  • Patent number: 7952197
    Abstract: The invention discloses an electrical component with a carrier substrate, on which at least one semiconductor chip is mounted. Terminal areas are arranged on the underside of the carrier substrate and contact areas designed for the assembly with semiconductor chips are arranged on the upper side. The carrier substrate has a functional area that is divided into sections, wherein each section is assigned at least one function such as, e.g., as a filter, a frequency-separating filter, a balun, etc. A separate area of the carrier substrate is assigned to each section. The following applies to at least one of the sections: the contact area and/or the terminal area that is conductively connected to the section lies outside the base of this section. The connecting line that conductively connects the input or output of the respective section to the contact area and/or the terminal area is preferably shielded from the section by a ground area.

  • Patent number: 7684170
    Abstract: A multi-layer capacitor includes several electrically insulating layers that are stacked on top of one another. Parallel electrode plates are arranged between the insulating layers alternately one on top of the other, with each of the plates being separated by an intervening insulating layer. At least one first connecting line which extends perpendicularly through the layers is connected to one set of electrode plates and is insulated in relation to the other set of second electrode plates. Similarly, second connecting lines extend perpendicularly through the layers and are connected to the other set of plates and are insulated in relation to the one set of plates. The first connecting line extends centrally through the stacked electrode plates and is designed to carry a high-frequency signal.

  • Patent number: 7358604
    Abstract: A multichip circuit module includes a main board, at least one carrier substrate mounted on and in electrical contact with the main board, and at least one semiconductor chip arranged on the carrier substrate and in electrical contact therewith. The carrier substrate has at least one cavity on an assembly surface for receiving the semiconductor chip. The cavity includes connecting contacts which join with associated bumps on the semiconductor chip using a flip-chip technique. The assembly surface of the carrier substrate is placed on a contact surface of the main board, and a filling material is provided between the contract surface of the main board and the assembly surface of the carrier substrate.
