Abstract:
In embodiments, a package assembly may include an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) having an active side and an inactive side. In embodiments, the MEMS may be coupled directly to the ASIC by way of one or more interconnects. The MEMS, ASIC, and one or more interconnects may define or form a cavity such that the active portion of the MEMS is within the cavity. In some embodiments, the package assembly may include a plurality of MEMS coupled directly to the ASIC by way of a plurality of one or more interconnects. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract:
Stress buffer layers for integrated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are described. For example, a semiconductor package includes a substrate having first and second surfaces, the second surface having an array of external conductive contacts. A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) component is disposed above the first surface of the substrate. A buffer layer is disposed above the MEMS component, the buffer layer having a first Young's modulus. A mold compound is disposed above the buffer layer, the mold compound having a second Young's modulus higher than the first Young's modulus.

Abstract:
Semiconductor packages and methods, systems, and apparatuses of forming such packages are described. A method of forming a semiconductor package may include encapsulating a semiconductor die with a molding compound, applying a seed layer on the die and the molding compound, applying a resist layer on the seed layer, exposing a first portion of the resist layer, and exposing a second portion of the resist layer. The first portion can include a first area of the resist layer to be used for forming a redistribution layer (RDL) without including a second area of the resist layer to be used for forming an electrical communications pathway between at least one of the contact pads and the RDL. The second portion can include the second area of the resist layer that includes the electrical communications pathway.
