Abstract

Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods that include a communication cavity. According to an example a device can include substrate with a first cavity formed therein, first and second antennas exposed in and enclosed by the cavity, and an interconnect structure formed in the substrate, the interconnect structure including alternating conductive material layers and inter-layer dielectric layers.

Claims (32)

1. A device comprising:

a substrate with first interconnect routing therein;

an interconnect structure embedded in the substrate, the interconnect structure including second interconnect routing therein and the interconnect structure including a cavity therein;

a first antenna and a second antenna exposed in the cavity; and

a first die and a second die, the first and second dies electrically connected to the first interconnect routing and electrically connected to each other through the second interconnect routing, the first die communicatively coupled to the second die through the first and second antennas, the first die electrically connected to the first antenna and the second die electrically connected to the second antenna.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second antennas are shielded from electromagnetic radiation external of the cavity by a conductive material coating the cavity.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second antennas are exposed to air in the cavity and the first antenna is to convey an RF signal through the air in the cavity to the second antenna.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the cavity is above the second interconnect routing.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the cavity is alongside the second interconnect routing.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the cavity is below the second interconnect routing.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the interconnect structure further comprises a glass or silicon cover forming at least a portion of the cavity.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the cover is over the first and second antennas.

9. A device comprising:

a substrate with first interconnect routing therein;

an interconnect structure embedded in the substrate, the interconnect structure including second interconnect routing therein and the interconnect structure including a cavity therein;

a first antenna and a second antenna exposed to an interior space of the cavity;

a cover forming at least a portion of the cavity; and

a first die and a second die, the first and second dies electrically connected to the first interconnect routing and electrically connected to each other through the second interconnect routing, the first die communicatively coupled to the second die through the first and second antennas, the first die electrically connected to the first antenna and the second die electrically connected to the second antenna.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the cover comprises glass or silicon.

11. The device of claim 9 , wherein the first and second antennas are exposed to air in the cavity.

12. The device of claim 9 , wherein the first and second antennas are shielded from electromagnetic radiation external of the cavity by a conductive material coating the cavity.

13. The device of claim 9 , wherein the cover is over the first and second antennas.

14. A device comprising:

a substrate with first interconnect routing therein;

an interconnect structure embedded in the substrate, the interconnect structure including second interconnect routing therein and the interconnect structure including a cavity therein, the cavity above interconnects of the second interconnect routing;

a first antenna and a second antenna exposed in the cavity; and

a first die and a second die, the first and second dies electrically connected to the first interconnect routing and electrically connected to each other through the second interconnect routing, the first die communicatively coupled to the second die through the first and second antennas, the first die electrically connected to the first antenna and the second die electrically connected to the second antenna.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the first and second antennas are exposed to air in the cavity and the first antenna is to convey an RF signal through the air in the cavity to the second antenna.

16. The device of claim 14 , wherein the first and second antennas are shielded from electromagnetic radiation external of the cavity by a conductive material coating the cavity.

17. The device of claim 14 , further comprising a cover forming at least a portion of the cavity.

18. The device of claim 17 , wherein the cover comprises glass or silicon.

19. The device of claim 17 , wherein the cover is over the first and second antennas.
