  • Patent number: 7288831
    Abstract: In a two-pole SMT miniature housing in leadframe technique for semiconductor components, a semiconductor chip is mounted on one leadframe part and is contacted to a further leadframe part. The further leadframe part is conducted out of the housing in which the chip is encapsulated as a solder terminal. No trimming or shaping process is required and the housing is tight and is capable of further miniaturization. The solder terminals as punched parts of the leadframe are conducted projecting laterally from the housing sidewalls residing opposite one another at least up to the housing floor which forms the components' mounting surface. The chip mounting surface and the components' mounting surface form a right angle with one another.

  • Patent number: 5027995
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip (1) is bonded to a substrate (2) serving as a component housing, a contact part, an insulative part or a connecting part without the use of a high-temperature process or any additional bonding medium such as solder or flux. The backside of the semiconductor chip (1) or substrate (2) is structured to include specially formed bumps (3) for the necessary connections. A ductile metal is used for these bumps (3). The bond to the substrate (2) is formed by using pressure and/or ultrasonic energy. The process according to this invention is particularly suitable for bonding components in data link receivers, optoelectronic couplers, transmitters (LEDs, IREDs) and ISDN modules.

  • Patent number: 4940855
    Abstract: A hermetically tight glass-metal housing for semiconductor components and a method for producing the housing includes a base support for a semiconductor component in the form of a conducting strip having an upper portion and being suitable for functioning as a lead frame. A mounting pedestal is disposed at the upper portion of the conducting strip. Electrical contacts are disposed at the upper portion of the conducting strip for electrical connections with the semiconductor component. A metal ring is hermetically tightly sealed to the upper portion of the conducting strip. A metal cap surrounds the semiconductor component and the metal ring forms a connecting element for a tight weld with the metal cap.

  • Patent number: 4875750
    Abstract: An optoelectronic coupling element and method for manufacturing the coupling element. The coupling element includes a light wave guide, a microlens, a first carrier chip and a light emitting and/or light detecting semiconductor element. The microlens is preferably spherical in shape and is adapted for optically coupling the light wave guide and the semiconductor element. The semiconductor element can be part of the first carrier chip or, according to another embodiment, can be part of a second carrier chip. The purpose of this coupling element is to facilitate the precise mounting of the microlens in a position between the light wave guide and the semiconductor element and also facilitate the adjustment of the microlens to optimally perform its light coupling function. The method for manufacturing the coupling element provides for the formation of a receptacle having trapezoidal shape sides in the carrier chip. The microlens is mounted within the receptacle with a connecting medium such as glass.
