  • Publication number: 20160056098
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises an aluminum alloy lead-frame with a passivation layer covering an exposed portion of the aluminum alloy lead-frame. Since aluminum alloy is a low-cost material, and its hardness and flexibility are suitable for deformation process, such as punching, bending, molding and the like, aluminum alloy lead frame is suitable for mass production; furthermore, since its weight is much lower than copper or iron-nickel material, aluminum alloy lead frame is very convenient for the production of semiconductor devices.
