  • Publication number: 20070181979
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a semiconductor component with cavity structure and a method for producing the same. The semiconductor component has an active semiconductor chip with the microelectromechanical structure and a wiring structure on its top side. The microelectromechanical structure is surrounded by walls of at least one cavity. A covering, which covers the cavity, is arranged on the walls. The walls have a photolithographically patterned polymer. The covering has a layer with a polymer of identical type. In one case, the molecular chains of the polymer of the walls are crosslinked with the molecular chains of the polymer layer of the covering layer to form a dimensionally stable cavity housing.

  • Publication number: 20070094982
    Abstract: A heat treatment method is provided for a panel. The panel includes a plastic housing composition, in which semiconductor chips are embedded by their rear sides and edge sides, and the top sides of the semiconductor chips form a coplanar area with the plastic housing composition. The panel is fixed by its underside on a holder, and a temperature gradient (?T) is then generated between top side and the underside of the panel. The temperature gradient (?T) is then maintained for at least one delimited or selected time period. The panel is then cooled to room temperature (TR).

  • Publication number: 20070069353
    Abstract: A semiconductor device with plastic housing composition includes an internal wiring that is electrically insulated from the plastic housing composition by an insulation layer. The plastic housing composition has a high thermal conductivity and a low coefficient of expansion, the coefficient of expansion being adapted to the semiconductor chip of the semiconductor device. This is achieved by forming the plastic housing composition with electrically semiconducting and/or electrically conducting filler particles. In particular, this plastic housing composition is advantageously used for semiconductor devices with flip-chip contacts and/or for semiconductor devices which are constructed according to the “universal packaging concept”.

  • Publication number: 20060197220
    Abstract: A semiconductor device having a plastic housing and external connections, and to a method for producing the same is disclosed. In one embodiment, the plastic housing has a housing external contour made of plastic external areas with a top side, an underside opposite to the top side, and edge sides. Lower external contact areas are arranged on the underside and upper external contact areas are arranged on the top side. Furthermore, the plastic housing has external conductor tracks along the housing external contour, by means of which the lower and upper external contact areas are electrically connected. For this purpose, the external conductor tracks have at least one jet-printed first conductor track layer made of electrically conductive material. Such jet-printed conductor track layers may also be applied to active top sides of semiconductor chips in order to bridge underlying conductor track layers.

  • Publication number: 20060189124
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a housing composition and a through contact extending through the housing composition. The through contact is provided in a contact hole formed through the housing composition and having an asymmetrical funnel form with at least two opposite inner wall sides oriented substantially perpendicular to the top side of the housing and a further inner wall side inclined in such a way that the contact hole has an elongated-hole cross section at the top side of the housing. In the region of the contact pad, the contact hole has a cross section adapted to the contact pad. The through contact includes a contact-making conductor track that extends from the top side of the housing along the inclined fourth inner wall side to the contact pad.

  • Patent number: 7073957
    Abstract: An optoelectronic transmitting and/or receiving module and an optical plug include a circuit carrier disposed at least partially in an alignment parallel to the optical axis of the module in a module housing. The circuit carrier forms a tongue-shaped region that protrudes into the continuation. A transmitting device and/or a receiving device is disposed in the continuation, where they are connected to the circuit carrier. The associated axial offsetting of the transmitting device and/or receiving device in the direction of an optical plug to be coupled on permits the provision of plug-in connections with improved protection of the devices and the fiber ends.
