  • Patent number: 6973205
    Abstract: To increase the scratch resistance of a surface passivation, in particular, for fingerprint sensors, a antifrictional layer is applied to reduce the shearing forces. The antifrictional layer includes fat, oil, surfactants and/or wax. The antifrictional layer is preferably an emulsion including water, paraffin oil, propylene glycol, stearic acid, palmitic acid, TEA, beeswax, carbormer 954, methylparaben, propylparaben and possibly perfume.

  • Patent number: 6836953
    Abstract: In a biometric sensor and a method for its production, a sensor chip is provided with connecting contacts in the form of electrically conductive bumps. The sensor chip is inserted into a chip housing, the bumps making contact with corresponding connecting leads belonging to the chip housing. At the same time as this contact is made, the sensor chip is bonded adhesively into the chip housing by an adhesive layer, which surrounds the sensor field in a sealing manner.

  • Patent number: 6804121
    Abstract: A housing for biometric sensor chips and a method for producing such a housing includes a freely accessible fingerprint checking area on a sensor chip, a mount substrate with contact outer surfaces thereon, the mount substrate being a mounting strip with perforated edges, on which the contact outer surfaces are disposed partially outside a housing frame, and the sensor chip is positioned within the housing frame.

  • Patent number: 6714392
    Abstract: An electronic component is described and has a dielectric layer which is constructed on a substrate, conductive surfaces that are constructed on the dielectric layer, and an electrically conductive guard structure. The guard structure is disposed in a plane above the conductive surfaces such that the conductive surfaces are not completely covered by the guard structure.

  • Patent number: 6713677
    Abstract: A housing assembly forms a package for an electronic device. The housing assembly has the electronic device, an external carrier and a housing frame. A capillary-acting epoxy resin is filled into the assembled housing assembly via a filling-in opening and, on account of its capillary action, closes the interspaces between the semiconductor chip and the housing frame.

  • Patent number: 6347040
    Abstract: The sensor device is provided for sensing biometric characteristics, in particular finger minutiae, with a biometric sensor chip. The sensor chip is fastened on a flexible printed circuit board that has a highly flexible substrate layer and conductor tracks applied to the substrate layer. The conductor tracks are in electrical contact with the sensor chip and are led to a terminal region of the flexible printed circuit board. The sensing area of the sensor chip is accessible through an opening in the flexible circuit board and the opening is at least partially surrounded by a grounding frame.

  • Patent number: 5242293
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing extrusions, such as optical waveguide plug prongs or sheaths with a central opening, from a deformable composition, includes a receiving body having an outlet opening and having an interior tapering conically at a predetermined first angle of conicity toward the outlet opening. A flow body is to be inserted into the interior of the receiving body. The flow body has an end portion tapering conically at a predetermined second angle of conicity. The second angle of conicity is smaller than the first angle of conicity. A retainer retains the flow body in the interior of the receiving body. The retainer is resilient in radial direction of the interior of the receiving body.
