  • Publication number: 20120001311
    Abstract: In a package for a semiconductor device according to the present invention, steps 10 are provided at least on the sides of lead frames 1 and 2 at exposed portions in the opening of a resin part 3, thereby increasing adhesion between the lead frames 1 and 2 and resin and suppressing leakage of molding resin and intrusion of outside air or moisture from a gap between the lead frames 1 and 2 and the resin.

  • Publication number: 20120001312
    Abstract: In a package for a semiconductor device according to the present invention, coating resin 10 covers the boundaries between lead frames 1 and 2 and holding resin 6, at exposed portions in the opening of a resin part 3, thereby closing gaps 18 between the lead frames 1 and 2 and the holding resin 6. Thus it is possible to suppress leakage of molding resin and intrusion of outside air or moisture from the gaps 18 between the lead frames 1 and 2 and the holding resin 6. Particularly, blocking of moisture can prevent the package from being damaged by expansion and contraction of moisture.

  • Publication number: 20120001310
    Abstract: A package for a semiconductor device according to the present invention includes at least one through hole 6 provided on at least one of lead frames 1 and 2. Thus when resin is injected to form a mounting region 4 of a semiconductor element while holding the lead frames 1 and 2, the resin can be injected from the back sides of the lead frames 1 and 2 through the through hole 6 serving as a resin flow path, thereby shortening the resin flow path and suppressing the occurrence of portions unfilled with the resin and poor appearances.

  • Publication number: 20080308927
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip is mounted on an upper surface of the heat sink plate that is provided with a plurality of heat releasing terminals on a lower surface of the heat releasing. A plurality of electric signal terminals are regularly disposed in a lattice-like manner around the heat sink plate. Lower end surfaces of the electric signal terminals and the heat releasing terminals are exposed from and sealed with a sealing resin. The heat sink plate is formed as an integrated body including a protruding portion that protrudes from a central portion of an upper surface and supports the semiconductor chip, a plurality of supporting portions that are positioned around a rear surface of the protruding portion so as to support the protruding portion and that are exposed at a rear surface of the sealing resin, the plurality of heat releasing terminals, and a thin-walled portion that is recessed from lower end surfaces of the supporting portions and the heat releasing terminals.

  • Patent number: 7405104
    Abstract: A resin-encapsulated semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip, a plurality of inner leads that are connected to a group of electrodes of the semiconductor chip, respectively, and an encapsulating resin that encapsulates a connection part located between the semiconductor chip and the inner leads. Each of the inner leads includes a protruded portion provided on a surface thereof on an outer side relative to the periphery of the semiconductor chip. The protruded portion protrudes in a thickness direction and is provided with a step portion formed in its side portion. The group of electrodes of the semiconductor chip is connected to surfaces of inner portions of the inner leads located on an inner side relative to their protruded portions, through electroconductive bumps, respectively. The encapsulating resin encapsulates the semiconductor chip and the electroconductive bumps and is formed to expose surfaces of the protruded portions.

  • Patent number: 7132315
    Abstract: An inventive leadframe includes an outer frame, a die pad, and a plurality of leads each having land portions and connections. The land portions each have an upper surface serving as a bonding pad to be connected with a metal wiring, and a lowermost part serving as an external terminal. The connections are each devoid of its lower part so as to be thinner than the land portion, and are provided between the outer frame and the land portions, between the land portions associated with each other in each lead, and between the land portions and the die pad. Furthermore, the inventive leadframe is provided with no member that functions as a suspension lead for connecting the outer frame and the die pad to each other during plastic encapsulation.
