Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes an IC die and encapsulation material surrounding the IC die. A first set of leads is coupled to the IC die and has first contact pads exposed on a bottom surface of the encapsulation material adjacent its periphery. A second set of leads is coupled to the IC die and has second contact pads exposed on the bottom surface of the encapsulation material adjacent its periphery. The second set of leads has internal ends extending laterally inwardly from respective ones of the second contact pads to define a die pad area supporting the IC die.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to leadframe strips and methods of forming packages that include first separating adjacent leads of a leadframe strip and subsequently singulating components into individual packages. In one embodiment, the adjacent leads are separated by etching through the leads, thereby providing electrical isolation of the adjacent packages. In that regard, if desired, the individual adjacent packages may be electrically tested in leadframe strip form. Subsequently, the individual packages are formed by sawing through the encapsulation material.
