Abstract
A transmitter component includes an input terminal and a first semiconductor portion with doped regions of a control-side interface circuit. The control-side interface circuit converts a digital input signal received at the input terminal into a transmit radio frequency signal. A control-side metallization structure on at least one of two horizontal main surfaces of the first semiconductor portion includes at least a portion of a control-side antenna structure that emits the transmit radio frequency signal as radio wave. A transceiver circuit may include the transmitter component and a receiver component.
Claims15
A transmitter component, comprising:
- an input terminal;
- a first semiconductor portion comprising doped regions of a control-side interface circuit, wherein the control-side interface circuit is configured to convert a digital input signal received at the input terminal into a transmit radio frequency signal;
- and
- a control-side metallization structure formed on at least one of two horizontal main surfaces of the first semiconductor portion, wherein the control-side metallization structure comprises at least a portion of a control-side antenna structure configured to emit the transmit radio frequency signal as radio wave.
A receiver component, comprising:
- an output terminal;
- a second semiconductor portion comprising doped regions of a driver-side interface circuit, wherein the driver-side interface circuit is configured to convert a receive radio frequency signal into a driver signal output at the output terminal;
- and
- a driver-side metallization structure formed on at least one of two horizontal main surfaces of the second semiconductor portion, wherein the driver-side metallization structure comprises at least a portion of a driver-side antenna structure configured to obtain the receive radio frequency signal from a radio wave.
