Abstract: A semiconductor device in chip format having a chip which has at least one first insulating layer and electrical connection pads free of the insulating layer is described. On the first insulating layer, interconnects run from the electrical connection pads to base regions of external connection elements. A further applied insulating layer is provided with openings leading from the outside to the base regions of the external connection elements. In the openings there is a conductive adhesive, onto which small balls which are metallic at least on the outside are placed. The semiconductor element can also contain a solder paste instead of a conductive adhesive in the openings, and metallized small plastic balls are placed onto the solder paste. The invention furthermore relates to methods for producing the semiconductor device described.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic chip component and a method for fabricating the chip component with a semiconductor chip having an integrated circuit therein. Contact surfaces are on the active surface of the semiconductor chip. The contact surfaces of the integrated circuit have a contact layer consisting of pressure contact material, which protrudes beyond the level of the top non-conductive layer. The active surface of the semiconductor chip includes a meltable glue layer that is adapted to the height of the contact layer.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for producing the electronic device which has at least one microscopically small contact area for an electronic circuit having interconnects that are on a surface of a substrate. A three-dimensionally extending microscopically small contact element is integrally one-piece connected to the contact area.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic component including a housing and a first substrate having at least one integrated circuit, a multiplicity of contact surfaces arranged in an arbitrary distribution on the surface of the first substrate. A second substrate forms a housing and is mechanically joined to the surface of the first substrate in a surface-to-surface contact, via an insulating joining layer. The second substrate has contact connection surfaces that are surface-to-surface connected to the contact surfaces of the first substrate in an electrically conductive manner. The second substrate has symmetrically arranged external contact surfaces that are conductively connected to the contact connection surfaces via through-contacts in the second substrate.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing integrated circuits is described. A semiconductor wafer having an active side with circuit structures is provided. An electrically insulating intermediate layer and an electrically conductive conductor foil are applied to the active side. Conductor tracks with terminal balls are formed with a relatively large spacing pattern in the conductor foil. The semiconductor wafer is subsequently divided up into integrated circuits.

Abstract: The transformation of An IC substrate with edge contacts into a ball grid array is accomplished using a flexible circuit that has terminals arranged planarly on the underside for receiving meltable solder humps and whose conductors leading outwardly from the terminals have exposed ends. The upper side of the flexible circuit is connected with the lower side of the substrate, whereupon the edge regions of the flexible circuit are bent up and around the substrate and the ends of the conductors are electrically contacted to the edge contacts of the substrate.

Abstract: Two semiconductor memory chips are placed onto a flexible wiring and are shaped by simple folding of the flexible wiring about a central elastic line, into a space-efficient stack arrangement whose outer contacts are formed only at one marginal side. To form memory cards, a plurality of such stack arrangements can be placed onto a simply constructed printed board.

Abstract: A process for the production of printed circuit boards having first zones of a wiring pattern for receiving solder and second sub-zones provided with solder rejecting properties so that they do not receive solder, characterized by galvanically applying a solderable etch-resistant metal layer on the first sub-zones of each conductive metal layer, by photo printing a mask of etch-resistant material on the second sub-zones, etching to remove the exposed portions of the conductive metal layer, removing the mask from the second sub-zones and providing the exposed second sub-zones with a solder rejecting property with the aid of passivation without impairing the solderability of the etch-resistant metal layers of the first sub-zones.
