An electrical power component is provided with electrodes including, on one of the faces of the component, a single electrode, the electrodes being connectable by brazing to an electrical connection support by means of an electrical and thermal connection plate.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit package has a printed circuit board, a die mounted on the printed circuit board, and a heat spreader attached to the printed circuit board to cover the die and contact with the backside of the die. The heat spreader is formed by a piece body and a plurality of supporting leads extended downward from the periphery of the piece body. The supporting leads of the heat spreader are attached to the printed circuit board by surface mounting technology. The piece body of the heat spreader abuts on the backside of the die so that heat from the die can be conducted both upward to the outer environment and downward to the printed circuit board through the heat spreader, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device having a die paddle and a die disposed on the die paddle. The die paddle serves as a heat dissipation device and the die paddle is partially and/or fully encapsulated by a package body. Thermal posts extend from the die paddle to direct heat from the semiconductor device to a printed circuit board and further provide stability and alignment during placement of the semiconductor device on the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A thin dielectric substrate bearing a plurality of conductive leads has a hole circumscribed by the substrate in which is positioned a die having pads that are bonded to ends of leads carried by the substrate and projecting into the hole for contact with the die pads. The leads include free outer ends that project laterally outwardly and downwardly away from the plane of the substrate for connection to contact pads on a circuit board. The free leads are isolated from pressure applied to the chip on tape assembly after it has been connected to a circuit board by means of a thin self-supporting thermally conductive heat spreader that contacts the side of the die opposite its pads and includes fixed standoff and/or alignment pins that extend through alignment holes in the thin substrate and are in physical contact with a surf ace of the printed circuit board. The arrangement enables transfer of force applied to the heat spreader directly to the circuit board, thereby isolating the die, thin substrate and its fragile free leads from forces applied to the die and/or the heat spreader.
Abstract:
An electrical device for logic circuits having a package comprising a combination of controlled collapse electrical interconnections, such as solder balls and pin through-hole conductors, wherein the conductors are disposed outside the perimeter of an inter-array of solder balls, which when a maximum number of solder balls are disposed, the array is circular in shape, so as to provide an increased footprint for the electrical device beyond that, otherwise maximum footprint for solder balls alone, which footprint is otherwise limited in size due to failures which occur in solder balls when solder balls are exposed to thermal and mechanical stress levels at extended distances from the neutral or zero stress point of the array.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a predetermined number of surface mount first lead pins (14), arranged around the periphery of the underside of a package (13) fitted with a chip (11). A predetermined number of second lead pins (22, 41), each having a specific function, are provided in a region near the center of the underside of the package (13) inside of the region populated with the first lead pins (14).
Abstract:
A circuit board with electrical components in which the components are inserted with their insulated bodies into through bores of the circuit board, slightly protruding from the underside and top of the board, and having contact surfaces which are soldered to a strip conductor. The lower ends of the components terminate in a hemispherical cup or rounded conical tip and have at least one lower contact surface protruding into the strip conductor and soldered to it. The upper ends of the components comprise a plurality of upper contact surfaces insulated from each other and connected to a plurality of contact elements protruding from the component body. The contact elements are connected at a distance around the bores to the strip conductor on top of the circuit board by soldering paste.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for mounting a circuit component such as a gate array device 12 on a printed circuit board 14. The component 12 may include a plurality of pin-type electrical contacts 18 wherein a first portion of the pin-type contacts 18 have been replaced by button-type contacts. In one embodiment, at least two of the pin-type contacts 22, 24 have been retained and serve the dual purpose of locating the gate array device 12 on the printed circuit board 14 and attaching the gate array device 12 to the printed circuit board 14. A sheet of boron nitride 26 is positioned between the printed circuit board 14 and the circuit component, e.g., the gate array device 12. The sheet of boron nitride 26 includes a plurality of openings extending therethrough in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of electrical contacts 18 on the gate array device 12. The openings 32 in the sheet of boron nitride 26 that correspond to the button-type contacts have resilient electrical contacts 34 disposed therein. The printed circuit board 14 includes a plurality of pad-type contacts 40 disposed on a surface thereof in a pattern corresponding to the button-type contacts of the gate array device 12.
