handle from the BOX layer to expose a second surface of the semiconductor stack structure, and yet another step involves removing a portion of the semiconductor stack structure to expose the device terminal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9583414
    Abstract: A semiconductor device that does not produce nonlinearities attributed to a high resistivity silicon handle interfaced with a dielectric region of a buried oxide (BOX) layer is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor stack structure with a first surface and a second surface wherein the second surface is on an opposite side of the semiconductor stack structure from the first surface. At least one device terminal is included in the semiconductor stack structure and at least one electrical contact extends from the second surface and is electrically coupled to the at least one device terminal. The semiconductor stack is protected by a polymer disposed on the first surface of the semiconductor stack. The polymer has high thermal conductivity and high electrical resistivity.
