Abstract: A package including a package substrate, a die-substrate assembly including a substrate including a plurality of layers including a layer having a mesh to stiffen the substrate adapted to mount one or more dice, one or more dice mounted on the substrate and a molding compound to attach the substrate to the package substrate. Various embodiments include a method comprising providing a substrate including a layer having an outer surface, depositing a metal layer on the outer surface, and etching the metal layer to form an opening, the opening enclosing an area on the outer surface to mount one or more dice.

Abstract: A leadframe for semiconductor components includes leadfingers, interconnect bonding sites for wire bonding to a semiconductor die, terminal bonding sites for terminal contacts for the component in an area array, and bus bars which electrically connect selected leadfingers to one another. The interconnect bonding sites are located on the leadframe relative to the bus bars such that shorting to the bus bars by wire interconnects is eliminated.

Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die having a circuit side and a back side, a multi layered leadframe attached to the die, a dense array of terminal contacts in electrical communication with the die, and a plastic body encapsulating the die and the leadframe. The leadframe includes circuit side leads attached to the circuit side of the die, and back side leads located proximate to the back side of the die. Both the circuit side leads and the back side leads are wire bonded to bond pads on the die. In addition, the back side leads provide electrical paths between the bond pads and selected terminal contacts that would otherwise be inaccessible due to line/space design rules. A method for fabricating the package includes the steps of: attaching the die to the circuit side leads, attaching the back side leads to the circuit side leads, wire bonding the die to the leads, encapsulating the die, and then forming the terminal contacts.

Abstract: A semiconductor component includes a chip on board leadframe, a semiconductor die back bonded and wire bonded to the leadframe, an encapsulant on the die and an area array of terminal contacts on the leadframe. The leadframe includes leadfingers, interconnect bonding sites for wire bonding the die, terminal bonding sites for the terminal contacts, and bus bars which electrically connect selected leadfingers to one another. The interconnect bonding sites are located on the leadframe relative to the bus bars such that shorting to the bus bars by wire interconnects is eliminated. A method for fabricating the component includes the steps of attaching the die to the leadframe, bonding the wire interconnects to the die and to the interconnect bonding sites, forming the encapsulant, and then forming the terminal contacts on the terminal bonding sites.
