[0032] Unless otherwise specified, the expressions "about", "approximately", "substantially", and "of the order of" mean to within 10%, preferably to within 5%.

[0033] [Fig.lA], [Fig.lB], [Fig.lC] and [Fig.lD] represent an embodiment of an electronic device 10. More specifically, [Fig.lB] represents a top view of the device 10. [Fig.lA] represents a sectional view along a plane AA of the device of [Fig.lB]. [Fig.lC] represents a sectional view along a plane CC of the device of [Fig.lB]. [Fig.lD] represents a sectional view along a plane DD of a part of the device of [Fig.lB].

[0034] The device 10 comprises a chip 12. The chip 12 comprises contact pads 14a, 14b on an upper face. The contact pads 14a, 14b are configured to be connected to voltage sources. More specifically, the pads 14a are configured to receive a data signal and the pads 14b are configured to receive a reference voltage, for example ground.

[0035] The chip 12 is fixed on a support 16, preferably on an upper face of the support 16. The support 16 is for example a stack of insulating layers and conductive layers. The support 16 is for example made of a laminated substrate. The support 16 is for example made of resin. The means for fixing the chip 12 on the support 16 are not shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D. The chip 12 is for example fixed on the support by a fixing layer, for example an adhesive layer.

[0036] The support 16 comprises, at the upper face of the support, for example on the upper face of the support, contact pads 18a and 18b. The contact pads 18a, 18b are configured to be electrically connected to the pads 14a, 14b. Preferably, each pad 18a, 18b is electrically connected to a pad 14a, 14b. The pads 18a and 18b are further connected, for example by connection elements not shown present in the support, to voltage sources.

[0037] In the example of Figures 1A to 1D, the support comprises two pads 18b and one pad 18a, as well as two pads 14b and one pad 14a. The pad 18a is configured to transmit a data signal to the chip, more precisely to the pad 14a. The pads 18b are configured to be connected to a reference voltage, preferably ground, and to the pads 14b. The pads 18a and 18b are located such that the plane comprising the pad 18a and the pad 14a to which the pad 18a is connected is located between the planes each comprising one of the pads 18b and the pad 14b to which said pad 18b is connected.

[0038] In the example of Figures 1A to 1D, the pads 18b are aligned, in other words located substantially at an equal distance from the chip 12. The pads 18a are, for example, not aligned with the pads 18b. In other words, the pad 18a is not located between the pads 18b. For example, the distance between the pad 18a and the chip 12 is greater than the distance between each of the pads 18b and the chip 12. The pads 14a, 14b are, for example, aligned, as shown in Figures 1A to 1D. In other words, the pads 14a, 14b are, for example, at an equal distance from the face of the chip closest to the pads 18a and 18b.

[0039] The device 10 comprises for example a protective layer 20 partially covering the support 16. In the example of FIGS. 1A to 1D, the layer 20 partially covers the upper face of the support 16 and comprises in particular an opening 22 in which the chip 12 and the pads 18a and 18b are located.

[0040] The device 10 comprises a stack 24. [Fig. 1D] represents a view in section of the stack 24 along the section plane DD. The stack 24 comprises an alternation of insulating layers 26, 28 and 30, shown with hatching in FIGS. 1A to 1D, and conductive layers 32, 34, 36. The conductive layers are for example made of metal, for example copper or gold. The stack comprises two conductive layers 32, 36 configured to connect the pads 18b to each other and to the pads 14b configured to receive the reference voltage. The stack further comprises a conductive layer 34, located between the two layers 32, 36. The layer 34 is configured to connect the pad 18a and the pad 14a configured to receive the data signal. The conductive layers are separated from each other by the insulating layers.

[0041] More specifically, the stack 24 comprises the lower insulating layer 26. The layer 26 is the layer closest to the support 16. The insulating layer extends over the upper face of the support 16, over the upper face of the chip 12 and over the lateral face of the chip 12 located between the pads 14a, 14b and the pads 18a, 18b. Preferably, the layer 26 extends to the pads 18a, 18b and to the pads 14.

