  • Patent number: 10879583
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a support plate having a mounting face and an electrical connection network. An integrated circuit chip is mounted on the mounting face and linked to the electrical connection network. An encapsulation block embeds the integrated circuit chip. An additional element made of an electrically conductive material is at least partly embedded within the encapsulation block. The additional conductive element has a main portion extending parallel to the support plate and has a secondary portion that is linked electrically to the integrated circuit chip. An opening is formed in the encapsulation block, and the secondary portion extends into that opening to make the electrical link. The additional conductive element may be an antenna.

  • Patent number: 9402331
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a substrate wafer made of an insulating material and having an electrical connection network. An integrated circuit chip is mounted to a top side of the substrate wafer. The substrate wafer contains an internal duct. The duct is formed by a covered trench located in the top side of the substrate wafer. The trench contains a thermally conductive material, for example being a fluid. Openings in the top side of the substrate wafer that are offset from the trench permit the making of an electrical connection between the integrated circuit and the electrical connection network.

  • Patent number: 9029928
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a wafer having a frontside and a backside. The wafer is formed from at least one integrated circuit chip having an electrical connection frontside co-planar with the wafer frontside and a backside co-planar with the wafer backside. A passive component including at least one conductive plate and a dielectric plate is positioned adjacent the integrated circuit chip. An encapsulation block embeds the integrated circuit chip and the passive component, the block having a frontside co-planar with the wafer frontside and a backside co-planar with the wafer backside. An electrical connection is made between the electrical connection frontside and the passive component.
