Patents by Inventor Thomas LOEHER

Thomas LOEHER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10903560
    Abstract: A module unit includes a carrier substrate, an antenna substrate as well as sealants. The carrier substrate includes a chip arranged on a first main surface as well as a spacer arranged on the first main surface. The antenna substrate includes at least one antenna structure. The sealants hermetically seal off the antenna substrate and the carrier substrate in an edge area and connect same to each other. The antenna substrate is connected to the carrier substrate via the spacer, so that a cavity is formed between the chip and the antenna substrate.

  • Publication number: 20180040562
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic, in particular power-electronic module (28) with a first layer composite (1) which comprises an inner, electrically insulating layer (4), into which one or more semiconductor elements (2, 3) are embedded in a manner such that they are covered at least on their upper side and lower side by the material of the inner layer (4), wherein the first layer composite (1) comprises a metallisation on the lower side and/or upper side, and with a second layer component (9) which on the one hand comprises an electrically insulating layer which faces the first layer composite, as well as comprises a layer which is away from the first layer composite and which has a higher thermal conductivity than that of the electrically insulating layer which faces the first layer composite, or on the other hand comprises a layer whose material electrically insulates and has a higher thermal conductivity than the embedded, unfilled material of the inner layer of the first layer composite, wherein th

  • Patent number: 8861220
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating an electronic system for application to freeform surfaces, a method for producing freeform surfaces having an electronic system, and an electronic system and a combination of a freeform surface having at least one such system. According to the invention, an elastic interconnect device having an elastic substrate and an elastic, fanned-out contact structure with contact surfaces comprised of conductor lines is generated first. Then, electronic components are mounted on the interconnect device. Finally, the interconnect device is encapsulated. If a freeform surface with an electronic system is to be generated, the electronic system produced in this way is then mounted on the previously provided freeform surface.

  • Patent number: 8654536
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of an expandable circuit carrier in which a starting material for an expandable substrate is applied on an electrically conductive foil which forms an expandable substrate layer which is connected to the foil, after which the foil is structured such that it forms a conductor structure having at least one expandable strip conductor. The present invention further relates to an expandable circuit carrier which can be produced by the method.
