  • Patent number: 11670745
    Abstract: A method for producing optoelectronic semiconductor components may include applying optoelectronic semiconductor chips for generating radiation to a carrier, producing a potting around the semiconductor chips with a potting top side facing away from the carrier such that the semiconductor chips remain free of a reflective potting material. The potting has trenches between the semiconductor chips, and the trenches are arranged at a distance from the semiconductor chips; the trenches do not touch the semiconductor chips. The method may further include filling the trenches with a supporting material to form at least one supporting body and leaving the potting alongside the trenches free of the supporting material.

  • Patent number: 10714455
    Abstract: IC package assemblies including a molding compound in which an IC chip surface is recessed relative to the molding compound. Thickness of the IC chip may be reduced relative to its thickness during the molding process. Another IC chip, heat spreader, etc. may then occupy the resultant recess framed by the molding compound to achieve a fine stacking pitch. In some embodiments, a package-on-package (PoP) assembly includes a center-molded IC chip flip-chip-bonded to a first package substrate. A second substrate to which a second IC chip is flip-chip bonded is then electrically coupled to the first substrate by through-molding vias. Within the PoP assembly, the second IC chip may be disposed back-to-back with the center-molded IC chip so as to occupy the recess framed by the molding compound.

  • Publication number: 20200068711
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provide to form one or more pads on at least one surface associated with a portion of a component, for example, a component associated with a surface-mounted device (SMD). Further, the systems and methods are directed to providing metal (for example, copper, Cu) layers on the surface of one or more terminations (for example, solder termination pads) of an electrical component. In one embodiment, the metal layers include metal termination pads that are fabricated on a carrier layer; components can be soldered to these termination pads, then the components with the metal pads can be debonded from the carrier layer. As such, the solder terminations of the components can be covered by the metal pads.
