Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an electronic system, comprising: providing a semiconductor chip having a first main face and a second main face opposite to the first main face; applying a mask to the first main face of the semiconductor chip; forming openings through the mask to the first main surface of the semiconductor chip which align with contact pads of the semiconductor chip; applying a compound to the first main face of the semiconductor chip via the openings, the compound comprising electronically conductive particles; and attaching the semiconductor chip to a carrier with the compound facing the carrier, the mask remaining in place and the carrier having conductive elements aligned with and having lateral dimensions less than lateral dimensions of the mask openings, wherein attaching the semiconductor chip includes pressing the semiconductor chip and carrier together so that exposed top and side surfaces of the conductive elements are embedded within the compound, and sintering the compound to electrically connect the contact pads of the semiconductor chip to the conductive elements of the carrier.
