  • Patent number: 11605571
    Abstract: A package that includes a substrate, an integrated device, a first encapsulation layer and a void. The substrate includes a first surface. The integrated device is coupled to the first surface of the substrate. The first encapsulation layer is located over the first surface of the substrate and the integrated device. The first encapsulation layer includes an undercut relative to a side surface of the integrated device. The void is located between the integrated device and the first surface of the substrate. The void is laterally surrounded by the undercut of the encapsulation layer.

  • Patent number: 11239170
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a module that has a lower component of a module (1) having a material (3) in which at least one first structural element (4) is embedded, and an upper component of a module (2) having a material (3) in which at least a second component (16) is embedded. The upper component of the module (2) and the lower component of the module (1) are stacked, with the lower and the upper component of the module (2) being electrically connected and mechanically linked to each other. In addition, the present invention relates to a simple and cost-effective process for the production of a variety of modules. The invention makes it possible for the modules to be miniaturized with respect to surface and height and/or makes it possible to achieve greater integration by 3D packaging.

  • Patent number: 10438901
    Abstract: Some features pertain to a package that includes an enhanced electromagnetic shield. The package includes a substrate, an electronic component coupled to the substrate, and a mold partially surrounding the electronic component. The package further includes a first shield over the mold, and a second shield over the first shield. One of the first shield or the second shield is a high permeability shield and the remaining first or second shield is a high conductivity shield relative to the high permeability shield.

  • Patent number: 9576870
    Abstract: The invention relates to a module package which comprises a module substrate 1, a chip 2, 3 applied using the flip chip process, and an encapsulation layer 8, and to a method for producing same. The chip 2, 3 has component structures on the top side 13, 14 thereof. Said top said 13, 14 faces the module carrier 1, wherein a gap 4, 5 is formed between the top side 13, 14 of the chip and the module carrier 1. A filler is added to the encapsulation layer 8. The encapsulation layer 8 partly fills underneath the chip 2, 3, wherein at most the part of the chip 2, 3, on which no component structures are present, is underfilled, and at a minimum the material of the encapsulation layer 8 completely encloses the sides of the chip 2, 3.

  • Patent number: 9386734
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a substrate (120), at least one electronic component (171, 172, 173) arranged on the substrate, and an encapsulation (140) covering the at least one electronic component (171, 172, 173). An electromagnetic protective layer (130) covers a surface (143) of the encapsulation (140) that faces away from the substrate (120), and the side faces (121, 141; 122, 142) directed transversely with respect to the surface (143). In particular, a thermal and/or electrical coupling (134, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166) couples the electromagnetic protective layer (130) thermally and/or electrically to a region (168) of the electronic device (111, 112) that is enclosed by the encapsulation. For production purposes, the device is singulated from a panel and the electromagnetic protective layer (130) is subsequently applied.

  • Publication number: 20130343006
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical module (100) for being received by automatic placement machines by means of generating a vacuum, comprising a carrier substrate (10), at least one component (20, 21) disposed on the carrier substrate (10), and a cover element (30) disposed above the at least one component (20, 21). A fixing component (40) by which the cover element (30) is attached to the at least one component (21) is disposed between the cover element (30) and the at least one component (21). The cover element can be implemented as a dimensionally stable, flat film by means of which it is possible to suction the module by means of vacuum for a placement method, and to place said module at a position on a circuit board.
