Patent number: 11756857Abstract: An electronic circuit has three circuit carriers and two semiconductor components. A first semiconductor component contacts with its upper side an underside of a first circuit carrier, and with its underside an upper side of a second circuit carrier. The first circuit carrier has vias, with a first via connecting the first semiconductor component to a first conducting path and a second via connecting a connection element forming a second conducting path providing an integral connection between the circuit carriers. A second semiconductor component contacts the underside of the first circuit carrier and is electrically connected to the first or second conducting path. An underside of the second semiconductor component contacts an upper side of the third circuit carrier. A lateral thermal expansion coefficient of the first circuit carrier is greater than a lateral thermal expansion coefficient of both the second and the third circuit carrier.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Thomas Bigl, Alexander Hensler, Stephan Neugebauer, Stefan Pfefferlein

Patent number: 10998249Abstract: A semiconductor assembly includes a semiconductor element having contacts on a first surface electrically connected with contacts of a carrier element by electrically conductive material. A second surface opposite the first surface has a convex curvature with a first radius or a concave curvature with a second radius. The second surface of the convex curvature or the second surface of the concave curvature is connected in a positive-fit manner to a cooling body surface of a concave cooling body curvature of the cooling body, and, during operation at a selected barrier layer temperature, the first radius of the convex curvature deviates by at most 10% from a third radius of the concave cooling body curvature, or the second radius of the concave curvature deviates by at most 10% from a fourth radius of the convex cooling body curvature.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Stefan Pfefferlein, Thomas Bigl, Ewgenij Ochs
