Abstract:
A modular construction power circuit arrangement is disclosed which comprises a thin metal plate performing holder and heat sink functions, a multiplicity of electronic devices in the form of semiconductor material chips having metalized pads as their terminals, a printed circuit board attached to the thin metal plate, electric conductors between the metalized pads and the printed circuit on the board, terminating connectors which form a part of the printed circuit board for connecting the circuit arrangement to external circuits, and a plastics material body which conglomerates a portion of the thin metal plate, the semiconductor material chips, and the printed circuit board. At least one of the semiconductor material chips is attached directly to the thin metal plate and extends therefrom through an opening in the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A packaging structure is disclosed for a semiconductor device, having a body configured to include at least one part provided with contact terminals and shaped to form a connector member for direct coupling to a standard connector member from an external circuit. A connector assembly is also disclosed which is fully sealed from moisture and comprises the packaging structure.

Abstract:
An universal connector employing a plurality of double female contacts installed with a certain clearance in receptacles of a body which may be suspended in a coupling position with a plurality of male contacts arranged on the top face of an EWS probe card and with a plurality of male contacts arranged on the bottom surface of a test card in a test-on-wafer station, provides a multicontact universal connection for any pair of so equipped cards of the inventories of probe cards and of test cards of the station. The connection is easily set up and exhibits excellent stability and uniformity characteristics of the electrical couplings, while reducing sensibly the time necessary for the setting-up and debugging of the test station for initiating a certain cycle of testing-on-wafer. The stability and reproducibility of the electrical couplings provided by the connection increases the precision of the measurements of critical parameters of the integrated devices with a positive effect on the production yield.
