  • Publication number: 20040178483
    Abstract: A method of packaging a QFN semiconductor uses a metal frame having multiple component carriers consisting of die pads and leads attached to a tape. Dies are respectively attached to and wire bonded to the component carriers. A glue wall is formed around all of the component carriers on the metal frame. When the transparent encapsulant is poured inside the glue wall, the dies and the component carriers are covered. After the tape is removed, the component carriers are cut out of the metal frame to complete the QFN semiconductors. Therefore, the method can increase the quantity and quality of QFN semiconductors produced without regard to the size of the individual QFN semiconductors.

  • Publication number: 20040130007
    Abstract: A lead semiconductor package includes a leadframe, a chip and an encapsulant. The leadframe has a central opening and multiple flat leads. The multiple flat leads define edges of the central opening. Each lead has an exposed portion and an inner thin portion. The inner thin portion is close to the central opening. The chip is mounted on the leads and is wire bonded to the inner thin portion. The inner thin portion is thicker than the exposed thick portion to provide a wire bonding space. Therefore, the semiconductor package is very thin. Further, the encapsulant covers the leadframe except portions of the leads and a portion of the chip to increase heat radiation.
