  • Patent number: 8884413
    Abstract: A leadframe (e.g., incorporated in a device package) includes a feature (e.g., a die pad or lead) with a vent hole formed between first and second opposed surfaces. The cross-sectional area of the vent hole varies substantially between the surfaces (e.g., the vent hole has a constricted portion). The vent hole may be formed from a first opening extending from the first surface toward the second surface to a first depth that is less than a thickness of the leadframe feature, and a second opening extending from the second surface toward the first surface to a second depth that is less than the thickness of the leadframe feature, but that is large enough for the second opening to intersect the first opening. Vertical central axes of the openings are horizontally offset from each other, and the constricted portion of the vent hole corresponds to the intersection of the openings.

  • Patent number: 7944031
    Abstract: Chip scale semiconductor packages and methods for making and using the same are described. The chip scale semiconductor packages comprise a leadframe supporting a die that contains a discrete device. The chip scale semiconductor device also contains and an interconnect structure that also serves as a land for the package. The leadframe contains a topset feature adjacent a die attach pad supporting the die, a configuration which provides a connection to the interconnect structure as well as the backside of the die. This leadframe configuration provides a maximum die size to be used in the chip scale semiconductor packages while allowing them to be used in low power and ultra-portable electronic devices. Other embodiments are described.
