Abstract

Abstract The present invention concerns the mounting of two semiconductor components within a single or common housing. When two semiconductor components are always connected according to the same wiring diagram one presents them within a single housing in which their intrinsic connection has already been achieved. When one of the two components is produced from small-sized semiconductor chip the invention proposes replacing this first semiconductor chip by a wholly mounted component. Thereby it allows first of all to verify the integrity of this component and to dispose, furthermore, of an element whose dimensions now allow easy handling. This component is thus utilized in its finished state to replace one of the connections bridges of the electrodes of the second component to a pin of the housing in which this component must be installed. That means that in the manufacturing process of the second component, nothing is changed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 100 words
Electronic component incorporating two semiconductor components within a common housing, this common housing having at least two outlet connector pins, one of which is electrically connected to a rear face of a first semiconductor chip in order to form a first component, this first chip furthermore comprising at least one first metallized zone on its front face wherein the second component is constituted by a semiconductor chip encapsulated within a sealed housing provided with two outlet electrodes and wherein one of these electrodes is welded to the said metallized zone whereas the other is welded to the second connector pin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 100 words
Electronic component incorporating two semiconductor components within a common housing, this common housing having at least two outlet connector pins, one of which is electrically connected to a rear face of a first semiconductor chip in order to form a first component, this first chip furthermore comprising at least one first metallized zone on its front face wherein the second component is constituted by a semiconductor chip encapsulated within a sealed housing provided with two outlet electrodes and wherein one of these electrodes is welded to the said metallized zone whereas the other is welded to the second connector pin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
Component according to claim 1, wherein the first metallized zone is disposed at the periphery of the front face of the first chip.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
An electronic component according to claim 1, wherein said outlet connector pins include a camber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 36 words
An electronic component according to claims 1 or 3, comprising: said second semiconductor chip mounted upon a respective pin substantially on the same height as said first semiconductor chip is mounted on another of said pins.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 50 words
