Abstract:
1. An IC (integrated circuit) package device, comprising: a package substrate having a ground plane formed on a surface thereof; an IC chip bonded to the surface of the package substrate; a planar substrate comprising an antenna pattern formed on a first surface of the planar substrate, wherein the planar substrate is flip-chip bonded to the IC chip such that the antenna pattern faces toward the ground plane of the package substrate and the first surface of the planar substrate is disposed substantially parallel to, and displaced from, the ground plane of the package substrate; and a package cover formed over the package base substrate to encapsulate the IC chip and planar substrate, wherein the package cover comprises an opening that exposes a portion of a second surface of the planar substrate opposite a portion of the first surface of the planar substrate having the antenna pattern.
