    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include autonomous vehicles and mm-wave systems for communication between components. In an embodiment the vehicle includes an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU may include a printed circuit board (PCB) and a CPU die packaged on a CPU packaging substrate. In an embodiment, the CPU packaging substrate is electrically coupled to the PCB. The ECU may also include an external predefined interface electrically coupled to the CPU die. In an embodiment, an active mm-wave interconnect may include a dielectric waveguide, and a first connector coupled to a first end of the dielectric waveguide. In an embodiment, the first connector comprises a first mm-wave engine, and the first connector is electrically coupled to the external predefined interface. Embodiments may also include a second connector coupled to a second end of the dielectric waveguide, wherein the second connector comprises a second mm-wave engine.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, disclosed herein are systems and methods directed to the fabrication of a coreless semiconductor package (e.g., a millimeter (mm)-wave antenna package) having an asymmetric build-up layer count that can be fabricated on both sides of a temporary substrate (e.g., a core). The asymmetric build-up layer count can reduce the overall layer count in the fabrication of the semiconductor package and can therefore contribute to fabrication cost reduction. In further embodiments, the semiconductor package (e.g., a millimeter (mm)-wave antenna packages) can further comprise dummification elements disposed near one or more antenna layers. Further, the dummification elements disposed near one or more antenna layers can reduce image current and thereby increasing the antenna gain and efficiency.
