Patents by Inventor Achim Strass

Achim Strass has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11862533
    Abstract: A package includes: at least one electronic chip; an encapsulant encapsulating at least part of the at least one electronic chip; a shielding layer on at least part of an external surface of the encapsulant; and a first heat removal body thermally coupled to the at least one electronic chip and configured for removing thermal energy from the at least one electronic chip to a cooling fluid. The encapsulant has a surface portion that extends in a surface region extending laterally directly adjacent to the first heat removal body. The surface portion of the encapsulant delimits part of a cooling cavity configured to guide the cooling fluid. The shielding layer covers the surface portion of the encapsulant. A corresponding electronic device, method of manufacturing the package, method of manufacturing the electronic device, vehicle, and method of using the electronic device are also described.
