The present disclosure relates to a die comprising metal pillars extending from a surface of the die, the height of each pillar being substantially equal to or greater than 20 μm, the pillars being intended to raise the die when fastening the die by means of a bonding material on a surface of a support. The metal pillars being inserted into the bonding material at which point the bonding material is annealed to be cured and hardened solidifying the bonding material to couple the die to the surface of the support.

Die with metal pillars

A method for manufacturing electronic chips includes forming, on the side of a first face of a semiconductor substrate, in and on which a plurality of integrated circuits has been formed beforehand, metallizations coupling contacts of adjacent integrated circuits to one another. The method further includes forming, on the side of the first face of the substrate, first trenches extending through the first face of the substrate and laterally separating the adjacent integrated circuits. The first trenches extend through the metallizations to form at least a portion of metallizations at each of the adjacent circuits.

Method of forming electronic chip package having a conductive layer between a chip and a support

The present disclosure provides an electronic device that includes a substrate. The substrate includes a well and a peripheral insulating wall laterally surrounding the well. At least one lateral bipolar transistor is formed in the well, and the at least one transistor has a base region extending under parallel collector and emitter regions. The peripheral insulating wall is widened in a first direction, parallel to the collector and emitter regions, so that the base region penetrates into the peripheral insulating wall.

Protection device

A semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type is coated with a semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type. A buried region of the second conductivity type is formed an interface between the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor layer. First and second wells of the first conductivity type are provided in the semiconductor layer. A second region of the second conductivity type is formed in the first well. A third region of the second conductivity type is formed in the second well. The first well, the semiconducting layer, the second well and the third region form a first lateral thyristor. The second well, the semiconductor layer, the first well and the second region form a second lateral thyristor. The buried region and semiconductor substrate form a zener diode which sets the trigger voltage for the lateral thyristors.

Device of protection against electrostatic discharges

A device of protection against electrostatic discharges is formed in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type that is coated with a semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type. A buried region of the second conductivity type is positioned at an interface between the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor layer. First and second wells of the first conductivity type are formed in the semiconductor layer and a region of the second conductivity type is formed in the second well. A stop channel region of the second conductivity type is provided in the semiconductor layer to laterally separating the first well from the second well, where no contact is present between this stop channel region and either of the first and second wells.

A device comprising a semiconductor substrate, an electrically-conductive layer covering the substrate, and an insulating sheath, the conductive layer being in contact with the insulating sheath on the side opposite to the substrate.

Electronic chip package

Electronic chip package having a support and a conductive layer on the support

A surface-mount chip is formed by a silicon substrate having a front surface and a side. The chip includes a metallization intended to be soldered to an external device. The metallization has a first portion covering at least a portion of the front surface of the substrate and a second portion covering at least a portion of the side of the substrate. A porous silicon region is included in the substrate to separating the second portion of the metallization from the rest of the substrate.

Surface-mount electronic component
