  • Patent number: 6756689
    Abstract: A power device having a multi-chip package structure and a manufacturing method therefor are provided. In the power device, a transistor, which is a switching device, and a control integrated circuit (IC) chip, which is a driving device, are mounted together in a package, thereby requiring a high insulation withstand voltage between the transistor chip and the control IC chip. The power device and the manufacturing method can simplify a packaging process by attaching the control IC chip on a chip pad of a lead frame using an insulating adhesive tape at a level with the transistor chip. Furthermore, the overall size of a package in the power device can be reduced by attaching the control IC chip on top of the transistor chip using the insulating adhesive tape. In the case of attaching the control IC chip on the top of the transistor chip, a liquid non-conductive adhesive can be used instead of an insulating adhesive tape.

  • Patent number: 6742561
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for bonding a semiconductor chip to substrate using a non-conductive adhesive tape. The non-conductive adhesive tape may be a polyimide tape. The apparatus may include a tape provider having a reel on which the non-adhesive tape may be spooled, rollers, and a tape cutter which cuts the tape to a suitable size. A tape holder and a tape presser may also be provided to hold the tape in place while the tape cutter cuts the tape. A tape pick-up tool may be provided to transfer the cut tape to a die bonding area on the substrate. The tape holder and the tape pick-up tool may include a suction opening for providing a suction force. The apparatus may further include a die pick up tool for transferring a semiconductor chip from a semiconductor chip provider to the adhesive tape affixed to the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20020109217
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor package including a non-conductive adhesive tape. The use of the non-conductive adhesive tape provides a good electrical insulation between two chips bonded on the same lead frame. The tape has a dielectric strength of 2,500 V or more. Moreover, the use of the tape prevents the defects associated with non-conductive liquid adhesives, such as voids and a delamination between a chip and a lead frame, and thus results in a semiconductor package with a good reliability. The die bonding method using the non-conductive adhesive tape in accordance with the invention is simpler than a conventional die bonding method using a liquid adhesive and insulating film. Therefore, the work time for the die bonding is shortened, and the production cost is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20010045634
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor package including: a pad having one power semiconductor device mounted thereon, and a plurality of lead frames including unbent inner frames only, the inner frame being formed on the same line as the pad and electrically connected to the power semiconductor device via a wiring, the lead frames having a first face connected to the wiring, and a second face opposite to the first face. The semiconductor package further includes a molding part formed from an insulating and heat-conductive material and surrounding the power semiconductor device, the pad, and the lead frames. The pad is electrically connected to the power semiconductor device and thereby separated from the lead frames. The lead frames include only inner leads connected to the wiring, and the bottom surface of the lead frames opposite to the top surface connected to the wiring is exposed outwardly together with the bottom surface of the pad, thereby being electrically connected to the printed circuit board via soldering.

  • Patent number: 6025651
    Abstract: A semiconductor package has a controlling IC attached to a die pad using an epoxy molding compound (EMC) pad. The EMC pad is formed so as to be slightly larger than the controlling IC. EMC pads are cut from an EMC pad pattern which is formed from a predetermined number of EMC tablets. The EMC pad pattern is molded by heating and pressing the EMC tablets into a wafer shape having a thickness of approximately 0.3 mm and a diameter of approximately 100 mm. Such a thin EMC pad is capable of providing sufficient dielectric strength, and allows for manufacturing of semiconductor packages at lower cost. In addition, conventional equipment can be used to fabricate the semiconductor packages. The packages are flexible, and even a thin package is not easily broken.
