Integrated antenna using through silicon vias

Abstract:

Systems and methods of manufacture are disclosed for semiconductor device assemblies having a front side metallurgy portion, a substrate layer adjacent to the front side metallurgy portion, a plurality of through-silicon-vias (TSVs) in the substrate layer, metallic conductors located within at least a portion of the plurality of TSVs, and at least one conductive connection circuitry between the metallic conductors and the front side metallurgy portion. The plurality of TSVs with metallic conductors located within are configured to form an antenna structure. Selectively breakable connective circuitry is used to form and/or tune the antenna structure.
