Patents by Inventor Sueo Kawai

Sueo Kawai has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6919622
    Abstract: As the semiconductor chip is large-sized, highly integrated and speeded up, it becomes difficult to pack the semiconductor chip together with leads in a package. In view of this difficulty, there has been adopted the package structure called the “Lead-On-Chip” or “Chip-On-Lead” structure in which the semiconductor and the leads are stacked and packed. In the package of this structure, according to the present invention, the gap between the leading end portions of the inner leads and the semiconductor chip is made wider than that between the inner lead portions except the leading end portions and the semiconductor chip thereby to reduce the stray capacity, to improve the signal transmission rate and to reduce the electrical noises.

  • Patent number: RE37690
    Abstract: A lead frame and a semiconductor device wherein a through hole is formed in the center of a semiconductor chip-mounting surface of a chip pad at the center of the lead frame, the through hole being tapered or being one which corresponds to a surface area that is greater on the surface of the chip-mounting surface of the chip pad than on the surface of the side opposite to the chip-mounting surface thereof. This prevents the occurrence of cracks in the sealing plastic portion in the step of reflow soldering of the lead frame to the substrate.

  • Patent number: RE43443
    Abstract: In order to improve the package body cracking resistance of an LSI package at the reflow soldering and to provide both a leadframe suitable for fabricating the LSI package according to the flexible manufacturing system and an LSI using the leadframe, the adhered area between a semiconductor chip 2 and a resin is enlarged by making the external size of a die pad 3 smaller than that of the semiconductor chip to be mounted thereon. Moreover, a variety of semiconductor chips 2 having different external sizes can be mounted on the die pad 3 by cutting the leading ends of leads 5 to a suitable length in accordance with the external sizes of the semiconductor chips 2.
