Abstract
An electronic device can include a top side with circuit structures. The circuit structures form the bottom region of a cavity. Each cavity can be surrounded by a cavity frame made of plastic and can have a cavity cover made of semiconductor material.
Claims14
A Method for producing electronic devices with a cavity above a surface region of a semiconductor chip comprising:
- providing a semiconductor wafer with semiconductor chip positions which have circuit structures to be provided with cavities in predetermined surface regions;
- applying of a patterned plastic layer to the top side of the semiconductor wafer, with the circuit structures to be provided with cavities being left free and with the formation of cavity frames;,
- applying a first adhesive film to the rear side of the semiconductor wafer, and precrosslinking of the adhesive film;
- separating the semiconductor wafer into first semiconductor chips with adhering adhesive film;
- applying the semiconductor chips to a metal frame for flat-conductor-free housings with adhesive bonding of the semiconductor chip and curing of the adhesive film on the rear side of the semiconductor chips;
- producing bonding connections between contact areas on the top side of the semiconductor chip and inner areas of external contacts of the metal frame;
- covering the cavity frames with semiconductor chips which have an adhesive film on respective rear sides;
- packaging the semiconductor chips in a housing plastics composition;
- and
- separating the metal frame into individual electronic devices.