[0042] The stack 24 comprises the conductive layer 32 partially covering the layer 26. The layer 32 extends over the layer 26, over the pads 18b and over the pads 14b. The layer 32 is in contact with the pads 14b and the pads 18b. Preferably, the layer 32 rests only on the layer 26 and on the pads 14b, 18b. The layer 32 is configured not to be in physical or electrical contact with the pads 14a and 18a.

[0043] The stack comprises the insulating layer 28 covering the layer 32. The layer 28 for example completely covers the layer 32, the pads 18b and 14b being partially uncovered. Alternatively, the layer 28 for example completely covers the layer 32 with the exception of the portions of the layer 32 located on the pads 14b and 18b.

[0044] The stack 24 comprises the conductive layer 34 partially covering the layer 28. The layer 34 extends over the layer 28, over the pads 18a and 14a. The layer 34 is in contact with the pads 14a and the pads 18a. Preferably, the layer 34 rests only on the layer 28 and on the pads 14a, 18a. The layer 34 is configured not to be in physical or electrical contact with the pads 14b and 18b. The layer 34 extends over a portion of the layer 28 located between other portions of the layer 28. In other words, the layer 28 comprises portions located on either side of the portion of the layer 28 over which the layer 34 extends.

[0045] The stack comprises the insulating layer 30 covering the layer 34. The layer 30 for example completely covers the layer 34. The layer 30 for example covers the pads 18b and 14b. The layer 30 does not completely cover the layer 28. In other words, portions of the layer 28 located on either side of the layer 34 are not covered by the layer 30.

[0046] The stack comprises the conductive layer 36. The layer 36 preferably completely covers the layer 30. The conductive layer 36 is separated from the layer 34 by the layer 30. The layer 36 at least partially covers the portions of the layer 28 located on either side of the portion of the layer 28 on which the layer 34 is located. The layer 34 is thus surrounded by conductive layers polarized at the reference voltage. In other words, the upper and lateral faces of the layer 34 are covered with the layer 36 and the lower face of the layer 34 is opposite the layer 32.

[0047] The layer 36 is for example covered with an insulating layer not shown. The insulating layer not shown is for example made of the same material as the layers 26, 28, 30. The insulating layer not shown is for example a passivation layer. If the layer 36 is made of copper, the insulating layer not shown is for example configured to prevent oxidation.

[0048] During operation of the device, more precisely, when a signal is transmitted between the chip and the support, the conductive layers 32 and 36 are polarized at the reference voltage. The layer 34 on which the data signal is transmitted is thus surrounded by conductive layers polarized at the reference voltage. The stack 24 thus functions like a coaxial cable. The dispersion of the signal is thus strongly limited by the conductive layers polarized at the reference voltage.

[0049] Figures 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, 4A, 4B, 4C, 5A, 5B, 5C, 6A, 6B, 6C, 7A, 7B, 7C, 8A, 8B and 8C represent steps, preferably successive, of a method of manufacturing the embodiment of Figures 1A to 1D.

[0050] During the manufacturing process, the stack 24 is formed by an additive manufacturing process, that is to say a process for manufacturing a structure by forming successive layers. The layers of the stack 24 are for example formed by projections of drops via a laser melting process of a carrier layer towards the receiving surface, or by deposition of material via mechanical projection of the endless screw type or by vibration.

[0051] [Fig.2A], [Fig.2B] and [Fig.2C] represent a step in a method of manufacturing the device of FIGS. 1A to 1D. More specifically, [Fig.2B] represents a top view of a structure resulting from a first step in the method of manufacturing the device 10. [Fig.2A] represents a sectional view along a plane AA of the device of [Fig.2B]. [Fig.2C] represents a sectional view along a plane CC of the device of [Fig.2B].

[0052] During this step, the chip 12 and the support 16 are formed independently. Thus, the chip 12 is formed in such a way as to comprise the pads 14a and 14b on an upper face. The chip 12 comprises, for example, fixing elements on a lower face. For example, the lower face comprises suitable metal pads to be welded or metallic regions suitable for molecular bonding. The support 16 is formed so as to comprise the pads 18a and 18b and to connect the pads 18a and 18b to means for applying tensions.

