  • Publication number: 20220052667
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an electronic device with a solder interconnect and multiple material encapsulant. The electronic device includes a die last assembly with the die assembled to an electronic packaging substrate by a solder interconnect. At least a portion of a first dielectric material and the die are milled or ground, with a second dielectric material applied over an exposed portion of the die. A shield is then positioned over and electrically insulated from the die. Accordingly, such a configuration reduces a thickness or height of an electronic device with shielding and a die last assembly.

  • Patent number: 11219144
    Abstract: Electromagnetic shields for sub-modules of electronic modules are disclosed. Electronic modules may include multiple sub-modules arranged on a substrate with an electromagnetic shield arranged to conformally cover the sub-modules as well as portions of the substrate that are uncovered by the sub-modules. Electromagnetic shields are disclosed that are configured to extend between sub-modules to form one or more divider walls. The one or more divider walls may be configured to extend below mounting surfaces of electronic components in the sub-modules to provide improved reduction of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or crosstalk between various sub-modules. Electromagnetic shields are also disclosed that form perimeter sidewalls that extend below mounting surfaces of electronic components of sub-modules to provide improved reduction of EMI from other modules or other external sources.

  • Patent number: 11127689
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to segmented shielding using wirebonds. In an exemplary aspect, a shield is formed from a series of wires (e.g., wirebonds) to create a wall and/or shielded compartment in an integrated circuit (IC) module. The wires can be located in any area within the IC module. The IC module may be overmolded with an insulating mold compound, and a top surface of the insulating mold can be ground or otherwise removed to expose ends of the wires to a shield layer which surrounds the insulating mold. Some examples may further laser ablate or otherwise form cavities around the ends of the wires to create stronger bonding between the wires of the shield and the shield layer.

  • Patent number: 11024541
    Abstract: A process for molding a back side wafer singulation guide is disclosed. Structures for heat mitigation include an overmold formed over a contact surface of a device layer of a wafer, covering bump structures. The overmold and bump structures are thinned and planarized, and the overmold provides an underfill to increase interconnect reliability of a semiconductor die in a flip chip bonded package. However, visibility of singulation guides on the contact surface is obstructed. A channel is formed extending through the device layer and into the handle layer, and is filled with the overmold. The handle layer is replaced with a thermally-conductive molding layer formed on the back side for dissipating heat generated by semiconductor devices. The thermally-conductive handle is thinned until the overmold in the channel beneath the device layer is exposed. The exposed overmold provides a visible back side singulation guide for singulating the wafer.

  • Publication number: 20210144853
    Abstract: Electronic substrates, contact pads for electronic substrates, and related methods are disclosed. Electronic substrates may include an electrically conductive layer that forms at least one contact pad and at least one metal trace on a non-conductive layer. The contact pads are arranged with greater thicknesses or heights above the non-conductive layer than the metal traces. Dielectric layers are disclosed that cover the metal traces while leaving top surfaces of the contact pads exposed. Top surfaces of the dielectric layers may be arranged to be coplanar with top surfaces of the contact pads to provide electronic substrates having generally planar top faces. Bottom faces of electronic substrates may include mounting pads that are coplanar with additional dielectric layers. Methods are disclosed that include forming dielectric layers to cover contact pads and metal traces, and removing surface portions of the dielectric layers until the contact pads are accessible through the dielectric layers.

  • Publication number: 20210092900
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adapting picker yield data collected by pickers (e.g., ear pickers, combines, etc.) to account for errors in calibration of the pickers. One exemplary computer-implemented method includes accessing data for a field harvested by multiple pickers, wherein the accessed data includes yield data for the field received from of the pickers, and determining a mass differential for a crop harvested by the pickers from the field. When the mass differential exceeds a threshold, the method then further includes calculating a normalization factor for at least one pair of the pickers, calculating a scaling factor associated with one of the pickers of the at least one pair of the pickers based on the normalization factor, and applying the scaling factor to the yield data received from the pickers such that the yield data is normalized.
