ISOLATING ELECTRIC PATHS IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE PACKAGES

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus for reducing power consumption or signal distortions in a semiconductor device package. The semiconductor device package includes a semiconductor device, a first electric path, a second electric path, and an isolation element in the first electric path. The second electric path is electrically connected to the first electric path and a functional unit of the device. The isolation element separates an isolated portion in the first electric path from the second electric path, where the isolation element is configured to reduce current in the isolated portion when a signal is passing through the second electric path.
