Electrical termination unit for a microelectronic device and microelectronic device including such an electrical termination unit

摘要

An electrical termination unit for a microelectronic device, the electrical termination unit including, a carrier; and at least one metal tab being attached to the carrier; wherein the carrier is provided with at least one connection area where one electrical lead is to be electrically connected to one metal tab, and wherein the at least one connection area is configured to retain the least one electrical lead at least in one spatial dimension in a defined position relative to the one metal tab prior to a metallurgical connection process.

主权项

1. An electrical termination unit adapted for metallurgical connection with a microelectronic device, the electrical termination unit comprising:
a carrier; at least one connection area within the carrier configured to retain an ancillary electrical lead of the microelectronic device when inserted therein in at least one spatial dimension; an opening provided in the carrier; at least one metal tab being attached to the carrier and extending through the at least one opening and having first and second free ends exposed at different sides of the carrier; at least one alignment feature confining the at least one connection area on two sides and retaining the ancillary electrical lead in alignment with the at least one metal tab in a first plane; and at least one recess configured to confine the ancillary electrical lead in a plane perpendicular to the first plane to retain the ancillary electric lead in alignment with the at least one metal tab and enable physical connection between the at least one metal tab and the ancillary electrical lead; wherein the at least one alignment feature and the at least one recess maintain alignment between the ancillary electrical lead and the at least one metal tab while the metallurgical connection is made; and wherein the at least one alignment feature is configured to provide a proper high-voltage separation distance.
