  • Publication number: 20130113114
    Abstract: A device includes a first power semiconductor chip having a first face and a second face opposite to the first face with a first contact pad arranged on the first face. The first contact pad is an external contact pad. The device further includes a first contact clip attached to the second face of the first power semiconductor chip. A second power semiconductor chip is attached to the first contact clip, and a second contact clip is attached to the second power semiconductor chip.

  • Publication number: 20130021766
    Abstract: An electronic component includes an electrically conductive carrier. The electrically conductive carrier includes a carrier surface and a semiconductor chip includes a chip surface. One or both of the carrier surface and the chip surface include a non-planar structure. The chip is attached to the carrier with the chip surface facing towards the carrier surface so that a gap is provided between the chip surface and the carrier surface due to the non-planar structure of one or both of the carrier surface and the first chip surface. The electronic component further includes a first galvanically deposited metallic layer situated in the gap.

  • Publication number: 20120327614
    Abstract: A method for attaching a metal surface to a carrier is provided, the method including: forming a first polymer layer over the metal surface; forming a second polymer layer over a surface of the carrier; and bringing the first polymer layer into physical contact with the second polymer layer such that at least one of an interpenetrating polymer structure and an inter-diffusing polymer structure is formed between the first polymer layer and the second polymer layer.
