Definitions
- Designation of the invention Component housing for surface mounting of a semiconductor component
- the invention relates to a component housing with a mounting level for a surface mounting of a semiconductor component on the component surface of a printed circuit board, consisting of a chip carrier having an in particular approximately flat chip carrier surface, which consists in particular of electrically insulating material, on which chip carrier surface a semiconductor chip, preferably with an integrated electronic circuit is fastened, and the electrode carrier passing through the chip carrier and electrically connected to the semiconductor chip with a surface-mountable arrangement.
- Such a surface mounting also known as a surface mounted design (SMD) arrangement
- SMD surface mounted design
- a surface mounted design enables the application of an electronic component on a circuit board in a particularly space-saving or low-profile manner.
- the component connections are no longer inserted into holes in the printed circuit board as in plug-in assembly, but instead are placed on connection spots on the printed circuit board and soldered there.
- Components for surface mounting can be smaller than for plug-in mounting, since no more hole and soldering eye diameters determine the grid dimension of the connections.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing a component housing for surface mounting a semiconductor component on the component surface of a printed circuit board, which eliminates the use of any trim and shaping tools when populating the printed circuit board, and at the same time compensates for deflections caused by tolerances the circuit board as well as thermal or mechanical tension of the circuit board.
- the outer boundary surfaces of the chip carrier which are provided facing the component surface of the printed circuit board, that is to say toward the assembly plane, are designed such that they have a distance from the assembly plane that increases continuously from the edge region to the center region of the chip carrier.
- the assembly of the printed circuit board is cheaper because it ensures good adhesion of the placement adhesive used in the assembly, possible tolerances of the printed circuit board in the form of deflections are compensated for, and tension of a thermal or mechanical nature is counteracted, since contact of the component with the Printed circuit board is given only by the connecting legs.
- the outer boundary surfaces of the chip carrier facing the component surface of the printed circuit board have a substantially V-shaped profile in the cross section of the chip carrier as seen from the inside of the chip carrier.
- the greatest distance between the outer boundary surfaces of the chip carrier facing the component surface and the printed circuit board has a value of approximately 0.1 to approximately 0.5 mm.
- the electrode connections passing through the chip carrier and electrically connected to the semiconductor chip are designed in the form of connecting legs which are led out to at least one side, preferably to two sides, of the chip carrier and which are bent into short, rocker-shaped connecting stubs and are cut.
- the chip carrier which is made of electrically insulating material and in particular is made in one piece, has a lower part which is raised relative to the component surface of the printed circuit board and has side parts arranged on both sides of the lower part.
- the bends of the connection pins are partially or completely accommodated within the side parts of the chip carrier.
- connection pins are mechanically anchored within the component, which ultimately contributes to an increase in the electrical reliability
- the ends of the connecting pins protruding from the side parts of the chip carrier have a slight inclination with respect to the component surface of the printed circuit board, such that they extend downward from the center region of the chip carrier in the direction of the assembly plane
- the chip carrier is made in one piece from a thermoplastic material
- Figure 1 shows a schematic sectional view of a component housing according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention
- Figure 2 is a schematic overall view of the chip carrier of a component housing according to the embodiment.
- the figures show an exemplary embodiment of a component housing 1 according to the invention with a mounting level for surface mounting on the component surface 2 of a printed circuit board 3.
- the component housing 1 has an approximately flat chip carrier surface 4 having a chip carrier 5 made of electrically insulating plastic material, on which chip carrier surface 4
- Semiconductor chip 6 is fastened with an integrated pressure sensor and associated electronic circuit, the pressure sensor and the circuit not being shown in the figures, and the electrode terminals 7 penetrating the chip carrier 5 and electrically connected to the semiconductor chip 6, their ends 8 Terminal pads (not shown) are placed on the mounting surface 2 of the circuit board 3 and soldered there.
- the chip carrier 5 which is produced in particular in one piece by means of a plastic casting method known per se, comprises a lower part 9, which is raised relative to the assembly plane and consequently with respect to the mounting surface 2, on which the semiconductor chip 6 is supported, and side parts 10, 10a and 11 arranged on the sides of the lower part 9 , 11a, which form the laterally closing housing walls of the pressure sensor housing.
- the chip carrier 5 is designed in the manner shown in FIG. 1, essentially to scale, in such a way that the outer boundary surfaces 12, 13 of the chip carrier 5 facing the component surface 2 of the printed circuit board 3 continuously increase from the lower edge regions 14, 15 to the central region 16 of the chip carrier 5 Have a distance to the mounting surface 2 of the circuit board 3.
- the outer boundary surfaces 12, 13 of the chip carrier 5, seen in cross-section, have an essentially inverted V-shaped course or roof-shaped course such that the tip of the inverted V is arranged in the center, the greatest distance at this point from the circuit board a value of about 0.1 mm to about 0.5 mm.
