    Abstract: A semiconductor device package having a cavity formed using film-assisted molding techniques is provided. Through the use of such techniques the cavity can be formed in specific locations in the molded package, such as on top of a device die mounted on the package substrate or a lead frame. In order to overcome cavity wall angular limitations introduced by conformability issues associated with film-assisted molding, a gel reservoir feature is formed so that gel used to protect components in the cavity does not come in contact with a lid covering the cavity or the junction between the lid and the package attachment region. The gel reservoir is used in conjunction with a formed level setting feature that controls the height of gel in the cavity. Benefits include decreased volume of the cavity, thereby decreasing an amount of gel-fill needed and thus reducing production cost of the package.

  • Patent number: 8609468
    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor device having suspension leads with less distortion. In QFN having a plurality of external terminal portions at the periphery of the bottom surface of a sealing body, a plurality of leads is linked to a plurality of long suspension leads of the QFN at an intermediate portion thereof or at between the intermediate portion and a position near the die pad. These long suspension leads are each supported by these leads, making it possible to suppress distortion of each of the suspension leads in a wire bonding step or molding step in the fabrication of the QFN.

  • Patent number: 8592963
    Abstract: 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.
