    Abstract: Various embodiments process semiconductor devices. In one embodiment, a release layer is applied to a handler. The release layer comprises at least one additive that adjusts a frequency of electro-magnetic radiation absorption property of the release layer. The additive comprises, for example, a 355 nm chemical absorber and/or chemical absorber for one of more wavelengths in a range comprising 600 nm to 740 nm. The at least one singulated semiconductor device is bonded to the handler. The at least one singulated semiconductor device is packaged while it is bonded to the handler. The release layer is ablated by irradiating the release layer through the handler with a laser. The at least one singulated semiconductor device is removed from the transparent handler after the release layer has been ablated.

    Abstract: Microbatteries and methods for forming microbatteries are provided. The microbatteries and methods address at least one or both of edge sealing issues for edges of a stack forming part of a microbatteries and overall sealing for individual cells for microbatteries in a batch process. A transferable solder molding apparatus and sealing structure are proposed in an example to provide a metal casing for a solid-state thin-film microbattery. An exemplary proposed process involves deposition or pre-forming low-temperature solder casing separately from the microbatteries. Then a thermal compression may be used to transfer the solder casing to each battery cell, with a handler apparatus in a batch process in an example. These exemplary embodiments can address the temperature tolerance constrain for solid state thin film battery during handling, metal sealing, and packaging.

    Abstract: A package structure includes a package substrate (130) having an integrated waveguide, and first and second integrated circuit chips (110,120) mounted to the package substrate (130). The first integrated circuit chip (110) is coupled to the integrated waveguide (132) using a first transmission line (116) to waveguide transition, and the second integrated circuit chip (120) is coupled to the integrated waveguide (132) using a second transmission line (126) to waveguide transition. The first and second integrated circuit chips (110,120) are configured to communicate by transmitting signals using the integrated waveguide (132) within the package carrier. The package structure enables high data rate communication between package components.

    Abstract: Various embodiments process semiconductor devices (202, 302). In one embodiment, a release layer (210) is applied to a handler (204). The release layer (210) comprises at least one additive that adjusts a frequency of electro-magnetic radiation absorption property of the release layer (210). The additive comprises, for example, a 355nm chemical absorber and/or chemical absorber for one of more wavelengths in a range comprising 600nm to 740nm. The at least one singulated semiconductor device (202) is bonded to the handler (204). The at least one singulated semiconductor device (202) is packaged while it is bonded to the handler (204). The release layer (210) is ablated by irradiating the release layer (210) through the handler (204) with a laser (214). The the at least one singulated semiconductor device (202) is removed from the transparent handler (204) after the release layer (210) has been ablated.

    Abstract: A microbattery includes a first micro-battery device including a substrate 102 having a metal anode via 104 and a metal cathode via 104. A battery element 112 formed on the substrate includes a cathode current collector 114 electrically connected to a cathode through the metal cathode via and an anode current collector 106 electrically connected to an anode 110 through the metal anode via. A metal sealing layer 124 is formed on at least sidewall surfaces of the battery element and is electrically connected to the cathode. A method of forming a microbattery device involves forming a metal anode via and a metal cathode via in a substrate, forming a metal layer 108 on a bottom side of the substrate, forming a battery element on a top side of the substrate, forming an encapsulation layer 116 around the battery element, forming trenches (150, Figure 1F) through the encapsulation layer and the substrate on different sides of the battery element, and forming a metal sealing layer in the trenches to cover at least sidewall surfaces of the battery element. The metal sealing layer is electrically connected to the battery element through the metal layer and the metal cathode via.
