Abstract
An encapsulated integrated circuit is provided that includes an integrated circuit (IC) die. A phonon device is fabricated on the IC die that is configured to emit or to receive phonons that have a range of ultrasonic frequencies. An encapsulation material encapsulates the IC die. A phononic bandgap structure is included within the encapsulation material that is configured to have a phononic bandgap with a frequency range that includes at least a portion of the range of ultrasonic frequencies. A phononic channel is located in the phononic bandgap structure between the phonon device and a surface of the encapsulated IC.
