  • Patent number: 11328987
    Abstract: A wafer-level packaging based module includes an antenna board and a chip board. The antenna board includes at least one antenna layer with introduced antenna element and a shielding layer with introduced shielding element in the area of the at least one antenna element opposite to the antenna layer. The chip board includes a contacting layer, a rewiring layer opposite to the contacting layer and the shielding layer having at least one shielding element arranged on the rewiring layer. A chip layer having at least one chip is arranged between the contacting layer and the rewiring layer. Further, the chip layer includes at least one via connecting the contacting layer to the rewiring layer.

  • Patent number: 10461399
    Abstract: A wafer level package with integrated antenna includes a contacting layer, a redistribution layer as well as a chip layer arranged between the contacting layer and the redistribution layer. An antenna is integrated in the redistribution layer. The antenna is shielded from the chip by means of a via, offset and provided with a reflector. Alternatively, the antenna can also be provided as antenna element in the chip layer.

  • Patent number: 10403576
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electronic component can include the following steps: providing a semiconductor arrangement comprising a carrier structure which has at least one semiconductor chip incorporated into a potting compound, and a redistribution layer which comprises a flexible material and at least one strip conductor, wherein the carrier structure at least in regions is connected to the redistribution layer, and the at least one semiconductor chip is electrically conductively connected to the redistribution layer, and separating the carrier structure along at least one trench in a manner such that the carrier structure is divided into at least two singularized carrier elements, wherein two adjacent ones of the singularized carrier elements are connected to one another over the respective trench by way of the redistribution layer.

  • Patent number: 7011989
    Abstract: A method for producing encapsulated chips includes preparing a wafer with contacts projecting from a surface of the wafer. The wafer is disposed on a dicing substrate and diced into a plurality of spaced chips on the dicing substrate. The contacts are covered with a protection arrangement, then injection molding being conducted to introduce encapsulation material into the contacts and the trenches. Then the protection arrangement is removed so that the contacts are exposed.
