摘要:
An IC package design and method of making the package design that provides anti-bridging between metal leads. The anti-bridge IC package design (10) extends bottom covercoat material (50) out onto the leads (14) a sufficient distance to prevent solder bridging that typically takes place in cup regions of gull wing shaped leads. A further feature of the invention is to provide a method of applying covercoat material (50) to the IC (10) and the leads (14) in the same process step. A resilient material wheel (60) and related manufacturing equipment is used to apply a single covercoat material (50), like epoxy, in a single step that serves as both the bottom covercoat and lead anti-bridge coat for the IC (10).
