  • Publication number: 20190103368
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an electronic device includes fixing a rear face of an integrated-circuit chip to a front face of a support wafer. An infused adhesive is applied in the form of drops or segments that are separated from each other. A protective wafer is applied to the infused adhesive, and the infused adhesive is cured. The infused adhesive includes a curable adhesive and solid spacer elements infused in the curable adhesive. A closed intermediate peripheral ring is deposited on the integrated-circuit chip outside the cured infused adhesive, and an encapsulation block is formed such that it surrounds the chip, the protective wafer and the closed intermediate peripheral ring.

  • Publication number: 20190027416
    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip is mounted to a front face of a support plate. An encapsulation cap in then mounted to the support plate. The encapsulation cap includes a front wall and a peripheral wall having an end edge at least partly facing a peripheral zone of the support plate. The support plate and the encapsulation cap delimit a chamber in which the integrated circuit chip is situated. To mount the encapsulation cap, a bead of glue is inserted between the peripheral zone and the end edge of the peripheral wall of the encapsulation cap. A peripheral outer face of the encapsulation cap includes a recess extending from the end edge which locally uncovers a part of the bead of glue. A local hardening of the glue at the recess is performed as a first attachment step. Further hardening of the remainder of the glue is then performed.

  • Publication number: 20180190511
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cover for an electronic package includes placing an electrically conductive insert (including an electrical contact surface) inside a cavity of a mold in a position such that the electrical contact surface is in contact with a face of the cavity of the mold. A coating material is injected into said cavity and set so as to produce a substrate that is overmolded around the insert and forms the cover where the electrical contact surface of the overmolded substrate is not covered by the coating material. An electronic package is then formed from a chip mounted on a carrier substrate that is covered by the cover. The electrical contact surface is located above and electrically connected to an electrical connection pad of either the chip or the carrier substrate.

  • Publication number: 20180190838
    Abstract: A cover for an electronic package is manufactured by placing an optical insert, having opposite faces and configured to allow light radiation to pass therethrough, between two opposite faces of a cavity of a mold in a position such that said optical faces of the optical insert make contact with said opposite faces of the cavity of the mold. A coating material is injected into the cavity and around the optical insert. The coating material is set to obtain a substrate that is overmolded around the optical insert so as to produce the cover. An electronic package includes an electronic chip mounted to a support substrate with the cover formed by the overmolded substrate mounted to the support substrate.

  • Publication number: 20180190512
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cover for an electronic package includes placing an insert having opposite faces between opposite faces of a cavity of a mold. A coating material is injected in the mold cavity around the insert. The coating material is then set to form a substrate that is overmolded around the insert and produce the cover.

  • Publication number: 20180058920
    Abstract: A microchip has a rear face attached to a front mounting face of a support plate. An encapsulation cover for the microchip is mounted to the support plate. The encapsulation cover includes a front wall, a peripheral wall extending from the front wall and an inside partition extending from the front wall and between opposite sides of the peripheral wall. The inside partition passes locally above the microchip to delimit two cavities. A bonding material is interposed between encapsulation cover and the support plate and microchip. An end part of the inside partition of the cover, adjacent to the front face of the microchip, include an accumulation and containment recess that is configured to at least partly receive the bonding material.

  • Patent number: 9773740
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an electronic device, and an electronic device in a stacked configuration, includes a rear face of an integrated-circuit chip that is fixed to a front face of a support wafer. A protective wafer is located facing and at a distance from the front face of the chip, and an infused adhesive is interposed between the chip and the protective wafer and located on a zone of the front face of the chip outside a central region of this front face. The infused adhesive includes a curable adhesive and solid spacer elements infused in the curable adhesive. An obstruction barrier is arranged between the chip and the protective wafer and is disposed outside the central region of the front face of the chip. An encapsulation ring surrounds the chip, the protective wafer and the obstruction barrier.

  • Patent number: 9472692
    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip is mounted on top of a base wafer, and a protection wafer is mounted on top of the integrated circuit chip. An encapsulation block is formed around the integrated circuit chip and the protection wafer and on a peripheral part of the front face of the base wafer. The encapsulation block includes a first encapsulation ring arranged around the integrated circuit chip and the protection wafer, having an annular beading protruding with respect to the front face of the protection wafer and forming a peripheral groove (24) recessed with respect to this protruding annular beading. A second encapsulation ring of the encapsulation block fills the peripheral groove of the first encapsulation ring.
