  • Patent number: 7154186
    Abstract: A multichip module package uses bond wire with plastic resin on one side of a lead frame to package an integrated circuit and flip chip techniques to attach one or more mosfets to the other side of the lead frame. The assembled multichip module 30 has an integrated circuit controller 14 on a central die pad. Wire bonds 16 extend from contact areas on the integrated circuit to outer leads 2.6 of the lead frame 10. On the opposite, lower side of the central die pad, the sources and gates of the mosfets 24, 26 are bump or stud attached to the half etched regions of the lead frame. The drains 36 of the mosfets and the ball contacts 22.1 on the outer leads are soldered to a printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20060189116
    Abstract: A method for forming a stud bumped semiconductor die is disclosed. The method includes forming a ball at the tip of a coated wire passing through a hole in a capillary, where the coated wire has a core and an oxidation-resistant coating. The formed ball is pressed to the conductive region on the semiconductor die. The coated wire is cut, thereby leaving a conductive stud bump on the conductive region, where the conductive stud bump includes an inner conductive portion and an outer oxidation-resistant layer.

  • Patent number: 6992384
    Abstract: A structure and method of manufacture for an improved multi-chip semiconductor package that reduces package resistance to a negligible level, and offers superior thermal performance. Housing of multiple dies is facilitated by providing electrically isolated lead frames that are separated from a common base carrier by a non-conductive layer of laminating material. A silicon die is attached inside a cavity formed in each lead frame. Direct connection of the active surface of the silicon die to the printed circuit board is then made by an array of solder bumps that is distributed across the surface of each die as well as the edges of the lead frame adjacent to each die.
