Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a substrate board and a semiconductor die attached to a top surface of that substrate board. A heat spreader is provided over the semiconductor die. A stiffening ring is positioned surrounding the semiconductor die, the stiffening ring being attached to the top surface of the substrate board and attached to a bottom surface of the plate portion of the heat spreader. Space is left on the board outside of the stiffening ring to support the installation of passive components to the substrate board. An external ring may be included, with that external ring being interconnected to the stiffening ring by a set of tie bars. Alternatively, the heat spreader includes an integrally formed peripheral sidewall portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a very thin semiconductor package including a leadframe with a die-attach pad and a plurality of lead terminals, a die attached to the die-attach pad and electrically connected to the lead terminals via bonding wires, a position member disposed upon the die and/or die-attach pad, and a molding material encapsulating the leadframe, the die, and the position member together to form the semiconductor package. The method for manufacturing a very thin semiconductor package includes disposing a first position member on one side of the die-attach pad of a leadframe, attaching a die onto the opposite side of the die-attach pad, optionally disposing a second position member on top of the die, electrically connecting the die to the lead terminals of the leadframe, and encapsulating the leadframe, the die, and the position member(s) together to form the very thin semiconductor package.

Abstract: A multichip integrated circuit apparatus includes first and second integrated circuit die mounted on opposite sides of a leadframe die paddle, with at least one of the integrated circuit die extending further toward the leads than does the die paddle. With this arrangement, the active circuit areas of both integrated circuit die can face in the same direction, and can be wire bonded to the same surfaces of the leads. This avoids wire bonding complications that are often encountered in multichip integrated circuit package designs.
