Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an air-cavity module having a thinned semiconductor die and a mold compound. The thinned semiconductor die includes a back-end-of-line (BEOL) layer, an epitaxial layer over the BEOL layer, and a buried oxide (BOX) layer with discrete holes over the epitaxial layer. The epitaxial layer includes an air-cavity, a first device section, and a second device section. Herein, the air-cavity is in between the first device section and the second device section and directly in connection with each discrete hole in the BOX layer. The mold compound resides directly over at least a portion of the BOX layer, within which the discrete holes are located. The mold compound does not enter into the air-cavity through the discrete holes.

Claim (Index 21):
An apparatus comprising:\n a thinned semiconductor die comprising:\n a BEOL layer having an upper surface that includes a first surface portion and a second surface portion surrounding the first surface portion; \n an epitaxial layer residing over the upper surface of the BEOL layer and comprising air-cavities, support structures, a first device section, and a second device section, wherein:\n the air-cavities and the support structures are over the first surface portion and not over the second surface portion; \n the first device section and the second device section are over the second surface portion and not over the first surface portion; \n the air-cavities are in between the first device section and the second device section; and \n the air-cavities are separated from each other by the support structures; and \n \n a BOX layer having a plurality of discrete holes and residing over the epitaxial layer, wherein:\n the plurality of discrete holes are over the first surface portion and not over the second surface portion; \n each air-cavity is directly in connection with at least one of the plurality of discrete holes; and \n the support structures provide mechanical support to a first portion of the BOX layer, within which the plurality of discrete holes are located; and \n \n a first mold compound directly over at least the first portion of the BOX layer, wherein the first mold compound does not enter into the air-cavity of the epitaxial layer through the plurality of discrete holes within the BOX layer.
