  • Patent number: 11652028
    Abstract: A power semiconductor device includes a die carrier, a power semiconductor chip coupled to the die carrier by a first solder joint, a sleeve for a pin, the sleeve being coupled to the die carrier by a second solder joint, and a sealing mechanically attaching the sleeve to the die carrier, the sealing being arranged at a lower end of the sleeve, wherein the lower end faces the die carrier, and wherein the sealing does not cover the power semiconductor chip.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 28, 2021
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2023
    Assignee: Infineon Technologies AG
    Inventors: Andre Wedi, Carsten Ehlers, Arthur Unrau
  • Publication number: 20220278026
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a substrate comprising a solder stop structure comprises providing a substrate configured to carry a surface mounted device, the substrate comprising a ceramic layer and a metallization arranged on the ceramic layer, wherein the metallization comprises a base metal layer and a noble metal layer covering the base metal layer, and generating an oxidation structure on the metallization, wherein the oxidation structure divides the metallization into a first part and a second part, and wherein the oxidation structure is configured to act as a solder stop, wherein generating the oxidation structure comprises partially removing the noble metal layer.
