Abstract

A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of conductive interconnects embedded in the semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure also includes a plurality of proximity communication signal input terminals. At least one of the plurality of proximity communication signal input terminals includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are spaced apart so as to be configured to provide proximity communication through capacitive coupling. The first electrode is exposed proximate to a surface of the semiconductor structure.
