  • Publication number: 20150303112
    Abstract: A method for singulating an assemblage (1) into a plurality of semiconductor chips (10) is specified, wherein an assemblage comprising a carrier (4), a semiconductor layer sequence (2) and a metallic layer (3) is provided. Separating trenches (45) are formed in the carrier. The assemblage is subjected to mechanical loading, with the result that the metallic layer breaks along the separating trenches and the assemblage is singulated into semiconductor chips, wherein the singulated semiconductor chips each have part of the semiconductor layer sequence, of the carrier and of the metallic layer. A semiconductor chip (10) is furthermore specified.

  • Patent number: 7476906
    Abstract: The invention relates to a photodiode array comprising a photodiode and a submount, via which the photodiode is contacted, said photodiode and said submount being interlinked by eutectic bonding. The invention further relates to a method for establishing a link between a first semiconductor element and a second semiconductor element which have different outer contours, the two elements being interlinked by eutectic bonding when already being present as a wafer composite. The two interlinked wafers are subdivided one by one and independently of each other in accordance with the desired outer contour.

  • Patent number: 7445119
    Abstract: Cavities for holding semiconductor chips are etched anisotropically into a semiconductor wafer. An orientation of the wafer in the (100) pulling direction results in geometrically exactly etched sidewalls of the cavities with an angle of 125.3°. What is thereby achieved is that chips can slip into the cavity with a low risk of damage. A transparent cover plate is situated on the cavity plate.

  • Patent number: 7223952
    Abstract: An optical sensing head, which is for reading out an optical data memory, has a substrate with a main surface. An edge-emitting laser component is configured on the main surface of the substrate and has irradiation axis oriented essentially parallel to the first main plane. A deflection device is arranged on the main surface of the substrate and deflects the laser radiation in a direction that is essentially perpendicular to the main surface. At least one signal detector is provided for sensing the laser radiation that is reflected by the optical data memory. An optical element guides the deflected laser radiation to the optical data memory and guides reflected laser radiation to the signal detector. The optical element is connected to the substrate by at least one supporting element. The invention also includes a method for fabricating such a sensing head.

  • Patent number: 6693312
    Abstract: A photo-optical transmitter assembly is produced in the following manner: a glass wafer is fixed onto a transparent submount and a V-shaped recess is subsequently created between optical prism elements using targeted sawcuts. A rod-shaped element with a reflective coating is inserted into the V-shaped recess. A laser beam from a semiconductor laser is thus deflected by 90° on the rod-shaped element with the reflective coating and traverses the submount.
