Abstract:
An electronic device where molten solder does not come into contact with a sealant so as not to destroy a sealing function. An electronic device is provided with: an insulating base mounted on a printed circuit board; a common planar terminal provided so as to extend from an outer side surface to a bottom surface edge of the insulating base, and cause electrical continuity between the outer side surface and the bottom surface edge of the insulating base; a cover fitted to the insulating base and covering the common planar terminal; and a sealant sealing a gap between the outer side surface of the insulating base and an inner circumferential surface of the cover. A solder pool is formed in a position surrounded by the printed circuit board and the common planar terminal at the bottom surface edge of the insulating base.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An arrangement may include a substrate and an electrical component. The electrical component may include a base made of an insulating material and a plurality of connection terminals. Each connection terminal is connected to a corresponding connection pad of the substrate by means of a spot of solder paste. The arrangement may further include a block interposed between the substrate and the base of the electrical component. The block may be located substantially on the axis of application of a force for actuating the electrical component and may be designed to inhibit deformation of the base. The block may include a spot of solder paste soldered to an associated conducting pad on the substrate.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor package with a solder standoff on lead pads that reach to the edge of the package (non-pullback leads). It includes encapsulating a plurality of die on a lead frame strip. The lead frame strip comprises a plurality of package sites, which further comprises a plurality of lead pads and a die pad. The method also includes forming a channel between the lead pads of nearby package sites without singulating the packages. Another step in the method includes disposing solder on the lead pads, the die pad, or the lead pads and the die pads without substantially covering the channel with solder. The manufacturing method further includes singulating the packages.
Abstract:
Improved apparatus and methods for stacking integrated circuit packages having leads are disclosed. According to one embodiment, the leads of an integrated circuit package are exposed and provided with solder balls so that corresponding leads of another integrated circuit package being stacked thereon can be electrically connected. The stacking results in increased integrated circuit density with respect to a substrate, yet the stacked integrated circuit packages are able to still enjoy having an overall thin or low profile.
Abstract:
A modified SMT (Surface Mount Technology) process is proposed for mounting an exposed-pad type of semiconductor device over a PCB (printed circuit board), which can help prevent the problem of floated soldering of the semiconductor device over the PCB. By this modified SMT process, a plurality of via holes are formed in the pad-mounting area of the printed circuit board; and a solder material is pasted over the bottom end of each of the via holes. As the semiconductor device is mounted in position over the printed circuit board, a solder-reflow process is performed on the pasted solder material so as to cause the pasted solder material to be wetted to the entire surface of the solder-wettable layer in each of the via holes, thereby allowing the solder material to reflow to the upper end of each of the via holes where the reflowed solder is also wetted to the exposed die pad of the semiconductor device, thereby securely bonding the semiconductor device to the PCB.
Abstract:
An RF-driven semiconductor chip is die-bonded to the top face of a metal plate. The semiconductor chip and the metal plate are molded together with outer leads in a plastic package in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. The metal plate is exposed at the back face of the plastic package. The metal plate is not protruding from the front and rear side faces of the plastic package. The front and rear side faces of the metal plate are flush with the front and rear side faces of the plastic package and partially exposed at the front and rear side faces of the plastic package. The front and rear portions of the plastic package are centrally formed with respective cutaway portions each in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. The top face of the metal plate is exposed in the cutaway portions formed centrally in the front and rear portions of the plastic package to form solder portions.
Abstract:
The present invention consists of an implantable device with at least one package that houses electronics that sends and receives data or signals, and optionally power, from an external system through at least one coil attached to at least one package and processes the data, including recordings of neural activity, and delivers electrical pulses to neural tissue through at least one array of multiple electrodes that are attached to the at least one package. The device is adapted to electrocorticographic (ECoG) and local field potential (LFP) signals. A brain stimulator, preferably a deep brain stimulator, stimulates the brain in response to neural recordings in a closed feedback loop. The device is advantageous in providing neuromodulation therapies for neurological disorders such as chronic pain, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression, or similar disorders. The invention and components thereof are intended to be installed in the head, or on or in the cranium or on the dura, or on or in the brain.
