Abstract:
A surface-mount-enhanced lead frame and a method for fabricating a semiconductor package with the lead frame are proposed, wherein a dam bar structure between any two neighboring lead frames of a lead frame module plate is formed with an indentation and at least a solder metal layer is applied on the bottom surface of the lead frame and the indentation. A singulation process is performed along the indentation to separate the lead frame module plate mounted with semiconductor chips and package body into a plurality of packages. Therefore, the indentation and the solder metal layer applied thereon can provide solder paste improved wettability and increased solder surface, while the semiconductor package with the lead frame is mounted on an external device via a surface-mount-technology, so as to prevent problems of signal transmission owing to separation of solder joint from solder open.
Abstract:
A method and a system of wire bonding for use in semiconductor package fabrication are proposed. When one wire-bonded substrate unit of a substrate mounted with chips is introduced into a testing region, a next adjacent substrate unit is simultaneously formed with bonding wires in a wire-bonding region. In the testing region, the wire-bonded substrate unit is tested for wire bonding quality. If no wire opening or short occurs, the wire-bonded substrate unit is readily used for subsequent package fabrication. If wire opening or short is detected, a controlling module associated with the testing region generates a control signal to the wire-bonding region for interrupting a wire-bonding process, whereby causes of wire opening or short are overcome, and defective bonding wires are reworked. Therefore, inferiors or malfunction is timely detected, making overall fabrication process more time-effectively implemented; and inferiors are reworked for later usage, thereby significantly reducing fabrication costs.
