Patent number: 8367481Abstract: A molded, leadless packaged semiconductor multichip module includes 100 has four mosfets 10, 12, 14, 16 for a full bridge circuit. The mosfets may include two N-channel and two P-channel devices or four mosfets of the same type, but four N-channel are preferred. In module 100 there are two leadframes 30, 40 for assembling the mosfets. In particular, the two N-channel and two P-channel devices are disposed between two leadframes and encapsulated in an electrically insulating molding compound 84. The resulting package has four upper heat sinks 44.1-44.4 that are exposed in the molding compound 84 for transferring heat from the mosfets to the ambient environment. No wire bonds are required. This can significantly reduce the on resistance, RDSON. The top or source-drain lead frame 30 may be soldered to the sources and gates of the bridge mosfets.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2012Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Fairchild Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Yong Liu, Qiuxiao Qian, JiangYuan Zhang, Mike Speed, JungTae Lee, Luke Huiyong Chung
