Patent ID: 11128268

Abstract:
Power amplifier (PA) packages containing peripherally-encapsulated dies are provided, as are methods for fabricating such PA packages. In embodiments, a method for fabricating a PA package includes obtaining a die-substrate assembly containing a radio frequency (RF) power die, a package substrate, and a die bond layer. The die bond layer is composed of at least one metallic constituent and electrically couples a backside of the RF power die to the package substrate. A peripheral encapsulant body is formed around the RF power die and covers at least a portion of the die bond layer, while leaving at least a majority of a frontside of the RF power die uncovered. Before or after forming the peripheral encapsulant body, terminals of the PA package are interconnected with the RF power die; and a cover piece is bonded to the die-substrate assembly to enclose a gas-containing cavity within the PA package.
