The encapsulation material encapsulates each semiconductor chip and at least portions of each leadframe.

Abstract: A system, a packaged component and a method for making a packaged component are disclosed. In an embodiment a system comprises a component carrier, a component disposed on the component carrier and an insulating layer disposed on an electrically conductive surface of at least one of the component carrier or the component, wherein the insulating layer comprises a polymer and an inorganic material comprising a dielectric strength of equal or greater than 15 ac-kv/mm and a thermal conductivity of equal or greater than 15 W/m*K.

Abstract: A lead frame strip includes connected unit lead frames each having a die paddle, a tie bar directly connecting the die paddle to a periphery of the unit lead frame, leads directly connected to the periphery of the unit lead frame and projecting toward the die paddle, and an opening in the periphery adjacent the tie bar. The openings in the periphery of the unit lead frames are spanned with an electrically insulating material that connects the tie bar of each unit lead frame to the periphery of the unit lead frame. The direct connections between the tie bars and the periphery of the unit lead frames are severed prior to subsequent processing, so that the tie bars remain connected to the periphery of the unit lead frames by the electrically insulating material and the die paddles are electrically disconnected from the periphery of the unit lead frames.

Abstract: A leadframe strip includes a plurality of unit leadframes connected to a periphery of the leadframe strip, each unit leadframe having a die paddle, a plurality of leads and a semiconductor die attached to the die paddle. The leadframe strip is tested by electrically isolating at least the leads from the periphery of the leadframe strip such that at least some of the leads extend uninterrupted beyond a final lead outline of the unit leadframes after electrical isolation from the periphery of the leadframe strip. The semiconductor dies are tested, which includes probing the die paddles and the leads that extend uninterrupted beyond the final lead outline of the unit leadframes after electrical isolation from the periphery of the leadframe strip. The unit leadframes are severed from the leadframe strip along the final lead outline of the unit leadframes after testing the semiconductor dies.

Abstract: A lead frame with patterned conductive runs on the top surface to accept a wire bonded or flip-chip or COL configuration is disclosed. The top pattern is completed and the bottom is etched away creating cavities. The cavities are filled with a pre-mold material that lend structural support of the lead frame. The top is then etch through the lead frame to the pre-mold, except with the top conductive runs exist. In this manner the conductive runs are completed and isolated from each other so that the placement of the runs is flexible. The chips are mounted and the encapsulated and the lead frames are singulated. The pattern on the top and the bottom may be defined by first plated the patterns desired.

Abstract: Semiconductor packages with a reduced-height die pad and associated methods for making and using these semiconductor packages are described. The semiconductor packages include a lead frame with die pad of reduced height so the die pad has a height that is less than that of the lead frame. The semiconductor packages may comprise an isolated and/or a fused lead finger with a portion of an upper surface of the isolated lead finger that is removed to form a concavity to which one or more bond wires may be bonded. The upper surface of the isolated lead finger may be removed so the isolated lead finger has a height that is less than the height of the lead frame. And a perimeter of a bottom surface of the fused lead finger may be removed. Other embodiments are described.
