  • Patent number: 8519520
    Abstract: A semiconductor package method for co-packaging high-side (HS) and low-side (LS) semiconductor chips is disclosed. The HS and LS semiconductor chips are attached to two opposite sides of a lead frame, with a bottom drain electrode of the LS chip connected to a top side of the lead frame and a top source electrode of the HS chip connected to a bottom side of the lead frame through a solder ball. The stacking configuration of HS chip, lead frame and LS chip reduces the package size. A bottom metal layer covering the bottom of HS chip exposed outside of the package body provides both electrical connection and thermal conduction.

  • Patent number: 8486803
    Abstract: A chip-scale packaging method, with bottom and side of a semiconductor chip encapsulated, includes the following steps: attaching backside of a thinned semiconductor wafer to a dicing tape; separating individual chips by cutting from front side of the wafer at scribe line but not cut through the dicing tape; flipping and attaching the wafer onto a top surface of a double-sided tape, then removing the dicing tape; attaching bottom surface of the double-sided tape on a supporting plate; filling the space between adjacent chips and covering the whole wafer backside with a molding material; flipping the whole structure and remove the supporting plate; placing solder balls at corresponding positions on electrodes of each chip and performing backflow treatment; finally separating individual chip packages by cutting through molding material at the space between adjacent chip packages with molding material encapsulating the bottom and side of each individual semiconductor chip.

  • Patent number: 8450152
    Abstract: A double-side exposed semiconductor device includes an electric conductive first lead frame attached on top of a thermal conductive but electrical nonconductive second lead frame and a semiconductor chip flipped and attached on top of the first lead frame. The gate and source electrodes on top of the flipped chip form electrical connections with gate and source pins of the first lead frame respectively. The flipped chip and center portions of the first and second lead frames are then encapsulated with a molding compound, such that the heat sink formed at the center of the second lead frame and the drain electrode at bottom of the semiconductor chip are exposed on two opposite sides of the semiconductor device. Thus, heat dissipation performance of the semiconductor device is effectively improved without increasing the size of the semiconductor device.
