Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An insulating body embeds an integrated circuit and has a mounting surface, an opposite free surface, and at least one pin exposed along an edge of the mounting surface and electrically connected to a terminal of the integrated circuit. A heatsink configured to dissipate heat produced by the integrated circuit is provided in correspondence of the free surface. The heatsink includes at least one protruding element including a connection portion partly extending in contact with the free surface and partly protruding beyond a boundary of the free surface (the connection portion having a free end being distal from the insulating body), and a mounting portion extending from the free end at least up to a plane of the mounting surface. The heatsink is further electrically connected to a terminal of the integrated circuit chip. The protruding element is placed in correspondence of the at least one pin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: an insulating body configured to embed at least one chip in which at least one electronic component is integrated, the insulating body having a mounting surface configured to be mounted to a board and a free surface opposite the mounting surface and a peripheral side surface between the mounting and free surfaces, a first pin surface exposed from the mounting surface of the insulating body and coplanar with said mounting surface; a…
