Abstract: The present disclosure relates to enhancing the thermal performance of encapsulated flip chip dies. According to an exemplary process, a plurality of flip chip dies are attached on a top surface of a carrier, and a first mold compound is applied over the top surface of the carrier to encapsulate the plurality of flip chip dies. The first mold compound is thinned down to expose a substrate of each flip chip die and the substrate of each flip chip die is then substantially etched away to provide an etched flip chip die that has an exposed surface at the bottom of a cavity. Next, a second mold compound with high thermal conductivity is applied to substantially fill each cavity and the top surface of the second mold compound is planarized. Finally, the encapsulated etched flip chip dies can be marked, singulated, and tested as a module.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor package having encapsulated dies with enhanced thermal performance. The semiconductor package includes a carrier, an etched flip chip die attached to a top surface of the carrier, a first mold compound, and a second mold compound. The etched flip chip die includes a device layer and essentially does not include a substrate. The first mold compound resides on the top surface of the carrier, surrounds the etched flip chip die, and extends beyond a top surface of the etched flip chip die to form a cavity, to which the top surface of the etched flip chip die is exposed. The second mold compound fills the cavity and is in contact with the top surface of the etched flip chip die. The second mold compound having a high thermal conductivity improves thermal performance of the etched flip chip die.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a meta-module having circuitry for two or more modules is formed on a substrate, which is preferably a laminated substrate. The circuitry for the different modules is initially formed on the single meta-module. Each module will have one or more component areas in which the circuitry is formed. A metallic structure is formed on or in the substrate for each component area to be shielded. A single body, such as an overmold body, is then formed over all of the modules on the meta-module. At least a conductive vertical interconnect access structure (vias) associated with each component area to be shielded is then exposed through the body by a cutting, drilling, or similar operation. Next, an electromagnetic shield material is applied to the exterior surface of the body of each of the component areas to be shielded and in contact with the exposed conductive vias.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards a video-based pulse/heart rate system that may use motion data to reduce or eliminate the effects of motion on pulse detection. Signal quality may be computed from (e.g., transformed) video signal data, such as by providing video signal feature data to a trained classifier that provides a measure of the quality of pulse information in each signal. Based upon the signal quality data, corresponding waveforms may be processed to select one for extracting pulse information therefrom. Heart rate data may be computed from the extracted pulse information, which may be smoothed into a heart rate value for a time window based upon confidence and/or prior heart rate data.

Abstract: Embodiments include devices and methods for manufacturing a module having a first shielded compartment and a second shielded compartment, wherein the first shielded compartment is electrically isolated from the second shielded compartment. Electrical conductivity is controlled in a manner in which current flow between shielded circuits is directed to reduce or eliminate energy from being coupled between one or more shielded compartments on the same module. Each module may have a plurality of individual shielded compartments, where each compartment has a dedicated ground plane. The shields for each compartment may be tied to the dedicated ground plane of the compartment. Because the dedicated ground planes are not tied together, each of the shielded compartments on the modules remains isolated from all the other shielded compartments on the modules. In some embodiments having a plurality of shielded compartments, there is at least one isolated shielded compartment depending upon the design needs of the module.
