Patent number: 9159652Abstract: An electronic device is described comprising at least one chip enclosed in a package, in turn provided with a metallic structure or leadframe having a plurality of connection pins, this chip having at least one first contact realized on a first face and at least one second contact realized on a second and opposite face of this chip. The chip comprises at least one through via crossing the whole section of the chip as well as a metallic layer extending from the second contact arranged on the first face, along walls of the at least one through via up to the second and opposite face in correspondence with an additional pad. The electronic device comprises at least one interconnection layer for the electrical and mechanical connection between the chip and the metallic structure having at least one portion realized in correspondence with the at least one through via so as to bring the second contact placed on the second face of the chip back on its first face.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2014Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.r.l.Inventor: Concetto Privitera

Patent number: 9105598Abstract: An insulating body embeds an integrated circuit and has a mounting surface, an opposite free surface, and at least one pin exposed along an edge of the mounting surface and electrically connected to a terminal of the integrated circuit. A heatsink configured to dissipate heat produced by the integrated circuit is provided in correspondence of the free surface. The heatsink includes at least one protruding element including a connection portion partly extending in contact with the free surface and partly protruding beyond a boundary of the free surface (the connection portion having a free end being distal from the insulating body), and a mounting portion extending from the free end at least up to a plane of the mounting surface. The heatsink is further electrically connected to a terminal of the integrated circuit chip. The protruding element is placed in correspondence of the at least one pin.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.r.l.Inventors: Cristiano Gianluca Stella, Concetto Privitera

Patent number: 8837154Abstract: An insulating body incorporates at least one integrated circuit chip and includes a mounting surface for mounting to a board and a free surface opposite the mounting surface. A heatsink is attached to the insulating body at the free surface. The heatsink includes at least one stabilizing element. The stabilizing element includes an attachment portion extending at least partially transversely to the free surface beyond a peripheral boundary of the free surface when considered in plan view. The attachment portion has a binding end bound to the free surface and a free end opposite the binding end. The stabilizing element also has a mounting portion extending from the free end of the attachment portion at least up to a plane of the mounting surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.r.l.Inventors: Cristiano Gianluca Stella, Concetto Privitera

Patent number: 8453917Abstract: A system includes a device of the surface-mounting type having an insulating package provided with a mounting surface and a contact pin exposed on the mounting surface. The device is attached to an insulating board including a gluing surface and an opposite surface. The process for manufacturing the system includes forming through holes a contact region on the gluing surface. The mounting surface is glued to the gluing surface with the contact pin aligned with the contact region. Wave soldering is performed to electrically join the device to the board by hitting the opposite surface with a wave of soldering paste to form, by capillary action with the soldering paste ascending in the through holes up to the overflow on the gluing surface, a conductive contact electrically connecting the contact pin of the electronic device through a solder connection to the contact region of the electronic board.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.r.l.Inventors: Concetto Privitera, Cristiano Gianluca Stella
