  • Publication number: 20020008319
    Abstract: A MOSFET die and a Schottky diode die are mounted on a common lead frame pad and their drain and cathode, respectively, are connected together at the pad. The pad has a plurality of pins extending from one side thereof. The lead frame has insulated pins on its opposite side which are connected to the FET source, the FET gate and the Schottky diode anode respectively by wire bonds. The lead frame and die are molded in an insulated housing and the lead frame pins are bent downwardly to define a surface-mount package.

  • Publication number: 20010050441
    Abstract: A multichip module has a substrate, which receives several flip chip and for other semiconductor die on one surface and has vias extending through the substrate from the flip chip bottom electrodes to solder ball electrodes on the bottom of the substrate. Passive components are also mounted on the top of the substrate and are connected to further vias which extend to respective ball contacts at the substrate bottom. In one embodiment, the bottom surfaces and electrodes of the die are insulated and their tops (and drain electrodes) are connected by a moldable conductive layer. In another embodiment the top surface of the substrate is covered by an insulation cap, which may be finned for improved thermal properties. The passives are upended to have their longest dimension perpendicular to the substrate surface and are between the fin valleys.

  • Patent number: 6242800
    Abstract: A MOSFET die is mounted onto the bottom surface of a lead frame pad of a lead frame which has increased heat conducting capacity. The pad includes a plurality of at least four integral pins extending therefrom. The lead frame also includes isolated pins which are connected to the MOSFET source and drain using wire bonds. The lead frame and MOSFET are molded in a housing. The pins extend outside the molded housing for external connection, and the pins extending from the lead frame pad provide a path for heat removal from the MOSFET by a heat conduction path formed of the MOSFET drain electrode, the lead frame pad, their interconnection material and the pins.
