    Abstract: A device such as a dosimeter for detecting ionizing radiation, for example, X-ray radiation, in hospitals or the like. The device includes scintillator material configured to produce light as a result of radiation interacting with the scintillator material, and photoelectric conversion circuitry optically coupled to the scintillator material and configured to produce electrical signals via photoelectric conversion of light produced by the scintillator material. The device includes a plurality of photoelectric converters optically coupled with the scintillator material at spatially separated locations. The plurality of photoelectric converters thus produce respective electrical signals by photoelectric conversion of light produced by the scintillator material as a result of radiation interacting with the scintillator material. Improved energy linearity is thus facilitated while providing more efficient detection over the whole energy spectrum of radiation detected.

    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a multi-die semiconductor device, a metal leadframe includes a die pad and electrically-conductive leads arranged around the die pad. First and second semiconductor dice are arranged on the die pad. A laser-activatable material is disposed on the dice and leads, and a set of laser-activated lines is patterned, including a first subset coupling selected bonding pads of the dice to selected leads, a second subset coupling selected bonding pads amongst themselves, and a third subset coupling the lines in the second subset to at least one line in the first subset. A first metallic layer is deposited onto the laser-activated lines to provide first, second and third subsets of electrically-conductive lines. A second metallic layer is selectively deposited onto the first and second subsets by electroplating to provide first and second subsets of electrically-conductive tracks. The electrically-conductive lines in the third subset are selectively removed.

    Abstract: A leadframe has a die pad area and an outer layer of a first metal having a first oxidation potential. The leadframe is placed in contact with a solution containing a second metal having a second oxidation potential, the second oxidation potential being more negative than the first oxidation potential. Radiation energy is then applied to the die pad area of the leadframe contacted with the solution to cause a local increase in temperature of the leadframe. As a result of the temperature increase, a layer of said second metal is selectively provided at the die pad area of the leadframe by a galvanic displacement reaction. An oxidation of the outer layer of the leadframe is then performed to provide an enhancing layer which counters device package delamination.

    Abstract: An embodiment of a method and an apparatus for manufacturing lead frames are described. For example, a coating layer is formed on one or more predefined portions of the surface of the substrate of the lead frame by delimiting the predefined portions by means of screen printing. The employment of screen printing may allow obtaining large amounts of lead frames with excellent electronic and structural properties in a quick and cost-effective way.
