Abstract

The invention specifies a module comprising a carrier substrate ( 6 ) having an electrical wiring and a component chip mounted on the carrier substrate ( 6 ) using flip-chip technology, wherein the component chip ( 1 ) has, on its surface ( 2 ) facing the carrier substrate ( 6 ), component structures ( 3 ), a supporting frame ( 4 ) and supporting elements ( 5 ), the supporting elements ( 5 ) produce an electrical connection between the component structures ( 3 ) and the electrical wiring of the carrier substrate ( 6 ), and the height of the supporting elements and the height of the supporting frame ( 4 ) correspond. Furthermore, the invention specifies a method for producing the module.

Claims (21)

1. A method for producing a module, the method comprising:

providing a carrier substrate having an electrical wiring;

providing at least one component chip having component structures on its surface facing the carrier substrate;

producing a supporting frame and supporting elements, which correspond in terms of their heights, on the surface of the component chip facing the carrier substrate in a common method step; and

mounting the component chip onto the carrier substrate using the flip-chip method,

wherein an electrical connection between the component structures and the electrical wiring of the carrier substrate is produced via the supporting elements, and

wherein the step of producing the supporting frame and the supporting elements comprises the sub-steps of:

applying a metallic growth layer on the component chip;

producing a molding mask, corresponding to an electroplating resist, that omits the supporting frame and the supporting elements lithographically on the component chip for the purpose of producing the supporting frame and the supporting elements;

electrolytically reinforcing the metallic growth layer; and

removing the molding mask.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

applying a metallization layer to the carrier substrate, wherein regions of the metallization layer are patterned to form connection or contact areas.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

soldering the supporting frame to the carrier substrate, wherein a cavity is enclosed between supporting frame, component chip and carrier substrate.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

applying an encapsulation layer to the component chip and the carrier substrate over a large area.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

applying further electrical components on the carrier substrate; and

applying an encapsulation layer to the component chip, the further electrical components and the carrier substrate over a large area.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the component chip is an SAW filter chip.
