  • Publication number: 20230369162
    Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing packaged semiconductor devices includes a lower plate having package platforms and clamp guide pins to align an upper plate with the lower plate, and a boat tray having windows configured to receive package devices, and a plurality of upper plates configured to be aligned to respective windows and respective package platforms. Clamping force can be applied by fasteners configured to generate a downward force upon the upper plate. Package devices on the platforms are thus subjected to a clamping force. Load cells measure the clamping force so adjustments can be made.

  • Patent number: 11715675
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a circuit substrate, a semiconductor package, and a metallic cover. The semiconductor package is disposed on the circuit substrate. The metallic cover is disposed over the semiconductor package and over the circuit substrate. The metallic cover comprises a lid and outer flanges. The lid overlies the semiconductor package. The outer flanges are disposed at edges of the lid, are connected with the lid, extend from the lid towards the circuit substrate, and face side surfaces of the semiconductor package. The lid has a first region that is located over the semiconductor package and is thicker than a second region that is located outside a footprint of the semiconductor package.
