Abstract: According to various embodiments, a method of processing a substrate may include: forming a plurality of trenches into a substrate between two chip structures in the substrate, the trenches defining at least one pillar between the two chip structures and a sidewall on each of said two chip structures; disposing an auxiliary carrier on the substrate to hold the chip structures and the at least one pillar; at least partially filling the trenches with encapsulation material to cover the at least one pillar and the sidewalls, thereby at least partially encapsulating the chip structures; removing a portion of the encapsulation material to expose at least a portion of the at least one pillar; and at least partially removing the at least one pillar.

Abstract: A lead frame strip includes a plurality of connected unit lead frames, each unit lead frame having a die paddle and a plurality of leads connected to a periphery of the unit lead frame. A semiconductor die is attached to the die paddles. A molding compound covers the unit lead frames, including the semiconductor dies. Prior to testing or other processing of the lead frame strip, a gap is etched into a region of the leads which are shared by adjacent ones of the unit lead frames. The gap extends at least mostly through the shared leads. A partial cut is made in the molding compound around the periphery of the unit lead frames prior to the subsequent processing, including below the gap in the shared leads, to electrically isolate the leads of the unit lead frames.

Abstract: An electronic semiconductor module component with a semiconductor stack includes semiconductor components arranged in a vertically stacked relationship. A basic semiconductor component includes a lower interposing unit, on which lower external contact pads are arranged. The basic semiconductor component further includes an upper interposing unit, on which upper external contact pads are arranged. The two interposing units are electrically connected to one another via bonding connections disposed at their edge areas. The basic semiconductor component is a compact component on which different, customer-specific semiconductor components can be stacked.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic component having an integrated circuit being packaged in a housing. The electronic component is adhesively bonded to an island of a leadframe, the island being designed to accommodate the integrated circuit and being dimensionally adapted to the base surface of the integrated circuit in order to minimize and prevent housing deformations.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic device having a semiconductor chip and a leadframe. The leadframe has a flat conductor frame. A semiconductor chip connection plate is configured in the center of the flat conductor frame. The semiconductor chip connection plate is structured by elongate openings all around the position of the semiconductor chip to form an island that carries the semiconductor chip and a ring that surrounds the island. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such an electronic device and to a corresponding leadframe.
