  • Patent number: 8120169
    Abstract: A molded leadless package (MLP) semiconductor device includes a heat spreader with a single connecting projection extending from an edge of a cap of the heat spreader to a leadframe. The heat spreader can include additional projections on its edges that act as heat collectors and help to secure the spreader in the MLP. The connecting projection is attached to a lead of the leadframe so that heat gathered by the cap can be transferred through the connecting projection to the lead and to a printed circuit board to which the lead is connected. In embodiments, the heat spreader includes a central heat collector projection from the cap toward the die, preferably in the form of a solid cylinder, that enhances heat collection and transfer to the cap. The cap can include fins projecting from its top surface to facilitate radiant and convection cooling.

  • Publication number: 20090212405
    Abstract: A stacked die molded leadless package (MLP) stacks two dice and uses leads formed integrally with top and central clips and a leadframe to avoid wire bonding. The central clip leads are source and gate leads leading to source and gate portions of the central clip common to source and gate regions of both dice. The top clip and leadframe are thus connected to the drain regions of the upper and lower dice, the leads of the top clip being drain leads connected to the leadframe leads. The central clip and leadframe leads provide source, gate, and drain terminals in the finished MLP. A method of making the MLP includes flip-chip assembly of the clips, dice, and leadframes in pairs or greater simultaneous quantities. Spacers can be employed between connected components to ensure proper alignment and distribution of bonding material.
