Patent number: 6685168Abstract: An electronic component such as a surface acoustic wave component has a chip a piezoelectric substrate with electrically conductive structures thereon and a base plate having external electrical terminal elements that are contacted to the electrically conductive structures of the chip. A protective film is applied onto the chip surface carrying the electrically conductive structures. The surface of the protective film facing away from the piezoelectric substrate carries electrical contact elements that are connected, to the electrically conductive structures of the chip via through-contacts in the protective film and/or directly via bumps, as well as to the electrical terminal elements of the base plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2000Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: Epcos AktiengesellschaftInventors: Alois Stelzl, Hans Krüger, Karl Weidner, Manfred Wossler

Patent number: 6657851Abstract: The invention is directed to a layer stack for the acceptance of a liquid having a suction layer (1) with high absorbency sufficing for sucking up the liquid from the edge of the layer stack into its middle and having a first storage layer (2) with low absorbency that is not sufficient for sucking up the liquid from the edge of the layer stack up to its middle between which an intermediate layer (3) composed of non-absorbent material and adjoining the first storage layer (3) is arranged, whereby a non-absorbent edge layer (7) is arranged at that side of the first storage layer (2) facing away from the intermediate layer (3), and whereby the intermediate layer (3) comprises through holes (4) whose plurality, size and distribution is selected such that some of the liquid suctioned up by the suction layer (1) can proceed via the holes (4) to the first storage layer and thoroughly saturate this.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: EPCOS AktiengesellschaftInventor: Norbert Will

Patent number: 6404305Abstract: A strip transmission filter having resonators with impedance skips in which the resonators are provided in a ceramic substrate. The strip transmission filter also includes capacitive couplings. The ceramic substrate has a metallic coating on all sides except for a face side. The coupling structures are at the face side of the substrate. The ceramic substrate is constructed in a stepped formation in a region of the coupling structures and at least one ground terminal. Thus, the adhesion of metallic coating is increased which, in turn, facilitates soldering.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2000Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Epcos AktiengesellschaftInventor: Christian Block
