  • Package and method for a semiconductor radiant energy emitting device
    Patent number: 4034466
    Abstract: Method and structure for encapsulating or providing a package for a light emitting semiconductor device in order to prevent package failure due to chemical contaminants. A light emitting semiconductor chip is connected to terminal leads having sharp angular portions. The device and the sharp angular portions are coated with a resilient elastomeric resin material inner core. An outer core comprising an acrylic or polycarbonate plastic material is injection molded over the inner core so as to leave exposed terminal leads for interconnection to electrical substrates such as cards or printed circuit boards.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 1975
    Date of Patent: July 12, 1977
    Assignee: Motorola, Inc.
