  • Patent number: 4320412
    Abstract: A lead frame for mounting semiconductor chips includes laminated chip-mounting portions. These portions are comprised of a high thermal conductivity lead-frame material laminated with upper and lower surfaces of a material which matches the expansivity of the semiconductor. These upper and lower surfaces prevent warping of the mounting portions and this, coupled with the matching of the expansivity of the chip, greatly reduces the likelihood of chip damage.
