  • Patent number: 8796826
    Abstract: A device and method for minimizing the forces that may compromise a lead frame mount to a support structure in an integrated circuit die package during various packaging method steps. When a window clamp is used to provide pressure during a lead frame bonding step or during a wire bonding step during packaging, the vertical force applied by the window clamp may be transferred in lateral direction by the physical contour of the top plate of the support structure. By changing the physical contour of the top plate of the support structure, such as by disposing a specific kind of contoured protrusion, one may minimize or eliminate the lateral forces that act against achieving a solid bond of the lead frame to the support structure. Further, during wire bonding, the same minimization or elimination of lateral forces lead to improved wire bonding.

  • Patent number: 8759955
    Abstract: Conventional semiconductor devices have a problem that it is difficult to prevent the short circuit between chips and to improve accuracy in temperature detection with the controlling semiconductor chips. In a semiconductor device of the present invention, a first mount region to which a driving semiconductor chip is fixedly attached and a second mount region to which a controlling semiconductor chip is fixedly attached are formed isolated from each other. A projecting area is formed in the first mount region, and the projecting area protrudes into the second mount region. The controlling semiconductor chip is fixedly attached to the top surfaces of the projecting area and the second mount region by use of an insulating adhesive sheet material. This structure prevents the short circuit between the two chips, and improves accuracy in temperature detection with the controlling semiconductor chip.

    Abstract: Semiconductor packages and methods of forming the same may be provided. According to the semiconductor package of the present inventive concepts, a bump attached to and protruded from a bonding pad on a surface of a semiconductor chip is inserted into a through-hole defined in a package substrate. As a result, a thickness of the semiconductor package may be reduced by at least a height of the bump. Because an empty space does not exist between a semiconductor chip and the package substrate, the semiconductor package does not need a conventional underfill resin layer. Accordingly, processes of forming the semiconductor package may be simplified.
