  • Publication number: 20090236714
    Abstract: A method for making a flip chip in a leaded molded package is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes using a leadframe structure including a die attach region and leads. The die attach region includes depressions proximate the inner portions of the leads, and an aperture in the die attach region. A semiconductor die is mounted to the die attach region. A molding material passes through the aperture and covers the first surface of the semiconductor die and the die attach region.

  • Patent number: 7586178
    Abstract: A semiconductor package is disclosed. The package includes a leadframe structure comprising a die attach region and plurality of leads. A molding material is molded around at least a portion of the leadframe structure, and comprises a window. A semiconductor die comprising an edge is mounted on the die attach region and is within the window. A gap is present between the edge of the semiconductor die and the molding material.

  • Patent number: 7582956
    Abstract: A chip device that includes a leadframe, a die and a mold compound. The backside of the die is metallized and exposed through a window defined within a mold compound that encapsulates the die when it is coupled to the leadframe. Leads on the leadframe are coupled to source and gate terminals on the die while the metallized backside of the die serves as the drain terminals.

  • Patent number: 7576429
    Abstract: The invention claimed is a packaged semiconductor device with dual exposed surfaces and a method of manufacturing the device. A thermal clip and one or multiple source pads are exposed on opposite ends of the device through a nonconductive molding material used to package the device. The thermal clip and source pad can be either top or bottom-exposed. The gate, source and drain leads are exposed through the molding material, and all leads are coplanar with the bottom-exposed surface. The device can have multiple semiconductor dies or various sized dies while still having a single, constant footprint. The method of manufacturing requires attaching the semiconductor die to a thermal clip, and then attaching the die with the attached thermal clip to a lead frame. The resulting device is then molded, marked, trimmed and singulated, in this order, creating a packaged semiconductor device with dual exposed surfaces.

  • Patent number: 6943434
    Abstract: A packaging assembly for semiconductor devices and a method for making such packaging is described. The invention provides a non-Pb bump design during a new flip-chip method of packaging. The design uses special conductive materials in a stud form, rather than a solder ball containing Pb. This configuration maintains a desirable solder thickness between the die and the leadframe and forms a high standoff by restricting solder wettabilty on the leadframe side. This configuration also absorbs any stress and protects the die from cracking. The invention also provides methods for making such semiconductor packages.
