  • Patent number: 6652291
    Abstract: The leadframe interposer is provided with an upset which is formed by shaping in a central region and enlarges the vertical dimension of the interposer there in such a way that, during the assembly of a housing stack of a plurality of semiconductor chips, the upset presses against a topside or underside of a chip housing in such a way that a compensating torque is exerted on the interposer, which prevents a possible strain or deformation when the leads are pressed onto the contact regions of the interposer. The contact regions are laterally offset with respect to one another.

  • Patent number: 6538895
    Abstract: A configuration of at least two TSOP memory chip housings stacked one on another, is described. Each of the TSOP memory chip housings has at least one memory chip with a number of pins disposed in an interior of the TSOP memory chip housing. The pins leading out of a respective TSOP memory chip housing and, via a rewiring configuration, are connected to pins leading out of a respectively directly adjacent TSOP memory chip housing of the same TSOP memory chip housing stack. In order to be able to produce such a housing stack as cost-effectively and simply as possible by an automated mounting method, the rewiring configuration is implemented in the form of leadframes respectively disposed between or at the side between the individual TSOP memory chip housings.
