    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package structure is provided. A supporting plate and multiple padding patterns on an upper surface of the supporting plate define a containing cavity. Multiple leads electrically insulated from one another are formed on the padding patterns, extend from top surfaces of the padding patterns along side surfaces to the upper surface and are located inside the containing cavity. A chip is mounted inside the containing cavity, electrically connected to the leads. A molding compound is formed to encapsulate at least the chip, a portion of the leads and a portion of the supporting plate, fill the containing cavity and gaps among the padding patterns, and exposes a portion of the leads on the top surface. The supporting plate is removed to expose a back surface of each padding pattern, a bottom surface of the molding compound and a lower surface of each lead.

    Abstract: A packaging structure comprises a first leadframe, a second leadframe, two grounding pins, two first pins, a plurality of first wires, a plurality of second wires, and a package body. The second leadframe is coupled to the drains of a first power transistor and a second power transistor. The two grounding pins are adjacent together and coupled to the first leadframe. The two first pins are coupled to the source of the second power transistor. The two first pins are connected together through a conductive region for increasing capability of loading current. The plurality of first wires is coupled between the source of the second power transistor and the first pin to decrease the internal resistance of the second power transistor. The plurality of second wires is coupled between the first leadframe and the source of the first power transistor to decrease the internal resistance of the first power transistor.

  • Publication number: 20130075881
    Abstract: Disclosed is a memory card package with a small substrate by using a metal die pad having an opening to substitute the chip-carrying function of a conventional substrate so that substrate dimension can be reduced. A substrate is attached under the metal die pad. A first chip is disposed on the substrate located inside the opening. A second chip is disposed on the metal die pad without covering the opening. A card-like encapsulant encapsulates the metal die pad, the top surface of the substrate, the first chip, and the second chip. The dimension of the substrate is smaller than the dimension of the encapsulant. The substrate has a lumpy sidewall encapsulated by the encapsulant so that the bottom surface of the substrate is coplanar with a bottom side of the encapsulant to increase the adhesion between the substrate and the encapsulant.

  • Patent number: 8399970
    Abstract: When a metal ribbon is ultrasonic-bonded, a peripheral area of an island and hanging pins provided in the periphery of the island need to be clamped by use of clampers of a bonder to prevent the island from being lifted up. However, if no sufficiently-wide peripheral area of the island can be secured or no hinging pins can be provided due to the miniaturization of the device, there arises a problem that the island cannot be clamped. A protrusion, which protrudes toward a lead and has the same height as an end portion of the lead, is provided to an edge of the island opposed to the lead. Accordingly, when the protrusion and the end portion of the lead are simultaneously pressed by the damper, it is possible to prevent the island from being lifted up even when no hanging pin or no clamp area around the island is provided.
