Abstract:
A chip carrier produced by injection moulding from an aromatic thermoplastic polymer has a relief pattern in a die attachment site (8). The relief pattern isolates an attached die from the thermally induced strains when the carrier is attached to a circuit board. In further features, the chip carrier includes a body (1) having a central region and sidewalls (3) connected to the central region by an elastically deformable region (33), in order to further reduce thermal strains. Also for the same reason a heat sink (41) may be attached underneath the carrier below the carrier's die attachment site (8) and thermally conductive material (40, 42) may connect them together. The heat sink may be used for mechanical anchorage.
Abstract:
A connection structure between lead frames (3) and a base plate (1) of aluminum nitride, to be applied as a connection structure between components of a semiconductor apparatus, comprises the base plate formed of a sintered body of aluminum nitride on which a semiconductor device is to be mounted, the lead frames including, as a main material, iron alloy containing nickel in 29 wt.% and cobalt in 17 wt.%, and silver solder (9) for joining the base plate and the lead frames. A surface of the lead frame to be joined to the base plate is formed of oxygen-free copper of a high plastic deformativity to relieve, by plastic deformation of itself, a thermal stress caused by a difference between a thermal expansion coefficient of the base plate and that of the lead frame in a cooling process at the time of soldering. Preferably, only a portion of each lead frame (3) to be joined to the base plate comprises an inner layer portion of iron alloy containing nickel in 29 wt.% and cobalt in 17 wt.%, and an outer layer portion of oxygen-free copper.
Abstract:
A surface mount contact interposes between a mounted conductor and a pressing conductive member to make the mounted conductor conductive to the pressing conductive member when the mounted conductor and the pressing conductive member are proximate to each other. The surface mount contact includes: a base portion solderable to the mounted conductor; a movable portion elastically deformable according to a distance between the mounted conductor and the pressing conductive member, at least a part of the movable portion being closer to the base portion when the movable portion elastically deforms; and an insulating coating film provided in a region where the movable portion is closer to the base portion and inhibiting electric contact between the movable portion and the base portion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic component. The electronic component 2 has an electrical assembly 3 having two electrical connections 4, 5 that are each formed on opposing faces of the assembly. For each connection 4, 5, the component has at least one electrically conductive connection element 9, 10 having a mounting foot 14, 15 for connection to a circuit carrier 22. According to the invention, the connection element 8, 9 has at least two metal layers 10, 11, 12, 13 at least on one section, wherein the metal layers are each formed from different metals and integrally connected to one another. Preferably, one metal layer 12, 13 from the metal layers has greater thermal conductivity than the other metal layer 10, 11.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a press-in pin (10) having a main body and a coating which covers the main body at least in some sections. In order to provide a press-in pin with a lead-free coating which avoids or substantially minimises whisker growth, 30 to 72 % by mass of the coating consists of silver and/or copper and/or bismuth (alloy metals), the rest being tin and impurities.
