  • Publication number: 20240006266
    Abstract: A method includes applying a sintering precursor material layer to each of a first surface and a second surface of a ceramic tile, and assembling a precursor assembly of a direct bonded copper (DBC) substrate by coupling a first leadframe on the sinter precursor material layer on the first surface of the ceramic tile and a second leadframe on the second surface of the sinter precursor material layer on a second surface of the ceramic tile such that the ceramic tile is disposed between the first leadframe and the second leadframe. The method further includes sinter bonding the first leadframe and the second leadframe to the ceramic tile to form a sinter bonded DBC substrate.

  • Patent number: 11721654
    Abstract: A method includes attaching semiconductor die to a carrier between copper pillars, covering with molding, backside grinding to expose first ends of the pillars and backside drain contacts of the die, and applying a layer of conductive material to electrically connect the first ends of the pillars and the backside drain contacts. The method further includes cutting grooves in the conductive material to isolate adjacent die, removing the carrier to expose second ends of the copper pillars in place in the molding, applying another layer of conductive material to electrically connect the second ends of the copper pillars and source contacts of adjacent die, singulating individual MCM packages each including a first die and a second die with a source of the first die connected to a drain of the second die via one of the copper pillars left in place in the molding.

  • Publication number: 20230246364
    Abstract: A system for attaching a terminal pin to a circuit trace on an electronic substrate. The system includes a sonotrode and a stage for holding the electronic substrate. The sonotrode is configured to direct ultrasound energy to a base region of the terminal pin placed on the circuit trace to weld the base region to the circuit trace. The system further includes a three-dimensional positioner coupled to the sonotrode. The three-dimensional positioner is configured to drive the sonotrode to lift the terminal pin from a rack and to place the terminal pin on the electronic substrate.
