US Patent 11837560 Semiconductor device with waveguide and method therefor

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming an assembly including placing a semiconductor die and a launcher structure on a carrier substrate, encapsulating at least a portion of the semiconductor die and the launcher structure, and applying a redistribution layer on a surface of the semiconductor die and a surface of the launcher structure to connect a bond pad of the semiconductor die with an antenna launcher of the launcher structure. The assembly is attached to a substrate and a waveguide overlapping the assembly is attached to the substrate. The waveguide structure is physically decoupled from the assembly.
