  • Patent number: 6396142
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device having a heat radiation plate, the tips of inner leads connected to a semiconductor chip have a lead width w and a lead thickness t, the width being less than the thickness. The inner leads are secured to the heat radiation plate. Fastening the inner leads to the heat radiation plate supports the latter and eliminates the need for suspending leads. A lead pitch p, the lead width w and lead thickness t of the inner lead tips connected to the semiconductor chip have the relations of w<t and p≦1.2t, with the inner leads secured to the heat radiation plate. The heat radiation plate has slits made therein to form radially shaped heat propagation paths between a semiconductor chip mounting area and the inner leads.

  • Patent number: 6326681
    Abstract: As the semiconductor chip is large-sized, highly integrated and speeded up, it becomes difficult to pack the semiconductor chip together with leads in a package. In view of this difficulty, there has been adopted the package structure called the “Lead-On-Chip” or “Chip-On-Lead” structure in which the semiconductor and the leads are stacked and packed. In the package of this structure, according to the present invention, the gap between the leading end portions of the inner leads and the semiconductor chip is made wider than that between the inner lead portions except the leading end portions and the semiconductor chip thereby to reduce the stray capacity, to improve the signal transmission rate and to reduce the electrical noises.