- the electrode connections 7 m penetrating the chip carrier 5 and electrically connected to the semiconductor chip 6 are designed in the form of connecting legs which are led to at least two sides of the chip carrier 5 and which are bent and cut into short, rocker-shaped connecting stubs 17. Such an arrangement ensures the lowest overall height of the sensor component.
- the bends 18 of the connecting pins are completely accommodated within the side parts 10, 11 of the chip carrier 5, which has the advantage that the dimensions of the housing are reduced again, the size of the leadframe is reduced, and, moreover, the creepage distances for corrosive media are considerably increased
- such an arrangement enables the leadframe or the electrode connections 7 to be mechanically anchored within the housing of the component and thus an additional increase in the overall mechanical stability.
- this can be done by means of so-called trimming and shaping tools omitted, and at the same time the specified requirements for the ground clearance to be maintained are taken into account.
- the mounting must be carried out favorably, since a good adhesion of the Bestuckkleber ⁇ is ensured and over ", possible tolerances in the circuit board 3 with respect to deflections are balanced, and there is counteracted tension thermal and / or mechanical type, since a contact with the circuit board 3 is only given by the connecting legs.
- a wire contacting method can be used for the electrical connection of the pressure sensor integrated on the semiconductor chip 6 or the electronic circuit associated therewith with the electrode connections 7, in which bond wires 21 are attached to the chip on metallic chip connection locations 2la and connected to the corresponding connection Electrode legs are pulled.
- a so-called Sp der contacting can also be used for this electrical connection, in which an electrically conductive system carrier plate or a so-called lead frame is used instead of bond wires.
- the silicon integrated on the semiconductor chip 6 pressure sensor represents a so-called piezoresistive sensor, in which a thin silicon membrane is provided in the surface of the chip 6 by methods of micromechanics, which is electrically coupled with pressure-dependent resistors, which are also in the Silicon substrate are formed and are connected in a conventional manner in a bridge circuit. Also integrated in the semiconductor chip 6 is a circuit assigned to the sensor, which serves for signal processing (amplification and correction), but also for adjustment and compensation of the sensor.
- semiconductor pressure sensors on which the invention is based are primarily suitable for applications in which the smallest overall size is important. for example in the case of pressure measurements in the motor vehicle sector, for example in the measurement of brake pressures, tire pressures, combustion chamber pressures and the like.
- semiconductor pressure sensors that operate on the principle of piezoresistive pressure measurement, it also those ver ⁇ are reversible addition that work with capacitive measuring principles.
- the chip carrier 5 is designed to be open on one side on its side 22 facing away from the component surface 2 of the printed circuit board 3, and has a support means 26 on the upper edge regions 24, 25 delimiting the opening 23 for a positive mechanical, play-free Connection with a holding means of a connector (not shown in detail) which can be placed on the chip carrier 5 such that when the connector is placed on the chip carrier 5, the holding means and the support means 26 alternately engage.
- the support means 26 of the chip carrier 5 has on its outer circumference a circumferential abutment surface 29 which supports the holding means of the connecting piece. As shown, this can be designed in the form of a circumferential groove 30 on the edge region of the chip carrier 5, into which a groove 30 Outer periphery of the connector shaped spring engages at least partially.
- the chip carrier 5 is filled with a flowable filler 32 which completely covers the semiconductor chip 6 and which in particular represents a gel which transmits pressures to the semiconductor pressure sensor almost without delay and without errors.
- the gel serves on the one hand to protect the sensitive pressure sensor chip 6 and the further, in particular metallic components of the electronic component, in particular the bonding wires 21, the connecting pins 7 or the leadframe, from contact with the medium 33 to be measured, and in this way one Contamination of the component by ions or other harmful components of the medium 33, or the risk of corrosion due to the medium 33 to prevent.
- the gel 32 serves as a filling material in order to keep the dead volume between the sensor component and the attached connector as small as possible, in order to avoid falsifications or delays in the measurement of the pressure.
- the side of the connector facing the chip carrier 5 is closed with an elastic membrane.
- the membrane is able to pass on the pressure pulse of the medium supplied to the sensor without significant falsification or time delay, but prevents the risk of contamination of an endangered component by ions or other harmful parts of the medium.
- the side walls 24, 25 of the chip carrier 5, which is open on one side, can furthermore be equipped with a flow stop edge 36 arranged continuously on the inside.
- the inside of the chip carrier 5 is only filled with the gel 32 up to the level of the flow stop edge 36.
- This flow stop edge 36 enables a defined stop of the capillary forces of the adhesive gel 32 and thus prevents an undesired rising of the gel 32 beyond the housing edges due to capillary forces.
- the flow stop edge advantageously also enables the effective thickness of the flowable filler to be kept as small as possible in order not to worsen the undesirable influence on the measurement sensitivity of the pressure sensor with regard to the accelerations or pressures to be measured, which is known to decrease with increasing Geldicke.
