Abstract: An electronic device, such as a smart watch, incorporating a fluid-based pressure-sensing device is disclosed. The fluid-based pressure-sensing device includes an enclosure, a pressure sensor, a diaphragm and a sensing medium. The enclosure includes an opening and the pressure sensor is disposed inside the enclosure. The diaphragm hermetically seals the opening, and the sensing medium transfers a pressure exerted on the diaphragm to the pressure sensor. The sensing medium can be liquid oil filling a space of the enclosure, and the diaphragm is a polymer material. The pressure-sensing device may sense an environmental pressure, which may be used by the electronic device to modify its operations, change information that is displayed, and so on.

Abstract: Electronic package structures and systems are described in which a 3D interconnect structure is integrated into a package redistribution layer and/or chiplet for power and signal delivery to a die. Such structures may significantly improve input output (IO) density and routing quality for signals, while keeping power delivery feasible.

Abstract: Power management systems are described. In an embodiment, a power management system includes a voltage source, a circuit load located within a chip, and a switched capacitor voltage regulator (SCVR) coupled to voltage source and the circuit load to receive an input voltage from the voltage source and supply an output voltage to the circuit load. The SCVR may include circuitry located within the chip and a discrete integrated passive device (IPD) connected to the chip.

Abstract: Reconstructed 3DIC structures and methods of manufacture are described. In an embodiment, one or more dies in each package level of a 3DIC are both functional chips and/or stitching devices for two or more dies in an adjacent package level. Thus, each die can function as a communication bridge between two other dies/chiplets in addition to performing a separate chip core function.

Abstract: Double side mounted package structures and memory modules incorporating such double side mounted package structures are described in which memory packages are mounted on both sides of a module substrate. A routing substrate is mounted to a bottom side of the module substrate to provide general purpose in/out routing and power routing, while signal routing from the logic die to double side mounted memory packages is provided in the module routing. In an embodiment, module substrate is a coreless module substrate and may be thinner than the routing substrate.
