    Abstract: A leadframe having extensions around an outer edge of a die pad are disclosed. More specifically, leadframes are created with a flange formed at the outer edge of the die pad and extending away from the die pad. The flange is bent, such that it is positioned at an angle with respect to the die pad. Leadframes are also created with anchoring posts formed adjacent the outer edge of the die pad and extending away from the die pad. The anchoring posts have a central thickness that is less than a thickness of first and second portions opposite the central portion. When the leadframe is incorporated into a package, molding compound completely surrounds each flange or anchoring post, which increases the bond strength between the leadframe and the molding compound due to increased contact area. The net result is a reduced possibility of delamination at edges of the die pad.

    Abstract: A method is for making a semiconductor device. The method may include providing a lead frame having a recess, forming a sacrificial material in the recess of the lead frame, and mounting an IC on the lead frame. The method may include encapsulating the IC and the lead frame, removing portions of the lead frame to define lead frame contacts for the IC, and removing the sacrificial material to define for each lead frame contact a solder anchoring tab extending outwardly at a lower region and defining a sidewall recess between opposing portions of the solder anchoring tab and the encapsulation material.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a leadframe package having a side solder ball contact and methods of manufacturing the same. A plurality of solder balls are coupled to recesses in a leadframe before encapsulation and singulation. After singulation, a portion of each solder ball is exposed on sidewalls of the package. This ensures that the sidewalls of the leads are solder wettable, which allows for the formation of stronger joints when the package is coupled to a substrate. This increased adhesion reduces resistance at the joints and also mitigates the effects of expansion of the components in the package such that delamination is less likely to occur. As a result, packages with a side solder ball contact have increased life cycle expectancies.
