Patent number: 6709892Abstract: A fabrication method for an electronic device includes four steps. The first step is for preparing a leadframe with first and second conductive members. The second step is for connecting a first and a second electronic chips to the first and the second conductive members, respectively. For the third step, the first chip is enclosed by a first resin package allowing partial exposure of the first conductive member, while the second chip by a second resin package spaced from the first package. For the fourth step, the exposed part of the first conductive member is cut. The cutting is performed using first and second tools, where the first tool makes an indentation in the exposed part on a first side. On another side opposite to the first side, the second tool makes a full cut to be linked with the indentation.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2002Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: Rohm Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiko Kobayakawa, Masahide Maeda, Hiromu Kusunoki

Patent number: 6624007Abstract: A semiconductor device is fabricated in the following manner. First, semiconductor chips are mounted on a leadframe prepared from an electroconductive strip of a uniform thickness. Then, wire-bonding is performed on the respective chips, and a resin layer is formed on the leadframe to enclose the chips and the associated bonding wires. Thus, an intermediate product is obtained. Then, the intermediate product is cut into separate, finished devices by using two cutters. One of them is a relatively thin cutter, while the other is a relatively thick cutter. The thin cutter is used for making a full cut in the leadframe, while the thick cutter is used for making a half-depth cut in the leadframe.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2002Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Rohm Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiko Kobayakawa, Masahide Maeda
