Abstract:
One or more embodiments are directed to semiconductor packages having an integrated heatsink and methods of forming same. In one embodiment, a package includes a plurality of leads that support and enclose periphery portions of the semiconductor die. The leads have first and second, opposing surfaces that form outer surfaces of the package. The first surface of the leads may form a heatsink and the second surface of the leads form lands of the package for coupling to another device, substrate, or board. The package includes encapsulation material that surrounds the semiconductor die and located between upper portions of the leads. The package further includes a back filling material (or insulating material) that is below the semiconductor die and between lower portions of the leads.
Abstract:
One or more embodiments are directed to semiconductor packages that are assembled using a sacrificial material, that when removed, separates the assembled packages into individual packages. The sacrificial material may be removed by a blanket technique such that a mask, pattern, or alignment step is not needed. In one embodiment the sacrificial material is formed on the lead frame on a connecting bar of a lead frame between adjacent leads. After the molding step, the connecting bar is etched away exposing a surface of the sacrificial material. The sacrificial material is removed, thereby separating the assembled packages into individual packages.
