Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an active device. The semiconductor device further includes a plurality of antenna grounds electrically connected to the active device. The semiconductor device further includes a plurality of patch antennas, wherein each patch antenna of the plurality of patch antennas is over a corresponding antenna ground of the plurality of antenna grounds. The semiconductor device further includes a plurality of reflectors, wherein each antenna ground of the plurality of antenna ground is between a corresponding patch antenna of the plurality of patch antennas and a corresponding reflector of the plurality of reflectors. An area of each antenna ground of the plurality of antenna grounds is greater than an area of each reflector of the plurality of reflectors.
