8182 results about "Lead frame" patented technology

Lead frames are the metal structures inside a chip package that carry signals from the die to the outside. The die inside the package is typically glued to the lead frame, and then bond wires attach the die pads to the leads. In the last stage of the manufacturing process, the lead frame is moulded in a plastic case, and outside of the lead frame is cut-off, separating all leads.

Leadless image sensor package structure and method for making the same

A leadless image sensor package constructed on a lead frame includes a die pad and a plurality of leads disposed at the periphery of the die pad. A molding compound, disposed on the top surface of the lead frame and being surrounding the die pad on the periphery of the lead frame, fills the clearance between the die pad and the leads and exposes, on the top surface, the die pad and the wire-bonding portion of the leads. Moreover, the lead frame and the molding compound constitute a "chip containing space" with chip set therein. Further, the chip with its back surface attached to the top surface of the die pad makes use of the wires to electrically connect to the bonding pad and the top surface of the wire-bonding portion, thereafter, a transparent lid is used to cap and seal the "chip containing space".

High frequency chip packages with connecting elements

A radio frequency chip package is formed by assembling a connecting element such as a circuit board or flexible circuit tape having chips thereon with a bottom plane element such as a lead frame incorporating a large thermally-conductive plate and leads projecting upwardly from the plane of the plate. The assembly step places the rear surfaces of the chips on the bottom side of the connecting element into proximity with the thermal conductor and joins the conductive traces on the connecting element with the leads. The resulting assembly is encapsulated, leaving terminals at the bottom ends of the leads exposed. The encapsulated assembly may be surface-mounted to a circuit board. The leads provide robust electrical connections between the connecting element and the circuit board.

Partially patterned lead frames and methods of making and using the same in semiconductor packaging

A method of making a lead frame and a partially patterned lead frame package with near-chip scale packaging lead-count, wherein the method lends itself to better automation of the manufacturing line and improved quality and reliability of the packages produced therefrom. A major portion of the manufacturing process steps is performed with a partially patterned strip of metal formed into a web-like lead frame on one side so that the web-like lead frame is also rigid mechanically and robust thermally to perform without distortion or deformation during the chip-attach and wire bond processes, both at the chip level and the package level. The bottom side of the metal lead frame is patterned to isolate the chip-pad and the wire bond contacts only after the front side, including the chip and wires, is hermetically sealed with an encapsulant. The resultant package being electrically isolated enables strip testing and reliable singulation.
