Publication number: 20100283138Abstract: A nickel-based material is used on one or both wafers to be bonded, and the two wafers are bonded at low temperature and pressure through interdiffusion of the nickel-based material with either another nickel-based material or aluminum. In various embodiments, nickel-based walls are formed on one wafer, and corresponding walls are formed on the other wafer from a nickel-based material or aluminum. The walls of the two wafers are placed in contact with one another under sufficient pressure and temperature to cause bonding of the walls through interdiffusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2009Publication date: November 11, 2010Applicant: ANALOG DEVICES, INC.Inventors: Li Chen, Kuang L.

Patent number: 7825506Abstract: A semiconductor module and a method for producing the same is disclosed. In one embodiment, the semiconductor module has adjacent regions on a common wiring substrate in a common plastic housing composition. The regions are thermally decoupled by a thermal barrier. Semiconductor chips whose evolution of heat loss differs are arranged in these thermally separate regions, the thermal barrier ensuring that the function of the more thermally sensitive semiconductor chip is not impaired by the heat-loss-generating semiconductor chip.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2006Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Erich Syri, Gerold Gruendler, Juergen Hoegerl, Thomas Killer, Volker Strutz

Publication number: 20100219521Abstract: A window-type semiconductor package is revealed, primarily comprising a substrate with an interconnection channel, a chip on the substrate, a die-attach adhesive between the chip and the substrate, and an encapsulant filling the interconnection channel. A first solder mask formed on the top surface of the substrate has a specific pattern. The die-attach adhesive bonds the active surface of the chip to the first solder mask with the bonding pads of the chip aligned inside the interconnection channel. The first solder mask has an opening to expose the interconnection channel and further to form an indentation from the interconnection channel to expose the top surface to prevent damaging of the active surface of the chip adjacent to the edges of the interconnection channel to ensure the integrity and yield of the final products.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2009Publication date: September 2, 2010Inventors: Kuo-Yuan LEE, Yung-Hsiang Chen, Wen-Chun Chiu
