Patent number: 5991160Abstract: The heat tolerance of an LED alphanumeric display device having a clear epoxy encapsulation can be improved by matching the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the inner circuit board to the high CTE of the epoxy. When heat is applied to fix the device to a circuit board, the components will expand at a nearly equal rate, avoiding cracking and failure.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1995Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Infineon Technologies CorporationInventor: Marvin Lumbard

Patent number: 5855924Abstract: A closed mold for encapsulating LED alphanumeric display devices uses opposing platens and top and bottom plates to achieve a seal about the display device. By providing the display device with a dambar, splatter on the leads is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1995Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Assignee: Siemens Microelectronics, Inc.Inventor: Marvin Lumbard

Patent number: 5852517Abstract: An optical send-receive module includes a frame which has a front section, a back side, and a top section. A lens carrier is attached to the front section of the frame. The lens carrier includes one or more lenses which face forward. An integrated circuit carrier is placed within the top section of the frame. First metal leads electrically connect components within the lens carrier to an integrated circuit within the integrated circuit carrier. Second metal leads extend from the integrated circuit carrier, along the top section of the frame, down the back side of the frame and are bent under the frame.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1997Date of Patent: December 22, 1998Assignee: Siemens Microelectronics, Inc.Inventors: Paul-Martin Gerber, Marvin Lumbard

Patent number: 5357674Abstract: A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board (PCB) for interconnecting integrated circuit devices includes a lead frame sandwiched between two multilayer substrates. Integrated circuit devices are mounted on the top of the upper substrate and on the bottom of the lower substrate to provide increased packaging density. Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a simply constructed electronic component mounting PCB which facilitates the design of circuits, and affords excellent connection reliability, which can readily form a heat radiating structure, and in which the thermal matching with the electronic component is excellent.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1993Date of Patent: October 25, 1994Assignee: Siemens Components, Inc.Inventor: Marvin Lumbard

Patent number: 4890383Abstract: Processing techniques for various modular components provide various surface mount structures for single device components (10) and multiple device components (FIGS. 6 and 7) suitable as character displays. The technique beings with a slab of substrate material 12 patterned on both sides. Plated through holes (33, 43) connecting back side terminals (19, 20) to front side connective strips (22, 24) are formed. Devices (15, 16) are mounted to land areas (13, 34) and wire bonded to connecting pads (14). The front side is coated with epoxy to encapsulate the devices in a layer having an outer surface formed into optional lenses (262, 263). The slab is then separated to provide the modular components.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1989Date of Patent: January 2, 1990Assignee: Simens Corporate Research & Support, Inc.Inventors: Marvin Lumbard, Lynn K. Wiese

Patent number: 4859632Abstract: A lead frame and method for processing the lead frames from a continuous strip of lead frames. A first insulation support member and a second insulative support member are first molded to the lead frame. After the support members are formed, the positioning member for supporting the leads within the lead frame is stamped from the lead frame. After an integrated circuit (IC) is connected to the leads, the IC can be tested within the lead frame since the leads are electrically isolated from the lead frame and each other. Finally the IC can be encapsulated and the leads severed from the lead frame assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1987Date of Patent: August 22, 1989Assignee: Siemens Corporate Research and Support, Inc.Inventor: Marvin Lumbard
