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.
Abstract:
A method of forming an identification code for wire bonders is revealed. Firstly, a chip with a plurality of bonding pads is provided and is disposed on a chip carrier with a plurality of bonding fingers. A binary-code baseline is defined on the chip carrier to divide each of the bonding fingers into a first coding area adjacent the bonding pads and a second coding area far away from the bonding pads. Then, a plurality of bonding wires are formed by wire bonding to electrically connect the bonding pads to the bonding fingers and an ID code for wire bonders is formed at the same time where each bonding wire has an end selectively bonded to either the first coding area or the second coding area of the corresponding bonding finger to form an ID code for wire bonders. Since the ID code for wire bonders is constituted by the selected locations of the ends of the bonding wires, the ID code do not get lost or damaged during packaging processes nor contaminate the packages. The ID code for wire bonders can be used to easily and quickly track malfunction wire bonders to save the identification time.
Abstract:
A rope includes two groups of yarn wires which are respectively coated by a coating made of PUC foam plastic. The coatings are arranged in parallel with each other and connected by a connection portion. The coatings can be dyed as different colors. Two or more ropes can be woven together to be a reinforced rope when necessary.
