Patent number: 8592963Abstract: A lead frame having a die thereon connects a conductive area on the die to a lead frame contact using a conductive clip that includes a structural portion that is received with a recess-like “tub” formed in the lead frame contact. The end of the clip received in the tub is held in place during subsequent handling by a solder paste deposit until the clip and leadframe undergo solder reflow to effect a reliable electrical connection. The effective surface area between one side of the clip and the other side of the clip within the tub is different so that the surface tension of the liquefied solder formed during the solder reflow step will “draw” the clip into a preferred alignment against a “stop” surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2011Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Intersil Americas Inc.Inventor: Randolph Cruz
