Abstract
Disclosed herein are IC devices, packages, and device assemblies that include diodes arranged so that their first and second terminals may be contacted from the opposite faces of a support structure. Such diodes are referred to herein as 'vertical diodes' to reflect the fact that the diode extends, in a vertical direction (i.e., in a direction perpendicular to the support structure), between the bottom and the top of support structures. Vertical diodes as described herein may introduce additional degrees of freedom in diode choices in terms of, e.g., high-voltage handling, capacitance modulation, and speed.
