| 20120032285 | Electronic Device Including MEMS Devices And Holed Substrates, In Particular Of The LGA Or BGA Type - An electronic device includes a substrate provided with a passing opening and a MEMS device including an active surface wherein a portion of the MEMS device is integrated sensitive to chemical/physical variations of a fluid. The active surface of the MEMS device faces the substrate and is spaced therefrom, the sensitive portion being aligned to the opening. A protective package incorporates at least partially the MEMS device and the substrate, leaving at least the sensitive portion of the MEMS device, and the opening of the substrate exposed. A barrier element is positioned in an area which surrounds the sensitive portion to realize a protection structure for the MEMS device, so that the sensitive portion is free. | 02-09-2012 |

A semiconductor package has a coating on the electrical contacts thereof, the coating comprising at least one ionic polar surfactant. A device includes a semiconductor package with electrical contacts on a circuit board, the electrical contacts having a coating that includes an ionic surfactant. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100025838 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE PROTECTED AGAINST ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE - An embodiment of a method for manufacturing an electronic device realized on a semiconductor substrate and protected against electro static discharge by the provision of supporting means for the electronic device to keep it far from contacts with possible sources of an ESD event during the manufacturing phases. The supporting means are associated with said electronic device in all the manufacturing stages for instance when assembling the device, when picking and placing it in trays a first time, during the burning-in testing phases, when picking and placing it in trays a second time, or when picking and placing it in a scanner. In an embodiment, the supporting means are protective notches associated with the back side of the semiconductor substrate and provided at each edge corner of the semiconductor substrate. | 02-04-2010 |
