摘要: The disclosure is directed to wide band-gap semiconductor devices, such as power devices based on silicon carbide or gallium nitride materials. A power device die is attached to a carrier substrate or a base using sintered silver as a die attachment material or layer. The carrier substrate is, in some embodiments, copper plated with silver. The sintered silver die attachment layer is formed by sintering silver nanoparticle paste under a very low temperature, for example, lower than 200° C. and in some embodiments at about 150° C., and with no external pressures applied in the sintering process. The silver nanoparticle is synthesized through a chemical reduction process in an organic solvent. After the reduction process has completed, the organic solvent is removed through evaporation with a flux of inert gas being injected into the solution.

摘要: 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.

摘要: A system-on-chip includes a processor, a memory and a memory interface coupled to the processor and to the memory. The processor, in operation, generates memory access requests. The memory includes one or more physical banks divided into a succession of sectors, each sector having a size equal to a smallest erasable size of the memory. The memory interface, in operation, responds to receiving memory configuration information by storing logical memory bank configuration information in the one or more configuration registers, the logical memory bank configuration information assigning each sector of the one or more physical banks of the memory to a respective logical memory bank of one or more logical memory banks. The memory interface, in operation, controls access to the memory by the processor based on the logical memory bank configuration information stored in the one or more configuration registers.

摘要: A processing system includes a communication system and a processing core configured to generate write requests. A circuit has associated a slave interface circuit configured to manage an address sub-range and selectively forward write requests addressed to a given address. Configuration data specifies whether the given address is protected/unprotected and locked/unlocked. In response to a received write request, address and data are extracted and a determination based on the configuration data is made as to whether the extracted address is protected/unprotected, and locked/unlocked. When the extracted address is unprotected or unlocked, the slave interface forwards the write request. When the extracted address is protected and locked, the slave interface generates an unlock signal in response to a comparison of the extracted address with the extracted data, with the unlock signal being asserted when the extracted data satisfy a predetermined rule with respect to the extracted address.

摘要: A charge-balance power device includes a semiconductor body having a first conductivity type. A trench gate extends in the semiconductor body from a first surface toward a second surface. A body region has a second conductivity type that is opposite the first conductivity type, and the body region faces the first surface of the semiconductor body and extends on a first side and a second side of the trench gate. Source regions having the first conductivity type extend in the body region and face the first surface of the semiconductor body. A drain terminal extends on the second surface of the semiconductor body. The device further comprises a first and a second columnar region having the second conductivity, which extend in the semiconductor body adjacent to the first and second sides of the trench gate, and the first and second columnar regions are spaced apart from the body region and from the drain terminal.
