  • Method and apparatus for coating the top of an electrical device
    Patent number: 5334245
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispensing a thin coating of a highly viscous encapsulant liquid on to the top surface of a semiconductor device having been inner lead bonded. The coating is dispensed with a controlled thickness and is substantially planar. A liquid encapsulant having optimum thermal, chemical and mechanical properties is selected for protecting the electrical device and which is suitably controlled in an automated liquid dispensed process. The process is directed to various parameters which are required for achieving the desired quality, reliability, and automatic processing capability.
