  • Patent number: 6836953
    Abstract: In a biometric sensor and a method for its production, a sensor chip is provided with connecting contacts in the form of electrically conductive bumps. The sensor chip is inserted into a chip housing, the bumps making contact with corresponding connecting leads belonging to the chip housing. At the same time as this contact is made, the sensor chip is bonded adhesively into the chip housing by an adhesive layer, which surrounds the sensor field in a sealing manner.

  • Patent number: 6630727
    Abstract: A modularly expandable semiconductor component includes at least one carrier layer, at least one intermediate layer, at least one coverlayer, at least one semiconductor chip, external contacts and a conductor configuration. The intermediate layer is provided with at least one opening, into which the at least one semiconductor chip is inserted. The carrier layer, the intermediate layer and the coverlayer are connected one above another and form a submodule. If a plurality of submodules are installed above one another, a semiconductor component is provided in which the semiconductor chips are located in several mutually overlying planes. The semiconductor chips can be interconnected. A method for producing a semiconductor component is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6462407
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic device having a multiplicity of contact bumps and an intermediate support. In this case, the intermediate support connects the multiplicity of contact bumps to contact areas of a semiconductor chip via a multiplicity of flat conductors which have contact connecting lugs exposed in a bonding channel window of the intermediate support. The contact areas are configured in the bonding channel window via the bonded contact connecting lugs of the flat conductors. The width of the bonding channel window is increasingly greater with increasing distance from the neutral point of the semiconductor chip.

  • Patent number: 6312962
    Abstract: A method for COB mounting of electronic chips on a circuit board includes contact connection of connecting wires and substantially whole-area adhesive bonding of a housing. A chip is partially adhesively bonded on a circuit board in such a way that the chip can be contact-connected and can be removed again without damage to the circuit board. Electronic tests or a burn-in process is performed on the chip. The chip, with a given functionality in a manner that is required for application of the circuit board, is fully adhesively bonding.
