  • Patent number: 7582964
    Abstract: A semiconductor package for power transistors and the like has a heat sink flange with at least one die mounted thereon, a non-ceramic based window frame mounted thereon adjacent the die, and a plurality of leads mounted on the window frame and electrically coupled to the die by wire bonds. The non-ceramic based window frame is thermally matched to copper or other highly conductive material typically used for the flange, to facilitate assembly of the semiconductor package at high temperatures. The non-ceramic based window frame is flexible and is thermally matched to the highly conductive flange so as to expand and contract at a rate similar to the flange to prevent failure during assembly of the semiconductor package. The non-ceramic based material of the window frame includes a matrix of principally organic material, such as polytetrafluorethylene, filled with fibers which may be glass fibers or ceramic fibers.
