Patent number: 10262915Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a thermally enhanced semiconductor package, which includes a module substrate, a thinned flip chip die over the substrate, a first mold compound component, and a thermally enhanced mold compound component. The first mold compound component resides over the module substrate, surrounds the thinned flip chip die, and extends above an upper surface of the thinned flip chip die to form a cavity over the upper surface of the thinned flip chip die. The thermally enhanced mold compound component includes a lower portion filling a lower region of the cavity and residing over the upper surface of the thinned flip chip die, and an upper portion filling an upper region of the cavity and residing over the lower portion. A first average thermal conductivity of the lower portion is at least 1.2 times greater than a second average thermal conductivity of the upper portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Qorvo US, Inc.Inventors: Julio C. Costa, George Maxim, Dirk Robert Walter Leipold, Baker Scott, Merrill Albert Hatcher, Jr., Stephen Mobley

Publication number: 20180322247Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable storage media relate to processing and analyzing a sample to determine presence or concentration of at least one sensor target in a sample. A method of quantifying a sample using a sensor may include obtaining sensor data, the sensor data including in-situ calibration data from a housekeeping protein; analyzing the sensor data; and outputting results of the analyzing. The method may be used with a system that includes a sensing device and a module. The system may also include an analysis device that can be in communication with the sensing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2018Publication date: November 8, 2018Inventors: Paul W. Doetsch, Dong Moon Shin, Carlos Sanchez Moreno, William D. Hunt, Georgia Zhuo Chen, Sunil Yalamanchili, Stephen Mobley
