Abstract

Abstract A process for encapsulating microelectronic hybrid semi-conductor circuits or microelectronic semi-conductor components in which the components, located on a substrate, receive a soft, sealable poured-on plastic coating, are covered with a plastic/metal composite film or foil and are, if necessary, then encapsulated with a hard synthetic resin sealing compound which is resistant to thermal shock. The external plastic layers of the film or foil combine with the filler or sealing compound and thus form an encapsulation which is temperature and moisture resistant.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 164 words
A process for encapsulating microelectronic hybrid semi-conductor circuits or microelectronic semi-conductor components, comprising the following steps: pour-coating the components (B) located on a substrate (S) with a soft, sealable plastic filling layer (W) to form an intermediate embedded product in which said component is hermetically enclosed on said substrate, covering said intermediate product with a plastic-metal-plastic composite film or foil (F) comprising three layers, of which a first plastic layer comprises a sealable polyolefin, preferably polypropylene, with a layer thickness of 10-100μ, of which a second layer comprises a deformable metal with a layer thickness of 0.25-250μ, and of which a third layer comprises an adhesive polyester with a layer thickness of 1-100μ, and then encapsulating the pour-coated and covered component with synthetic resin (H) so that the first plastic layer of the film or foil is connected and intimately bonded to the sealable plastic filling layer (W) and so that the third layer is connected and intimately bonded to the synthetic resin (H).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 164 words
A process for encapsulating microelectronic hybrid semi-conductor circuits or microelectronic semi-conductor components, comprising the following steps: pour-coating the components (B) located on a substrate (S) with a soft, sealable plastic filling layer (W) to form an intermediate embedded product in which said component is hermetically enclosed on said substrate, covering said intermediate product with a plastic-metal-plastic composite film or foil (F) comprising three layers, of which a first plastic layer comprises a sealable polyolefin, preferably polypropylene, with a layer thickness of 10-100μ, of which a second layer comprises a deformable metal with a layer thickness of 0.25-250μ, and of which a third layer comprises an adhesive polyester with a layer thickness of 1-100μ, and then encapsulating the pour-coated and covered component with synthetic resin (H) so that the first plastic layer of the film or foil is connected and intimately bonded to the sealable plastic filling layer (W) and so that the third layer is connected and intimately bonded to the synthetic resin (H).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 46 words
