Patent number: 7964942Abstract: A lead frame has a die stage for mounting a semiconductor chip whose electrodes are electrically connected with leads via bonding wires, wherein they are enclosed in a molded resin, thus producing a semiconductor device. The outline of the die stage is shaped so as to be smaller than the outline of the semiconductor chip, and a plurality of cutouts are formed in the peripheral portion of the die stage so as to reduce the overall area of the die stage and to enhance the adhesion between the die stage and molded resin. The length L2 of each cutout ranges from (L1×0.05) to (L1×0.20) where L1 denotes the length of each side of the die stage, and the overall area S2 of the die stage ranges from (S1×0.10) to (S1×0.40) where S1 denotes the overall area of the semiconductor chip.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2007Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventors: Kenichi Shirasaka, Hirotaka Eguchi

Publication number: 20110140253Abstract: A variety of semiconductor package arrangements and packaging methods are described that improve the reliability of bonding wires that down bond a die to a die attach pad. In one aspect, selected portions of the top surface of a lead frame (which may be in panel form) are plated (e.g., silver plated) to facilitate wire bonding. The plating covers some, but not all of a die attach surface of the die attach pad. In some preferred embodiments, the plating on the die attach pad is arranged as a peripheral ring that surrounds an unplated central region of the die support surface. In other embodiments, the plating on the die attach pad takes the form of bars or other geometric patterns that do not fully cover the die support surface. Unplated portions of the die support surface are roughened to improve the adherence of the die to the die attach pad, thereby reducing the probability of die attach pad delamination and the associated risks to down bonded bonding wires.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2009Publication date: June 16, 2011Applicant: NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Shaw Wei LEE, Yee Kim LEE, Ein Sun NG, Lee Han Meng @ Eugene LEE, Ting Soon Peter CHIN
