Abstract:
A package is disclosed. In one example, the package includes an electronic component and an encapsulant encapsulating at least part of the electronic component. A first electrically conductive structure is arranged on one side of the electronic component, a second electrically conductive structure arranged on an opposing other side of the electronic component and being electrically coupled with the electronic component, and at least one sidewall recess at the encapsulant. The first electrically conductive structure and the second electrically conductive structure are configured to be at different electric potentials during operation of the package. The first electrically conductive structure and the second electrically conductive structure are exposed at opposing main surfaces of the encapsulant.

A solder structure and method is disclosed. In one example, the solder structure includes a solder material, and a coating which at least partially coats the solder material and is configured for protecting the solder material against solder spreading. The coating is at least partially disrupted when establishing a solder connection between the solder material and a solderable structure.
Abstract:
A method of processing chips is disclosed. In one example, the method comprises encapsulating mutually spaced chips by an encapsulant comprising a locally curable material. The encapsulated chips with the encapsulant are separated into a plurality of encapsulated chip sections by locally curing selectively portions of the encapsulant covering at least a portion of the chips without curing other portions of the encapsulant apart from the encapsulated chip sections.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a package is disclosed. In one example, the method comprises applying a metallic connection structure, which comprises a solder or sinter material, on a sacrificial carrier. An electronic component is mounted on the metallic connection structure. At least part of the electronic component and of the metallic connection structure is encapsulated. Thereafter, the sacrificial carrier is removed to thereby expose at least part of the metallic connection structure.
