Abstract:
A dielectric structure is formed by a molding process, so that a first surface (32, 432) of a dielectric structure is shaped by contact with the mold. The opposite second surface (34, 434) of the dielectric structure is applied onto the front surface of a wafer element (38, 438). The dielectric structure may include protruding bumps (30, 130, 230) and terminals (44, 144, 244) may be formed on the bumps. The bumps may be of a precise height. The terminals lie at a precisely controlled height above the front surface of the wafer element. The terminals may include projecting posts (213, 413) which extend above a surrounding solder mask layer (248, 448) to facilitate engagement with a test fixture. The posts are immersed within solder joints (274) when the structure is bonded to a circuit panel.
Abstract:
A decoupling device (10) includes a plurality of capacitors having different capacitances (14, 16, 18) physically mounted in a package (12, 212), and terminals including at least one first terminal (24, 224) and at least one second terminal (26, 226) adapted for mounting the package to a circuit panel. The plural capacitors are connected in parallel between the first and second terminals so as to form plural circuits with different self-resonant frequencies. The device can be mounted as a unit on a circuit board with the first terminals connected to a power conductor and the second terminals connected to a ground conductor, and provides low impedance shunting of noise over a wide frequency spectrum.

Abstract:
A radio frequency chip package is formed by assembling a connecting element such as a circuit board (52) or flexible circuit tape having chips (72, 84) thereon with a bottom plane element (20) such as a lead frame incorporating a large thermally-conductive plate (22) and leads (40, 42) projecting upwardly from the plane of the plate. The assembly step places the rear surfaces (78) of the chips (72) on the bottom side of the connecting element (52) into proximity with the thermal conductor (22) and joins the conductive traces (60) on the connecting element with the leads. The resulting assembly is encapsulated, leaving terminals at the bottom ends (45) of the leads exposed. The encapsulated assembly may be surface-mounted to a circuit board (102). The leads (40, 42) provide robust electrical connections between the connecting element (52) and the circuit board (102).
