    Abstract: A packaging technique is described for QFNs, DFN, and other surface mount packages that allows the sides of leads to be plated with a wettable metal prior to the lead frames being singulated from the lead frame sheet. The leads of the lead frames in the sheet are shorted together and to the body of the lead frame sheet by a sacrificial interconnect structure. Chips are mounted to the lead frames and encapsulated, leaving the bottoms of the leads exposed. The lead frame sheet is then sawed along boundaries of the lead frames but not sawed through the interconnect structure. The sawing exposes at least a portion of the sides of the leads. The leads are then electroplated while the leads are biased with a bias voltage via the interconnect structure. After the plating, the lead frame sheet is sawed completely thorough the interconnect structure to singulate the lead frames and prevent the interconnect structure from shorting the leads together.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with a plurality of bumps formed over a surface of the first semiconductor die. A penetrable adhesive layer is formed over a temporary carrier. The adhesive layer can include a plurality of slots. The semiconductor die is mounted to the carrier by embedding the bumps into the penetrable adhesive layer. The semiconductor die and interconnect structure can be separated by a gap. An encapsulant is deposited over the first semiconductor die. The bumps embedded into the penetrable adhesive layer reduce shifting of the first semiconductor die while depositing the encapsulant. The carrier is removed. An interconnect structure is formed over the semiconductor die. The interconnect structure is electrically connected to the bumps. A thermally conductive bump is formed over the semiconductor die, and a heat sink is mounted to the interconnect structure and thermally connected to the thermally conductive bump.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a flipchip semiconductor die mounted to a first substrate using a plurality of first bumps. An opening or plurality of openings is formed in the first substrate in a location central to placement of the flipchip semiconductor die to the first substrate. A plurality of semiconductor die is mounted to a second substrate. The semiconductor die are electrically connected with bond wires. An encapsulant is over the plurality of semiconductor die and second substrate. The second substrate is mounted to the first substrate with a plurality of second bumps. An underfill material is dispensed through the opening in the first substrate between the flipchip semiconductor die and first substrate. The dispensing of the underfill material is discontinued as the underfill material approaches or reaches a perimeter of the flipchip semiconductor die to reduce bleeding of the underfill material. The underfill material is cured.

  • Publication number: 20110281402
    Abstract: A masking layer is formed on a dielectric region of an electronic device so that, during subsequent formation of a capping layer on electrically conductive regions of the electronic device that are separated by the dielectric region, the masking layer inhibits formation of capping layer material on or in the dielectric region. The capping layer can be formed selectively on the electrically conductive regions or non-selectively; in either case (particularly in the latter), capping layer material formed over the dielectric region can subsequently be removed, thus ensuring that capping layer material is formed only on the electrically conductive regions. Silane-based materials, such as silane-based SAMs, can be used to form the masking layer. The capping layer can be formed of an electrically conductive material (e.g.
