The first one end portion can include an optical chip mounted thereon, and the second one end portion can be connected to another electrode of the optical chip via a bonding wire. The first lead frame electrode extends from an outside surface substantially perpendicular to the bottom portion and is bent in a direction towards the opening. The second lead frame electrode extends from an outside surface of the casing that is opposite to the outside surface from which the first electrode extends. Various physical configurations of the electrodes are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7663223
    Abstract: A coupling substrate for semiconductor components includes a patterned metal layer on a topside of an insulating carrier. Metal tracks project beyond the insulating carrier, the metal tracks being angled away at the lateral edges of the carrier in the direction of the underside of the carrier and projecting beyond the underside of the carrier. The metal tracks have a metal coating, thereby enlarging each cross section such that the metal tracks form dimensionally stable, flat, conductor external contacts of the coupling substrate.

  • Patent number: 7619307
    Abstract: A leadframe-based semiconductor package and a leadframe for the package are revealed. The semiconductor package primarily includes parts of the leadframe including one or more first leads, one or more second leads, and a supporting bar disposed between the first leads and the second leads and further includes a chip attached to the first leads, the second leads and the supporting bar, a plurality of bonding wires and an encapsulant. The supporting bar has an extended portion projecting from the first bonding finger and the second bonding finger and connected to a non-lead side of the encapsulant wherein the extended portion has an arched bend to absorb the pulling stresses and to block stress transmission. Cracks caused by delamination of the supporting bar will not be created during trimming the supporting bar along the non-lead side of the encapsulant. Moisture penetration along the cracks of the supporting bar to the die-bonding plane under the chip is desirably prevented.

  • Publication number: 20090224377
    Abstract: A semiconductor device having linear zigzag(s) for wire bonding is revealed, primarily comprising a chip, a plurality of leads made of a lead frame and a plurality of bonding wires electrically connecting the chip and the leads. At least one of the leads has a linear zigzag including a first finger and a second finger connected each other in a zigzag form. One end of one of the bonding wire is bonded to a bonding pad on the chip and the other end is selectively bonded to either the first finger or the second finger but not both in a manner that the wire-bonding direction of the bonding wire is parallel to or in a sharp angle with the direction of the connected fingers for easy wire bonding processes. Therefore, the semiconductor device can assemble chips with diverse dimensions or with diverse bonding pads layouts by flexible wire-bonding angles at linear zigzag to avoid electrical short between the adjacent leads.

  • Publication number: 20090160038
    Abstract: A LOC leadframe-based semiconductor package includes a chip with multiple rows of bonding pads. At least a bus bar is attached to the chip and is disposed between a first row of bonding pads and the fingers of the leads. A plurality of bonding wires electrically connect the first row of bonding pads to the fingers of the leads. The portion of the bus bar attached to the active surface of the chip includes a bent section bent away from the fingers. A long bonding wire electrically connects one of a second row of bonding pads to one of the fingers of the leads by overpassing the bent section. Therefore, the distance between the long bonding wire and the bus bar is increased to avoid electrical short between the long bonding wire and the bus bar and to enhance the quality of electrical connections of the LOC semiconductor package.

  • Patent number: 7541665
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor is constituted using magnetic sensor chips mounted on stages supported by interconnecting members and a frame having leads in a lead frame. Herein, the stages are inclined upon plastic deformation of the interconnecting members. When the frame is held in a metal mold and the stages are pressed, the interconnecting members are elastically deformed, so that the magnetic sensor chips are bonded onto the stages placed substantially in the same plane and are then wired with the leads. Thereafter, the stages are released from pressure, so that the interconnecting members are restored from the elastically deformed states thereof. When the magnetic sensor chips are combined together to realize three sensing directions, it is possible to accurately measure three-dimensional bearings of magnetism, and the magnetic sensor can be reduced in dimensions and manufactured with a reduced cost therefore.
