    Abstract: Present disclosure relates to IC devices with thermal mitigation structures in the form of metal structures provided in a semiconductor material of a substrate on which active electronic devices are integrated (i.e., front-end metal structures). In one aspect, an IC device includes a substrate having a first face and a second face, where at least one active electronic device is integrated at the first face of the substrate. The IC device further includes at least one front-end metal structure that extends from the first face of the substrate into the substrate to a depth that is smaller than a distance between the first face and the second face. Providing front-end metal structures may enable improved cooling options because such structures may be placed in closer vicinity to the active electronic devices, compared to conventional thermal mitigation approaches.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provide to form one or more pads on at least one surface associated with a portion of a component, for example, a component associated with a surface-mounted device (SMD). Further, the systems and methods are directed to providing metal (for example, copper, Cu) layers on the surface of one or more terminations (for example, solder termination pads) of an electrical component. In one embodiment, the metal layers include metal termination pads that are fabricated on a carrier layer; components can be soldered to these termination pads, then the components with the metal pads can be debonded from the carrier layer. As such, the solder terminations of the components can be covered by the metal pads.The disclosed systems and methods can permit or otherwise facilitate a wider selection and easy availability of the components to be electrically and/or mechanically connected to semiconductor packages.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a cooler for semiconductor devices. The semiconductor device may be electrically coupleable to a power source. The device may generate heat when the power source supplies power to the device during use of the device. The cooler may be coupled to one or more surfaces of the device. The cooler may include a hydrophilic material to adsorb water from ambient air. During operation of the device, the cooler may cool the device by conduction of heat away from the device to the cooler. The cooler may include water that is evaporated during use of the device to increase cooling capacity of the cooler. The cooler may be recharged with water from humidity in air when the device is not operated or operated at a lower power level. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
