  • Patent number: 7642641
    Abstract: A semiconductor component includes a semiconductor chip provided with a passivation layer that covers the topmost interconnect structure of the semiconductor chip whilst leaving contact areas free. The passivation layer is in direct adhesive contact with the plastic housing composition of the semiconductor component. The passivation layer includes a polymer with embedded mineral-ceramic nanoparticles.

  • Patent number: 7635612
    Abstract: In a device (35) and a method a thin organic or inorganic layer is applied to individual component positions of band-like structures (1). The layer can effect improved or optimized adhesion between a coated surface and a plastic housing compound. Furthermore, the layer can be used as a corrosion prevention layer, an electrical insulating layer or as a dielectric for the coated surfaces. For the selective application of the layer, the device (35) has a jet printer (2) having a plurality of electronically controllable jet heads (4-7). The jet printer (2) coats the band-like structures (1) selectively on the upper side (17) in a first coating position (15) and coats the band-like structures (1) selectively on the underside (18) in a second coating position (16).

  • Patent number: 7597484
    Abstract: An MID module with a plug-type connector for an optical fibre with an upper face, edge faces and a lower face, comprising an accommodating channel surrounded by walls for the accommodation of an optical fibre. Here the diameter of the accommodation channel essentially corresponds to that of the optical fibre. The MID module further comprises a semiconductor chip, which is arranged on a front face of the accommodating channel. The semiconductor chip comprises an optically active region, which is optically accessible from the accommodation channel. A slot is provided in the walls of the MID module for the accommodation of a locking element. A locking element, introducible into the slot, locks the fibre in the accommodating channel.
