  • Patent number: 7235873
    Abstract: A protective device for subassemblies having a substrate and at least one component to be protected which is disposed on the substrate includes at least one covering element for covering a subassembly. An expanded filler material fills at least one given space between the substrate and the covering element and provides protection against mechanical compression. A method of producing a protective device is also provided. An expandable material is applied to the substrate and is expanded after the covering element has been mounted.

  • Patent number: 6927487
    Abstract: A protective device is provided for subassemblies having a substrate and a component disposed thereon and needing to be protected. The component typically is a semiconductor component. The protective device includes a covering element, a spacer, and a guide. The covering element covers a subassembly. The spacer is disposed between the covering element and the substrate for maintaining a predefined spacing between the covering element and the component to be protected in the area of the spacer. The guide is used for fixing a free end of the spacer to the covering element and/or to the substrate in a predefined X and/or Y position.

  • Patent number: 6872594
    Abstract: The electronic component has semiconductor chips that are stacked on one another. On their active top sides, the chips having interconnects for rewiring to contact areas through contacts formed on the sawn edges of the semiconductor chip. The electronic components of overlying and underlying semiconductor chips are thus connected to one another via the through contacts.

  • Patent number: 6851598
    Abstract: An electronic component with at least one semiconductor chip and a wiring layer are described. The wiring layer has elastic contact elements of low mechanical strength in the spatial directions x, y and z, which can be electrically connected to corresponding contact terminal areas of a printed circuit board. The semiconductor chip or the wiring layer additionally has at least two spacers for the mechanical connection to a printed circuit board. A method for producing the electronic component is also described.

  • Patent number: 6815613
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic component with external connection elements and to a method of electrically connecting and/or fixing an electronic component to a printed-circuit board. For this purpose, the electronic component has capillary elements as external connection elements, which are connected to contact connection areas of a leadframe or to contact areas of a chip. The capillary element protrudes out of the electronic component and has, on its protruding end, a suction opening with capillary action.

  • 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.
