Abstract: A semiconductor system or sensor system in a housing which is butt-joined to a printed circuit board by soldering, at least some of the connecting surfaces not being soldered over their entire area, the connecting surfaces which are not soldered over their entire area being fixedly soldered in a first surface region to a section of a printed conductor, and in a second surface region the connecting surfaces not being fixedly connected to the printed circuit board, the securely soldered surface regions being situated closer to the semiconductor or sensor structure to be contacted than are the surface regions which are not fixedly connected to the printed circuit board.

Abstract: A method for producing a pressure sensor, in which a semiconductor pressure pick-up is mounted on a mounting section of a lead grid, in particular a leadframe. The semiconductor pressure pick-up is electrically connected to contact sections of the lead grid. The lead grid, together with the semiconductor pressure pick-up, is inserted into an injection molding die. A die part is brought into contact at the side of the semiconductor pressure pick-up facing away from the mounting section or at side of the mounting section facing away from the semiconductor pressure pick-up. The semiconductor pressure pick-up in the injection molding die is subsequently enclosed by a housing made of mold compound. In order to prevent the mounting section from giving way, it is proposed to clamp the mounting section of the lead grid in the injection molding die when producing the housing.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a pressure sensor, in which a semiconductor pressure sensing element is applied to an assembly segment of a lead grid, the semiconductor pressure sensing element is electrically connected to contact segments of the lead grid. The lead grid having the semiconductor pressure sensing element is inserted into an injection molding die, and then the semiconductor pressure sensing element, in the injection molding die, is surrounded by a housing made of injection molding compound. A structure is present in the injection molding die through which a pressure feed for the semiconductor pressure sensing element is left free from the jacket of injection molding compound. A stamp is arranged in the injection molding die so as to be separated by a gap from the side of the assembly segment that is facing away from the semiconductor pressure sensing element or from the side of the semiconductor pressure sensing element that is facing away from the assembly segment.

Abstract: A standard lead frame has a carrier pierced to produce an opening sufficiently large to make room therein for the mounting of a semiconductor circuit chip. A heat sink for the semiconductor circuit chip is fastened into position in or just below the opening. The semiconductor circuit chip is then affixed directly to the heat sink. After wires have been bonded to connect contact areas of the chip to the conducting paths on the lead frame the unit is encapsulated in such a fashion that a major surface of the heat sink protrudes from the encapsulation. A standard lead frame may be used as the carrier.

A heat sink for the semiconductor circuit chip is fastened into position in or just below the opening. The semiconductor circuit chip is then affixed directly to the heat sink. After wires have been bonded to connect contact areas of the chip to respective parts of the lead frame the unit is encapsulate such a fashion that a major surface of the heat sink protrudes from the encapsulation.
