  • Patent number: 8580070
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for making a semiconductor. In one embodiment the method includes applying an adhesive layer to ground-thin or thinned semiconductor chips of a semiconductor wafer. In this embodiment, the adhesive layer composed of curable adhesive is introduced relatively early into a method for the thinning by grinding, separation and singulation of a semiconductor wafer to form thinned semiconductor chips, and is used further in a semiconductor device into which the thinned semiconductor chip is to be incorporated.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7883993
    Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor device with a semiconductor chip and a rewiring layer, the semiconductor chip being embedded in a housing plastics composition by its rear side contact. The active top side of the semiconductor chip forms a coplanar overall top side with the top side of the housing plastics composition. The rear side contact is led to the overall top side via a flat conductor sheet tape, so that the rear side contact of the semiconductor chip can be accessed from the overall top side.

  • Patent number: 7713791
    Abstract: The invention relates to a panel and a semiconductor device including a composite plate with semiconductor chips and a plastic packaging compound, and to processes for producing them. For this purpose, the panel having a composite plate has semiconductor chips arranged in rows and columns on a top side of a wiring substrate. The wiring substrate is covered by a plastic packaging compound in a plurality of semiconductor device positions, the rear sides of the semiconductor chips being fixed on the wiring substrate. A plastic packaging compound in the region of the boundary surfaces with the semiconductor chips has a coefficient of thermal expansion which is matched to that of silicon, while the remaining plastic packaging compound has a coefficient of thermal expansion which is matched to that of the wiring substrate and is therefore correspondingly higher.
