A device can be used for applying a cooling element onto a module. The cooling element has a first side part and a second side part opposite the first side part. The first and second side parts are connected by a region. The device includes a spreader, which is adapted to spread apart the first and second side parts by mechanical pressure action on mutually opposite sides of the first and second side parts, so as to be able to guide a predetermined region of the module between the first and second side parts.

Assembly device and assembly method for a cooling element

One aspect of the invention relates to a semiconductor device including a housing and a semiconductor chip partly embedded in a plastic housing composition. Another aspect relates to a method for producing the same. The plastic housing composition has at least one host component having a softening temperature and an incorporated component having a phase change temperature. In this case, the softening temperature of the host component is greater than the phase change temperature of the incorporated component.

Semiconductor device comprising a housing and a semiconductor chip partly embedded in a plastic housing composition, and method for producing the same

The present invention provides a method for connection of an integrated circuit (), in particular of a chip, a wafer or a hybrid, to a substrate (), which has the following steps: provision of an elastic intermediate layer () on the integrated circuit () and/or the substrate (); structuring of the elastic layer () in raised areas () and recessed areas (); and connection of the substrate () and of the integrated circuit () via the structured elastic intermediate layer (). The invention likewise provides a corresponding circuit arrangement.

Method for connection of an integrated circuit to a substrate, and a corresponding circuit arrangement

An electronic component includes a base and a chip attached to the base by a plurality of adhesive pads that are spaced apart from one another and are arranged in an intermediate space between the chip and the base. The chip is electrically connected to interconnects of the base. The adhesive pads are partitioned in a regular distribution over the entire surface area of the chip. A molding compound surrounds the chip and is disposed in the intermediate space between the chip and the base.

Method for mounting a chip on a base and arrangement produced by this method

The invention, which relates to an electronic component with a semiconductor chip, which is connected to a carrier substrate and surrounded by a housing, is based on presenting a substrate-based, housed electronic component, which enables the continuous release of the internal vapor pressure arising when the electronic component is heated, and at the same time can be produced inexpensively using the known and tried-and-tested methods and materials. According to embodiments of the invention, this is achieved by virtue of the fact that the carrier substrate comprises a plurality of hollow vias open on both sides, which vias are distributed areally in at least one section of the carrier substrate that is covered by the housing.

A connecting element for electrically connecting a semiconductor chip and a superordinate circuit board includes an elastic metal strip that is bent forming two metal limbs with flattened limb ends, thus forming a base between the metal limbs which is suitable for contacting and providing electrical connectivity to a plurality of contact pads of a superordinate circuit board. At least one of the two limb ends is electrically connected to the contact areas of a semiconductor chip, while the other limb end is elastically supported on the top side of the semiconductor chip, thereby enabling the connecting element to be self supporting.

Self-supporting connecting element for a semiconductor chip

The invention relates to an electronic device having a stack of semiconductor chips, and to a method for the production thereof. A first semiconductor chip is arranged on a rewiring substrate, and at least one semiconductor stack chip is arranged on the first semiconductor chip. A rewiring plane is arranged between the semiconductor chips. The contact areas of the semiconductor chips are connected to external contacts of the device by the rewiring plane and the rewiring substrate.
