摘要:
In a method of packaging a semiconductor IC, a tape is attached to a back surface of a lead frame array, and the lead frame array is held between an upper mold chase and a lower mold chase of a mold, with the back surface of the lead frame array upward. The upper and lower mold chases form an upper cavity and a lower cavity with respect to the lead frame array respectively. A mold compound is injected into the upper and lower cavities respectively. With respect to clearances between leads, between die pads and/or between the leads and the die pads, the mold compound injected into the upper cavity covers the portion of the tape over the clearances before the mold compound injected into the lower cavity fills the clearances, so that the tape is depressed. After curing the mold compound, removing the mold and de-taping, the mold compound filled in the clearances is recessed inward from the back surface, which increases the solderability in the subsequent surface mount process and decreases the possibility of the occurrence of lead short-circuits.

A method of assembling semiconductor devices includes placing an array of semiconductor dies on a die support. A cap array structure is provided that has a corresponding array of caps supported by a cap frame structure. The cap array structure and the array of semiconductor dies on the die support are aligned, with the caps extending over corresponding semiconductor dies, in a mold chase. The array of semiconductor dies and the array of caps are encapsulated with a molding compound in the mold chase. The encapsulated units of the semiconductor dies with the corresponding caps are removed from the mold chase and singulated. Singulating the encapsulated units may include removing the cap frame structure from the encapsulated units.
摘要:
A lead frame for a quad flat no-lead (QFN) type semiconductor device package includes a die pad, a plurality of leads that surround the die pad. The outer edge of leads includes a channel that extends from a lower surface to an upper surface of the leads. A semiconductor die is attached to the die pad. An inner edge of each lead is electrically connected to a corresponding bonding pad on the semiconductor die. The assembly is covered with an encapsulation material except that the outer edge of each lead and the corresponding channel are exposed. The channel allows solder to flow up the outer edge of a lead when the QFN device is soldered to a substrate, which improves the ability to perform visual inspection of the solder-lead connection.
