Patent number: 10879583Abstract: An electronic device includes a support plate having a mounting face and an electrical connection network. An integrated circuit chip is mounted on the mounting face and linked to the electrical connection network. An encapsulation block embeds the integrated circuit chip. An additional element made of an electrically conductive material is at least partly embedded within the encapsulation block. The additional conductive element has a main portion extending parallel to the support plate and has a secondary portion that is linked electrically to the integrated circuit chip. An opening is formed in the encapsulation block, and the secondary portion extends into that opening to make the electrical link. The additional conductive element may be an antenna.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignees: STMicroelectronics (Alps) SAS, STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SASInventors: David Auchere, Laurent Marechal, Yvon Imbs, Laurent Schwarz

Patent number: 10292259Abstract: An electronic device disclosed herein includes a first conductor layer, a first nonconducting layer, and a second conductor layer in a stacked arrangement. A signal carrying conductive via is formed in the first nonconducting layer and extends between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer. A shielding conductive via is formed in the first nonconducting layer, is not electrically coupled to the signal carrying conductive via, and substantially completely surrounds the signal carrying conductive via in spaced apart relation thereto.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SASInventors: Laurent Marechal, Richard Rembert, Jerome Lopez

Patent number: 10103079Abstract: An electronic device includes a supporting substrate having a front mounting face and an electrical connection network. An integrated circuit chip is mounted to the mounting face and is electrically connected to the electrical connection network. A primary encapsulation block embeds the integrated circuit chip and extends above and around the integrated circuit chip on the mounting face of the supporting substrate. An opening is provided in the primary encapsulation block to at least partially uncover an electrical contact. An additional wire made from an electrically conductive material has an end that is electrically connected to the electrical contact. An additional encapsulation block above the primary encapsulation block embeds the additional wire.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignees: STMicroelectronics (Alps) SAS, STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SASInventors: Yvon Imbs, Laurent Schwarz, David Auchere, Laurent Marechal
