Abstract: Embodiments in accordance with the present invention relate to techniques which avoid the problems of deformation in the shape of a solder connection in a flip chip package, resulting from solder reflow. In one embodiment, a solder-repellent surface is created adjacent to the solder to constrain the reflow and thereby maintain the vertical profile of the solder. Examples of such a solder-repellent surface include an oxide (such as Brown Oxide) of the lead frame, or a tape (such as Kapton) which is used as a dam bar to control/constrain the solder flow on the leads prior to the encapsulation step. In another embodiment, the solder connection may be formed from at least two components. The first component may reflow at high temperatures to provide the necessary adhesion between solder ball and the die, with the second component reflowing at a lower temperature to provide the necessary adhesion between the solder ball and the leads.

Abstract: A semiconductor device which includes: a semiconductor chip with plural pads; a tab connected with the semiconductor chip; bus bars which are located outside of the semiconductor chip and connected with the tab; a sealing body which resin-seals the semiconductor chip; plural leads arranged in a line around the semiconductor chip; plural first wires which connect pads of the semiconductor chip and the leads; and plural second wires which connect specific pads of the semiconductor chip and the bus bars. Since the sealing body has a continuous portion which continues from a side surface of the semiconductor chip to its back surface to a side surface of the tab, the degree of adhesion among the semiconductor chip, the tab and the sealing body is increased. This prevents peeling between the tab and the sealing body during a high-temperature process and thus improves the quality of the semiconductor device (QFN).

Abstract: A manufacturing process of a leadframe-based BGA package is disclosed. A leadless leadframe with an upper layer and a lower layer is provided for the package. The upper layer includes a plurality of ball pads, and the lower layer includes a plurality of sacrificial pads aligning and connecting with the ball pads. A plurality of leads are formed in either the upper layer or the lower layer to interconnect the ball pads or the sacrificial pads.

During manufacturing process, a half-etching process is performed after encapsulation to remove the sacrificial pads to make the ball pads electrically isolated and exposed from the encapsulant for solder ball placement where the soldering areas of the ball pads are defined without the need of solder mask(s) to solve the problem of solder bleeding of the solder balls on the leads or the undesired spots during reflow. Moreover, mold flash can easily be detected and removed.
