Abstract: A lead-frame-based semiconductor package and a fabrication method thereof are proposed. The semiconductor package includes: a lead frame having a plurality of first and second leads, wherein each first lead is formed with an extending portion smaller in thickness than the first lead in a manner that, an upper surface of the extending portion is flush with an upper surface of the first lead, and a lower surface of the extending portion forms a height difference with respect to a lower surface of the first lead; a chip mounted over the upper surfaces of the extending portions, and electrically connected to the leads by bonding wires; an encapsulant for encapsulating the upper surfaces of leads, upper surfaces of extending portions, chip and bonding wires; and a non-conductive material applied over the lower surfaces of extending portions, wherein the lower surfaces of leads are exposed to outside of the non-conductive material.

Abstract: A leadframe-based non-leaded semiconductor package and method of fabricating the same is proposed, which is used for the fabrication of a non-leaded type of semiconductor package, such as QFN (Quad Flat No-lead) package. The proposed semiconductor packaging technology is characterized by the provision of a recessed portion in the paddle portion of the leadframe to help secure the encapsulation body more firmly in position without delamination, as well as help lower the position of the packaged chip to help prevent the bonding wires from being exposed to the outside of the encapsulation body. These features can help the finished package to be more reliable with increased good yield.

Abstract: A multi-chip semiconductor package is proposed, in which a lead frame is formed with a chip carrier that consists of at least one supporting frame and a plurality of downwardly extending portions integrally formed with the supporting frame. As the chip carrier occupies small space, this does not impede flowing of a molding compound used for forming an encapsulant. The adjacent extending portions are provided with sufficient space therebetween for allowing the molding compound to flow through the space, so that problems of incomplete filling with the molding compound and the formation of voids can be eliminated. Moreover, the downwardly extending portions can function as a pre-stressed structure so as to closely abut a bottom of a mold cavity after mold engagement, thereby making the chip carrier well assured in position without being dislocated.

Abstract: A short-prevented lead frame and a method for fabricating a semiconductor package with the lead frame are proposed, wherein each lead of the lead frame is formed with a thickness-reduced portion at a peripheral position of the lead frame, allowing thickness-reduced portions of adjacent leads to be arranged in a stagger manner. This stagger arrangement significantly increases pitches between the neighboring thickness-reduced portions of leads. Therefore, during a singulation process as to cut through the leads, lead bridging and short-circuiting between adjacent leads caused by cut-side burrs can be prevented from occurrence, whereby singulation quality and product yield and reliability are effectively improved.
