Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor package includes a die paddle and a protection device disposed over the die paddle. The protection device includes a first heat generating zone disposed in a substrate. The first heat generating zone is disposed at a first side facing the die paddle. A solder layer at the first heat generating zone joins the protection device with the die paddle.
Abstract:
An electrical device includes a semiconductor material. The semiconductor material includes a first region of the semiconductor material having a first conductivity type, a second region of the semiconductor material having a second conductivity type complementary to the first conductivity type and an intermediate region of the semiconductor material between the first region and the second region. The first and second regions lie next to each other the intermediate region so as to form a diode structure. A shape of the intermediate region tapers from the first region to the second region.