[0053] The chip 12 is then fixed on the support 16. The fixing can be carried out by any means, for example by application of a fixing layer, by molecular bonding or by soldering.

[0054] The step of FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C further comprises the formation of the protective layer 20. The layer 20 partially covers the upper face of the support 16. The layer 20 does not cover the locations of the pads 18a, 18b, of the chip 12 and of the stack 24.

[0055] [Fig.3A], [Fig.3B] and [Fig.3C] represent another step of a method of manufacturing the device of Figures 1A to 1D. More specifically, [Fig.3B] represents a top view of a structure resulting from the step of Figures 2A, 2B, 2C. [Fig.3A] represents a sectional view along a plane AA of the device of [Fig.3B]. [Fig.3C] represents a sectional view along a plane CC of the device of [Fig.3B]

[0056] During this step, the lower layer 26 of the stack 24 is formed on the structure resulting from the step of FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C.

[0057] The insulating layer 26 is for example the first layer formed by the additive manufacturing process. The layer 26 is for example formed by a projection of drops, of the inkjet type. The drops are made of an insulating material, for example polymer or epoxy resin.

[0058] The layer 26 preferably completely covers the portion of the upper face of the support 16 located between the pads 18b and the chip 12. The layer 26 surrounds, for example, the pads 18b laterally. In the example of FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C, the layer 26 extends to the pad 18a. The layer 26 at least partially covers the lateral face of the chip 12 located between the pads 14b and the pads 18b. The layer 26 covers the portions of said lateral face between the pads 14b and the pads 18b. The layer 26 extends to the pads 14b.

[0059] [Fig.4A], [Fig.4B] and [Fig.4C] represent another step of a method of manufacturing the device of Figures 1A to 1D. More specifically, [Fig.4B] represents a top view of a structure resulting from the step of Figures 3A, 3B, 3C. [Fig.4A] represents a sectional view along a plane AA of the device of [Fig.4B]. [Fig.4C] represents a sectional view along a plane CC of the device of [Fig.4B]

[0060] During this step, the conductive layer 32 of the stack 24 is formed on the structure resulting from the step of FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C.

[0061] Layer 32 is formed, like layer 26, by the additive manufacturing process. Layer 32 is for example formed by a projection of drops, of the ink jet type. Layer 32 is for example made of metal, for example copper or gold.

[0062] The layer 32 extends so as to be in contact with the pads 14b and the pads 18b. The layer 32 extends so as not to be in contact with the pads 14a and 18a. The layer 32 preferably extends only over the layer 26 and over the pads 14b and 18b. Preferably, the layer 32 is not in contact with the upper face of the support 16. Preferably, the layer 32 is separated from the upper face of the support 16 by the layer 26 and by the pads 14b and 18b.

[0063] [Fig.5A], [Fig.5B] and [Fig.5C] represent another step of a method of manufacturing the device of Figures 1A to 1D. More specifically, [Fig.5B] represents a top view of a structure resulting from the step of Figures 4A, 4B, 4C. [Fig.5A] represents a sectional view along a plane AA of the device of [Fig.5B]. [Fig.5C] represents a sectional view along a plane CC of the device of [Fig.5B]

[0064] During this step, the insulating layer 28 of the stack 24 is formed on the structure resulting from the step of FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C.

[0065] Layer 28 is formed, like layer 26 and layer 32, by the additive manufacturing process. Layer 28 is for example formed by a projection of drops, of the ink jet type. The drops are made of an insulating material, for example polymer or epoxy resin.

[0066] The layer 28 preferably covers entirely the portion of the upper face of the layer 32 located between the pads 18b and the chip 12. The layer 28 preferably covers entirely the portion of the upper face of the layer 32 located between the pad 18a and the pad 14a.

