  • Patent number: 8587110
    Abstract: A semiconductor module having a semiconductor chip stack and a method for producing the same is disclosed. In one embodiment, a thermally conductive layer with anisotropically thermally conductive particles is arranged between the semiconductor chips. The anisotropically thermally conductive particles have a lower thermal conductivity in a direction vertically with respect to the layer or the film than in a direction of the layer or the film.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8148210
    Abstract: The method includes providing a plurality of semiconductor chips and placing the plurality of semiconductor chips on a carrier. A compression molding apparatus is provided that includes a first tool and a second tool. The carrier is placed on the first tool of the compression molding apparatus and the semiconductor chips are encapsulated in a mold material by compression molding. During compression molding a heat transfer from the first tool to an upper surface of the carrier is delayed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7420262
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic component and a semiconductor wafer, and a method for producing them. The semiconductor wafer has strip-type separating regions. The separating regions are provided with through contacts in the direction of the rear side of the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor chip separated from such a semiconductor wafer constitutes an electronic component with external contacts in the form of edge contacts. Such an electronic component of semiconductor chip size can be used in diverse ways.

  • Patent number: 7230831
    Abstract: A heat sink is arranged on a main circuit board of an electronic module. The heat sink includes a three-dimensionally structured thermally conductive plate with a press-on region and with snap-action hooks. The snap-action hooks are arranged approximately at right angles with respect to the press-on region and are resiliently connected to the press-on region. The snap-action hooks are latched into place, with pressure generation of the press-on region onto a rear side of a surface-mountable semiconductor device, into corresponding passage openings of the circuit board. A plastically deformable thermal composition is disposed between the rear side of the semiconductor device and the press-on region of the heat sink so as to form an intermediate layer therebetween to provide compensation for the thickness tolerances of the semiconductor device.
