Semiconductor device, and manufacturing method thereof

Packages for an integrated circuit die and methods and leadframes for making such packages are disclosed. The package includes a die, a die pad, peripheral metal contacts, bond wires, and an encapsulant. The die pad and contacts are located at a lower surface of the package. The die pad and the contacts have side surfaces which include reentrant portions and asperities to engage the encapsulant. A method of making a package includes providing a metal leadframe having a die pad in a rectangular frame. Tabs extend from the frame toward the die pad. The die pad and tabs have side surfaces with reentrant portions and asperities. A die is attached to the die pad. The die is electrically connected to the tabs. An encapsulant is applied to the upper and side surfaces of the leadframe. Finally, the leadframe is cut in situ so that the die pad and tabs are severed from the frame, the sides of the package are formed, and the package is severed from the leadframe.

Plastic integrated circuit package and method and leadframe for making the package

The present invention comprises a semiconductor package comprising a bottom semiconductor package substrate which is populated with one or more electronic components. The electronic component(s) of the bottom substrate are covered or encapsulated with a suitable mold compound which hardens into a package body of the semiconductor package. The package body is provided with one or more vias through the completion of laser drilling process, such via(s) providing access to one or more corresponding conductive contacts of the bottom substrate. These vias are either lined or partially filled with a conductive metal material. Subsequently, a top semiconductor package substrate (which may optionally be populated with one or more electronic components) is mounted to the package body and electrically connected to the conductive metal within the via(s) of the package body.

Thin stacked interposer package

Micro lead frame (MLF)-type semiconductor packages that allow the semiconductor packages to be stacked on top of each other. One aspect of the semiconductor package includes a leadframe, a plurality of electrical connectors, a semiconductor chip, and a sealing material for encapsulating the above components. The leadframe has a plurality of leads, with each one of the plurality of leads running from the top of the semiconductor package to the bottom of the semiconductor package. Each one of the plurality of leads has a top portion protruding from the top surface of the semiconductor package and a bottom portion protruding from the bottom surface of the semiconductor package. The leads allow for electrical connection of a second semiconductor package placed on top of the first semiconductor package. Further, the protruding parts of the leads form a space between the stacked semiconductor packages for improved heat dissipation.

Stackable semiconductor package and method for manufacturing same

A lead frame for making a semiconductor package is disclosed. The leadframe's leads include a lead lock provided at a free end of each inner lead that is adapted to increase a bonding force of the inner lead to a resin encapsulate, thereby effectively preventing a separation of the inner lead from occurring in a singulation process involved in the fabrication of the semiconductor package. A semiconductor package fabricated using the lead frame and a fabrication method for the semiconductor package are also disclosed. The lead frame includes a paddle, a plurality of tie bars for supporting the corners of the paddle, a plurality of leads arranged at each of four sides or two facing sides of the paddle in such a fashion that they are spaced apart from an adjacent side of the paddle while extending perpendicularly to the associated side of the paddle, each of the leads having lead separation preventing means adapted to increase a bonding force of the lead to a resin encapsulate subsequently molded to encapsulate the lead frame for fabrication of the semiconductor package, and dam bars for supporting the leads and the tie bars. Additional package embodiments include exposed protrusions extending downward from the leads. The exposed protrusions are irradiated with a laser to remove set resin prior to a solder ball attachment step.

A lead frame for manufacturing semiconductor device packages has inner leads, tie bars and a die pad that are formed with irregular dimples on their respective upper and lower surfaces. This improves the bonding strength between the lead frame and the molding compound as well as between the die pad and a semiconductor device. The dimples are formed during the manufacture of the lead frame which allows the lead frame to be economically and easily manufactured.