[0067] The layer 32 preferably does not completely cover the portion of the layer 32 located on the pads 14b and 18b. At least a portion of each pad 18b, 14b, or of the portion of layer 32 on said pad 18b, 14b, is not covered by the layer 28. The layer 28 preferably does not cover the pads 14a and 18a. The layer 28 does not completely cover the pads 14a and 18a.

[0068] [Fig.6A], [Fig.6B] and [Fig.6C] represent another step of a method of manufacturing the device of Figures 1A to 1D. More specifically, [Fig.6B] represents a top view of a structure resulting from the step of Figures 5A, 5B, 5C. [Fig.6A] represents a sectional view along a plane AA of the device of [Fig.6B]. [Fig.6C] represents a sectional view along a plane CC of the device of [Fig.6B]

[0069] During this step, the conductive layer 34 of the stack 24 is formed on the structure resulting from the step of FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C.

[0070] Layer 34 is formed, like the other layers of stack 24, by the additive manufacturing process. Layer 34 is for example formed by a projection of drops, of the inkjet type. Layer 34 is for example made of metal, for example copper or gold.

[0071] The conductive layer 34 partially covers the layer 28. The layer 34 extends over the layer 28, over the pads 18a and 14a. The layer 34 is in contact with the pads 14a and the pads 18a. Preferably, the layer 34 rests only on the layer 28 and on the pads 14a, 18a. The layer 34 is configured not to be in physical or electrical contact with the pads 14b and 18b. The layer 34 extends over a portion of the layer 28 located between other portions of the layer 28. In other words, the layer 28 comprises portions located on either side of the portion of the layer 28 over which the layer 34 extends.

[0072] [Fig.7A], [Fig.7B] and [Fig.7C] represent another step of a method of manufacturing the device of Figures 1A to 1D. More specifically, [Fig.7B] represents a top view of a structure resulting from the step of Figures 6A, 6B, 6C. [Fig.7A] represents a sectional view along a plane AA of the device of [Fig.7B]. [Fig.7C] represents a sectional view along a plane CC of the device of [Fig.7B]

[0073] During this step, the insulating layer 30 of the stack 24 is formed on the structure resulting from the step of FIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C.

[0074] The layer 30 is formed, like the other layers of the stack 24, by the additive manufacturing process. The layer 28 is for example formed by a projection of drops, of the ink jet type. The drops are made of an insulating material, for example polymer or epoxy resin.

[0075] The layer 30 for example completely covers the layer 34. In the example of FIGS. 7A to 7C, the layer 30 completely covers the portions of the layer 34 located between the plane of the pads 14b and the plane of the pads 18b. The layer 30 for example covers the pads 18b and 14b. The layer 30 does not completely cover the layer 28. In other words, portions 42 of the layer 28 located on either side of the layer 34 are not covered by the layer 30.

[0076] [Fig.8A], [Fig.8B] and [Fig.8C] represent another step of a method of manufacturing the device of Figures 1A to 1D.

[Fig.8C] represents a sectional view along a plane CC of the device of [Fig.8B]

[0077] During this step, the conductive layer 36 of the stack 24 is formed on the structure resulting from the step of FIGS. 7A, 7B and 7C.

[0078] Layer 36 is formed, like the other layers of stack 24, by the additive manufacturing process. Layer 36 is for example formed by a projection of drops, of the inkjet type. Layer 36 is for example made of metal, for example copper or gold.

[0079] The layer 36 preferably completely covers the layer 30. The conductive layer 36 is separated from the layer 34 by the layer 30. The layer 36 at least partially covers the portions 42 of the layer 28 located on either side of the portion of the layer 28 on which the layer 34 is located. The layer 34 is thus surrounded by conductive layers polarized to the reference voltage, for example ground. In other words, the upper and lateral faces of the layer 34 are covered with the layer 36 and the lower face of the layer 34 is opposite the layer 32.

[0080] The method comprises for example the formation of an insulating layer (not shown) covering the layer 36. The insulating layer (not shown) is for example made of the same material as the layers 26, 28, 30. The insulating layer (not shown) is for example a passivation layer.
