摘要:
A method for assembling a whole semiconductor wafer (101) with a plurality of device units (120) having metal contact pads. Each contact pad has a patterned barrier metal layer and a metal stud (103, preferably copper or nickel) with an outer surface suitable to form metallurgical bonds without melting. A leadframe suitable for the whole wafer is provided, which has a plurality of segments groups (102), each group suitable for one device unit; each segment has first (102a) and second ends (102b) covered by solderable metal. A predetermined amount of solder paste (104) is placed on each of the first segment ends. The leadframe is then aligned with the wafer so that each of the paste-covered segment ends is aligned with the corresponding metal stud of the respective device unit. The leadframe is connected to the wafer and the whole wafer is encapsulated (105) so that the device units and the first segment ends are covered, while the second segment ends remain exposed. The encapsulated wafer is separated (110) into individual device units (120).

A semiconductor device comprising a metallic leadframe (103) with a first surface (103a) and a second surface (103b). The leadframe includes a chip pad (104) and a plurality of segments (107); the chip pad is held by a plurality of straps (105), wherein each strap has a groove (106). A chip (101) is mounted on the chip pad and electrically connected to the segments. A heat spreader (110) is disposed on the first surface of the leadframe; the heat spreader has its central portion (110a) spaced above the chip connections (108), and also has positioning members (110b) extending outwardly from the edges of the central portion so that they rest in the grooves of the straps. Encapsulation material surrounds the chip, the electrical connections, and the spreader positioning members, and fills the space between the spreader and the chip, while leaving the second leadframe surface and the central spreader portion exposed.

The invention provides thermally enhanced BGAs and methods for their fabrication with a ground ring suitable for operably coupling to either the frontside or backside, or both, of an IC chip mounted on a substrate. The methods and devices of the invention disclosed include the fabrication of a ground ring on the surface of a BGA substrate prepared for receiving the frontside of the chip. A heat spreader has ground ring corresponding to substrate round ring and is attached at the backside of the chip with a conductive material. A conductive material is interposed between the heat spreader and substrate ground rings, electrically coupling them. Thus, the backside of the chip may be electrically connected to the ground ring as well as, or instead of, the frontside.

A bipolar transistor is formed in an integrated BiCMOS process. A buried layer is formed in a semiconductor body. An intrinsic dilute mask is formed over the buried layer that covers at least a portion of a selected region of a target deep well region. The intrinsic dilute mask is employed to implant a dopant into the target deep well region to form a deep well region with the selected region having a lowered dopant concentration. The lowered dopant concentration can yield a higher breakdown voltage for the bipolar device. The intrinsic dilute mask mitigates implantation within the selected region.

A transistor apparatus includes a silicon substrate and a barrier structure extending substantially from generally adjacent the silicon substrate to a locus displaced from the silicon substrate. The barrier structure generally surrounds a volume containing connection loci for the transistor apparatus and a buried layer in a silicon medium. The connection loci and the buried layer occupy a space generally presenting a first lateral expanse generally parallel with the silicon substrate. The volume presents a second lateral expanse generally parallel with the silicon substrate. The second lateral expanse is greater than the first lateral expanse within a predetermined distance of the substrate.

System and method for limiting an output signal of a differential amplifier. A preferred embodiment comprises a limit sense amplifier configured to detect when the output exceeds a permitted limit, a common mode bias current unit configured to increase a signal gain of a common mode amplifier in the differential operational amplifier when the limit sense amplifier detects that the output exceeded the permitted limit, and an output stage bias current unit configured to fix the output at a level substantially equal to the specified limit when the limit sense amplifier detects that the output exceeded the permitted limit. The clamping is achieved by changing the operation of circuitry within the differential amplifier and results in a smoother clamping that helps to maintain stable operation.

The present invention provides a system for providing a cross-lateral junction field effect transistor (114) having desired high-performance desired voltage, frequency or current characteristics. The cross-lateral transistor is formed on a commercial semiconductor substrate (102). A channel structure (124) is formed along the substrate, having source (120) and drain (122) structures laterally formed on opposites sides thereof. A first gate structure (116) is formed along the substrate, laterally adjoining the channel structure orthogonal to the source and drain structures. A second gate structure (118) is formed along the substrate, laterally adjoining the channel structure, orthogonal to the source and drain structures and opposite the first gate structure.
