    Abstract: Disclosed are die paddle structures for leadframes and methods of attaching die to the die paddles. An exemplary die paddle comprises a sloped wall disposed around an attachment area for a die, where the sloped wall has an obtuse angle of inclination with respect to the attachment area. In one exemplary die-attachment process, solder material is disposed on the attachment area and/or the metalized back surface of a die, the die is placed over the attachment area and substantially within the opening defined by the sloped wall, and the solder is reflowed while the die is allowed to float over the reflowed solder free of external forces from a die-placement tool and to align itself to the sloped wall. Die paddles and attachment methods of the invention reduce the alignment tolerances needed to place the die.

    Abstract: A leadframe with a structure made of a base metal (105), wherein the structure has a plurality of surfaces. On each of these surfaces are metal layers in a stack adherent to the base metal. The stack comprises a nickel layer (201) in contact with the base metal, a palladium layer (202) in contact with the nickel layer, and an outermost tin layer (203) in contact with the palladium layer. In terms of preferred layer thicknesses, the nickel layer is between about 0.5 and 2.0 ?m thick, the palladium layer between about 5 and 150 nm thick, and the tin layer less than about 5 nm thick, preferably about 3 nm. At this thinness, the tin has no capability of forming whiskers, but offers superb adhesion to polymeric encapsulation materials, improved characteristics for reliable stitch bonding as well as affinity to reflow metals (solders).
