Abstract

The package comprises a carrier, an electronic device arranged on the carrier, a shield arranged on the electronic device on a side facing away from the carrier, and an absorber film comprising nanomaterial applied on or above the shield.

Claims (31)

1. A package for an electronic device, comprising:

a carrier,

an electronic device arranged on the carrier,

a shield arranged on the electronic device on a side facing away from the carrier, and

an absorber film comprising nanomaterial applied on or above the shield,

wherein the nanomaterial comprised by the absorber film is tuned to absorb X-radiation, such that the package shields the electronic device against X-radiation.

2. The package of claim 1 , wherein the shield and the absorber film are only arranged on a partial area of an upper surface of the electronic device facing away from the carrier.

3. The package of claim 2 , further comprising:

an integrated circuit of the electronic device, the shield and the absorber film being only arranged above the integrated circuit.

4. The package of claim 3 , further comprising:

a transistor forming a component of the integrated circuit, the shield and the absorber film being only arranged above the transistor.

5. The package of claim 1 , wherein the shield is formed from aluminum, copper, tungsten or a combination thereof.

6. A package for an electronic device, comprising:

a carrier, and

an electronic device arranged on the carrier, the electronic device being provided with a cover comprising nanomaterial, with an absorber film comprising nanomaterial, or with an adhesive layer comprising nanomaterial, and

a further electronic device arranged on the carrier on a side opposite the electronic device, the further electronic device being provided with a cover comprising nanomaterial, with an absorber film comprising nanomaterial, or with an adhesive layer comprising nanomaterial.

7. The package of claim 6 , wherein

at least one of the electronic device and the further electronic device is provided with a cover, and

the cover comprises nanomaterial or is provided with an absorber film comprising nanomaterial.

8. The package of claim 7 , wherein the cover is a glob top or part of a glob top.

9. The package of claim 7 , wherein the cover is injection-molded.

10. The package of claim 7 , wherein the cover comprises plastic or ceramic.

11. The package of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the electronic device and the further electronic device is provided with an adhesive layer between the carrier and the electronic device or between the carrier and the further electronic device, respectively, the adhesive layer comprising nanomaterial.

12. The package of claim 6 , further comprising:

an integrated circuit in the electronic device, and

a photodiode in the further electronic device, the integrated circuit being configured as a read-out circuit for the photodiode.

13. The package of claim 6 , further comprising:

an interconnection in the carrier, the interconnection electrically connecting the electronic device and the further electronic device.

14. The package of claim 1 , wherein the nanomaterial comprises a material of the group consisting of PbS, PbSe, ZnS, ZnS, CdSe, CdTe, copper sulfide, copper oxide, organic perovskites and inorganic perovskites, or any combination thereof.

15. The package of claim 1 , wherein the shield is a light shield is arranged between the electronic device and the absorber film.

16. The package of the claim 6 , wherein the cover contains nanoparticles for X-ray absorption.
