  • Patent number: 10115889
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing semiconductor devices is provided. The method includes bonding a semiconductor element to a first surface of a planar lead frame, clamping a partial area of the lead frame to hold the lead frame and the semiconductor element in molding dies, and covering at least a part of the lead frame and the semiconductor element with a resin member by resin molding which fills the molding dies with resin. A thin-walled portion having a relative small thickness is previously formed on a shortest virtual line connecting a clamp area of the lead frame to an area where the semiconductor element is bonded.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 30, 2018
    Assignees: DENSO CORPORATION, TDK-MICRONAS GMBH

  • Patent number: 9632148
    Abstract: A sensor device having a first housing with a first semiconductor body and a plurality of metallic terminal contacts for electrical contacting of a first sensor, and a second housing with a second semiconductor body with a plurality of metallic terminal contacts for electrical contacting of a second sensor. A section of the plurality of terminal contacts penetrates the second housing on the face side and the second semiconductor body is arranged with a back surface on a front side of the second metal substrate. The two housings form a module, whereby the two housings are connected form-fittingly to one another in the shape of a stack by a fixing device in a way in which the bottom side of the first housing is joined to the bottom side of the second housing and the plurality of terminal contacts of the two housings point in the same direction.
