  • Patent number: 11362061
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for electrically bonding a first semiconductor component to a second semiconductor component, both components including arrays of contact areas. In one aspect, prior to bonding, layers of an intermetallic compound are formed on the contact areas of the second component. The roughness of the intermetallic layers is such that the intermetallic layers include cavities suitable for insertion of a solder material in the cavities, under the application of a bonding pressure, when the solder is at a temperature below its melting temperature. The components are aligned and bonded, while the solder material is applied between the two. Bonding takes place at a temperature below the melting temperature of the solder. The bond can be established only by the insertion of the solder into the cavities of the intermetallic layers, and without the formation of a second intermetallic layer.

  • Patent number: 11335617
    Abstract: An electronic component whose reliability is less likely to decrease while its thermal conductivity is maintained. A semiconductor chip is mounted on a substrate. The semiconductor chip is sealed with a sealing resin layer. The sealing resin layer includes a binder and two types of fillers having a plurality of particles dispersed in the binder. As the two types of fillers, fillers at least one of whose physical quantities, which are average particle diameter and density, are different from each other are used. The total volume density of the fillers in the sealing resin layer decreases in an upward direction from the substrate, and a portion of the sealing resin layer in a height direction of the sealing resin layer has an area in which the two types of fillers are present in a mixed manner.
