Abstract: A method of manufacturing an LED package includes mounting a large panel frame/substrate (LPF/S) having a substantially square shape to a ring. The LPF/S includes a plurality of die pads and a corresponding plurality of leads arranged in a matrix pattern. Each of the die pads includes a planar chip attach surface. An LED chip is attached to the planar chip attach surface of each of the die pads. An encapsulant material is applied overlaying the LED chips and at least a part of the LPF/S. Each die pad and corresponding leads are separated from the LPF/S to form individual LED packages. The steps of attaching the LED chips and applying the encapsulant material are performed while the LPF/S is mounted to the ring.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a semiconductor package includes a leadframe, a light emitter die disposed on the leadframe, and a light detector die disposed on the leadframe adjacent to the light emitter die. In some embodiments, a first transparent molding compound is disposed over the light emitter die and a second transparent molding compound is disposed over the light detector die. The first and second transparent molding compound may be disposed such that a space between them forms a cavity between the die and above the leadframe. In other embodiments a transparent molding compound is disposed simultaneously over the light emitter and light detector die and a subsequent material removal process forms a cavity within the compound between the die. In both embodiments, an opaque molding compound is disposed in the cavity between the die, and is configured to block optical cross-talk between the light emitter and light detector die.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit package includes mounting a large panel leadframe having a substantially square shape to a ring. The large panel leadframe includes a plurality of die pads and a corresponding plurality of leads arranged in a matrix pattern. An integrated circuit chip is attached to each of the die pads. An encapsulant material is applied over the integrated circuit chips and at least a part of the large panel leadframe. Each of the die pads and its corresponding leads are separated from the large panel leadframe to form individual integrated circuit packages. The steps of attaching the integrated circuit chips and applying the encapsulant material are performed while the large panel leadframe is mounted to a taped ring.

Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die having an upper surface with bond pads thereon. A plurality of leads surround sides of the semiconductor die. Bonding wires couple each of the bond pads to a corresponding one of the plurality of leads. An encapsulant covers the upper surface and the sides of the semiconductor die and the bonding wires. The encapsulant also covers a portion of a top of each of the plurality of leads and sides of the plurality of leads that are nearest the semiconductor die. A bottom of each of the plurality of leads and the sides of the plurality of leads that are farthest from the semiconductor die are exposed outside the encapsulant. A protective film covers a lower surface of the semiconductor die and has a bottom that is substantially coextensive with the bottom of each of the plurality of leads.

Abstract: An LED package includes a die pad having a bottom surface, an upper surface and a centrally located recessed cavity. The recessed cavity has a chip attach surface between the bottom surface and upper surface and sidewalls that extend from the recessed chip attach surface to the upper surface. The package additionally has leads arranged on opposing sides of the die pad. The leads have a bottom surface that is coextensive with the bottom surface of the die pad and an upper surface coextensive with the upper surface of the die pad. An LED chip is attached to the chip attach surface. The package further includes a package body having an encapsulant which fills space between the die pad and leads forming a bottom encapsulant surface that is coextensive with the bottom surfaces of the die pad and leads.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stress-free lead frame (1) for a semiconductor. The stress-free lead frame (1) is provided with a stress-relief means (15) and an interlocking means (16) at the outer periphery. The stress-relief means (15) is capable of accommodating expansion and compression while the interlocking means (16) take care of shock and vibration during handling to thereby eliminate delamination of the lead frame (10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method for sawing a moulded leadframe package (1) into individual integrated circuits (11). In the present invention sawing of the moulded leadframe package (1) is done on the leads (13) instead of on the connecting bar (14) resulting in less heat being generated during cutting. This results in higher cutting speed and longer dicing blade life.
