  • Publication number: 20100084673
    Abstract: A light-emitting semiconductor packaging structure without wire bonding, including a heat conduction board, a light-emitting semiconductor chip bonded on the heat conduction board and a lead frame positioned around the chip. The lead frame has at least one connection section extending to upper side of the chip to connect with a conductive protruding block adhered to an active surface of the chip. The conductive protruding block is bonded with the chip and the connection section of the lead frame by larger area so that the heat conduction area is increased to enhance heat dissipation effect for the chip. It is unnecessary to save upward and outward extension room for wire bonding so that the volume and thickness of the packaging structure are minified. The chip is received in a cavity of the lead frame to form a lightweight and miniaturized heat dissipation packaging structure.

  • Patent number: 7504726
    Abstract: The present invention provides a chip and its manufacturing methods and applications. Regarding the chip, there are several solder bumps on the backside of the chip. The difference of the invented chip from the convention chips is that the solder bumps are embedded in an insulting layer and a thermal-plastic material layer of the invented chip backside and separated by a conductive layer from the insulting layer and thermal-plastic material layer. Additionally, there are some end members in the insulting layer, and the end member corresponds to one solder bump. Through the present invention, chips with different functions can be integrated together, so that the needs for having portable communication devices lighter and smaller would be met.

  • Patent number: 7470864
    Abstract: A multi-conducting through hole structure is provided. The multi-conducting through hole structure has a substrate, at least two signal lines and at least a reference line. The substrate has a through hole passing therethrough. The signal lines are disposed on a portion of an inner surface of the through hole and extended through the through hole. The reference line is disposed on a portion of the inner surface of the through hole and extended through the through hole, wherein the reference line is disposed between the lines for signal. Because the signal lines are separated by the reference line, the electromagnetic coupling generated by signals can be reduced to lower the cross-talk interference between signals passing through the through hole, so as to promote the signal-transmission quality.

  • Patent number: 7247951
    Abstract: A chip carrier comprising a laminated layer and an oxidation protection layer is provided. The oxidation protection layer is a non-electrolytic metallic coating or an organic oxidation protection film on the surface of bonding finger pads or other contacts formed by deploying a simple, fast film-coating technique. Therefore, there is no need to plate a Ni/Au layer on the bonding pads or contacts using expensive electroplating equipment for preventing oxidation and there is no need to fabricate plating lines on the chip carrier or reserve space for laying out the plating lines. Thus, the cost for fabricating the chip carrier is reduced, the effective area of the chip carrier is increased and the electrical performance of the chip carrier is improved.
