Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing process by which the position of a solder connection section between a semiconductor chip and a substrate is kept coincident so as not to be shifted. SOLUTION: The substrate 3 has a surface region 4 that can be soldered, and a solder layer is arranged on the surface region 4 that can be soldered. A backside 10 of the semiconductor chip is fixed onto the solder layer. The solder layer includes a solder material 6 that can be melted repeatedly and that has vacuum-resistance. First of all, the semiconductor chip 2 is fixed on the surface region by the bonding process to manufacture the solder connection section 1. Next, the bonded solder connection section 1, which has the solder layer in a molten state, is evacuated in a vacuum-soldering furnace to achieve the solder layer that doesn't contain gaps.

The invention relates to a heat exchange device and to a method for producing said heat exchange device. The invention also relates to an arrangement of a structural component and the heat exchange device and to a method for producing said arrangement. The heat exchange device comprises at least one laminated composite comprising a layer and at least one additional layer, a fluid channel for guiding a temperature-adjusting fluid being arranged between the layer and the additional layer in such a manner that the fluid channel is delimited by the two layers and at least one of the layer comprises a plastic film. The method for producing the heat exchange device comprises the following steps: a) providing a layer having a trench, and b) laminating a plastic film onto said layer having the trench in such a manner that the fluid channel is formed. The inventive arrangement is characterized in that the heat exchange device and the structural component are positioned in relation to each other in such a manner that heat can be exchanged by heat conduction between the structural component and at least one of the layers of the laminated composite of the heat exchange device. The method for producing the heat exchange device comprises the following steps: a') providing a structural component on a substrate, and b') applying the heat exchange device in such a manner that heat conduction between the structural component and at least one of the layers of the laminated composite can take place. The heat exchange device is used for cooling a semiconductor module.

Abstract:
The method involves evenly pressing a surface area on a surface of a carrier for a semiconductor device by the action of a die (6) and a roller, where a steel plate is used as a base for the carrier. The surface area is bondable with a thin wire or a semiconductor chip is mountable on the surface area. The die and roller are loaded with ultrasonic (US), while the die or the roller acts on the surface area, where the ultrasonic has longitudinal or transversal ultrasonic waves that move the die or the roller perpendicular to the surface of the carrier. An independent claim is also included for a device for producing an even surface area on a surface of a carrier for a semiconductor device.
Abstract:
Eine Kühlvorrichtung zum Abkühlen des noch flüssigen Lotes (23) einer herzustellenden großflächigen Lötverbindung umfasst eine evakuierbare Kammer (1), eine in der evakuierbaren Kammer (1) angeordnete Halterung (2), sowie eine in der evakuierbaren Kammer (1) angeordnete Wärmesenke. In die Halterung (2) kann eine als Testkörper dienende ebene Kupferplatte (5) eingelegt werden, mit der sich die Wirkungsweise der Kühlvorrichtung testen und überprüfen lässt. Die Kupferplatte (5) weist eine ebene untere Hauptfläche (5b) auf, eine ebene obere Hauptfläche (5t), die in einer vertikalen Richtung (v) von der unteren Hauptfläche (5b) beabstandet ist, eine konstante Dicke von 5 mm, sowie eine homogene Anfangstemperatur von mindestens 220°C. Auf der oberen Hauptfläche (5t) läßt sich eine Anzahl von N ≥ 2 zwei nebeneinander liegender, rechteckiger Oberflächenabschnitte (51) mit einer Fläche von jeweils wenigstens 50 mm × 50 mm festlegen. Das Kühlen der Kupferplatte mit Hilfe der Wärmesenke kann so erfolgen, dass die Temperatur an der oberen Hauptfläche in keinem der rechteckigen Oberflächenabschnitte ein lokales Maximum aufweist, das vom Rand des betreffenden Oberflächenabschnitts beabstandet ist, und zwar so lange, bis in keinem der Oberflächenabschnitte eine Temperatur von mehr als 150°C vorliegt. Wenn das Lot bei 150°C ausreichend verfestigt ist, so liegt eine fertig gefügte Lötverbindung zwischen den Lötpartnern vor. Eine solche Kühlvorrichtung läßt sich in eine Lötanlage integrieren.
