Abstract: A packaged semiconductor device that is fabricated with a plurality of conductive leads defined in a strip that beneficially includes a radio frequency shield box. The conductive contacts are located in a housing, beneficially by insert molding or by sandwiching between a bottom piece and a top piece. The housing can further include a cavity that receives a semiconductor device, and the radio frequency shield can receive another semiconductor device. Bonding conductors electrically connect at least one semiconductor device to another semiconductor device and/or to the conductive contacts. A conductive cover is disposed over the housing. The cavity beneficially includes a beveled wall and the conductive leads and the radio frequency shield are beneficially comprised of copper.

Abstract: A micro grid array semiconductor die package includes a housing defining a cavity for holding at least one semiconductor die, said housing including a plurality of insulative side walls, each of said side walls having a bottom surface and an interior wall including a top surface, and an end plate joined to said side walls; and a plurality of substantially straight conductive leads extending through at least one of said side walls, each of said conductive leads including an internal lead section extending into the cavity from the top surface of the interior wall and a external lead section extending externally from said at least one bottom surface of said side wall.

Abstract: A device package having flexible leads on a flex circuit that is insert molded into a housing. The device package includes a die attach area within the housing. The flexible leads include external ends for connecting to an external circuit and internal ends for wire bonding to a device die on the die attach area. The housing includes walls that surround the die attach area such that a device die on the die attach area can be sealed with an encapsulant. The device package is beneficially implemented in a handling frame having frame members with break tabs that are insert molded to the device package. The break tabs enable easy separation of a device package from the handling frame. The handling frames are beneficially formed into an assembly chain.

Abstract: A semiconductor package having a molded body and a plurality of conductive pins that extend from the bottom of the molded body. The semiconductor package further includes a RF shield around a protected cavity that holds a first integrated circuit. The molded body can further include an unprotected plastic cavity for holding a second integrated circuit. The conductive pins form bonding pads that are used to electrically interconnect the first and second semiconductor devices to the external environment. A cover, beneficially comprised of copper, is disposed over the molded body. The plastic cavity beneficially includes a beveled wall that improves the routing of electrical conductors between the first integrated circuit and the second integrated circuit.
