Abstract:
A lead-frame (400) for electronic devices (500) is proposed; the lead-frame is produced from a metal plate and includes a bearing structure (105) arranged in a first plane, and for each electronic device a support element (420) spaced apart from the first plane having a first surface (512) facing the bearing structure for mounting at least one chip (205) and an opposed second surface (515) for being exposed from the electronic device, the second surface being arranged in a second plane, and a plurality of interconnection elements (115) connecting the support element to the bearing structure. For each electronic device the lead-frame further includes an intermediate area (425) between the support element and the interconnection elements, the intermediate area being arranged in a third plane between the first and the second planes.
Abstract:
An assembly structure (10) for an electronic integrated power circuit, which circuit is fabricated on a semiconductor die (1) having a plurality of contact pads (2) associated with said integrated circuit and connected electrically to respective rheophores (5) of said structure, wherein a shield element (4) is coupled thermally to said die (1) by a layer (3) of an adhesive material.
Abstract:
The invention includes a multichip integrated circuit package having at least two chips electrically isolated from one another. Within the multichip integrated circuit package is a slug that is directly coupled to at least two chips, without any intervening insulating layers. The slug is physically separated at an appropriate place between the two chips, so that electrical interference between the two chips is effectively eliminated. Making the integrated circuit package begins with directly attaching the two chips to a heat dissipating slug. The heat dissipating slug can have a pre-cut groove running between the chips. Once the chips are attached to the slug, the slug is molded into the multichip integrated circuit package. Then, the slug is physically separated into two pieces from the underside, the separation running along the pre-cut groove. Usually the slug would be separated by being cut by a saw.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a heat sink for surface mount power packages, of the type comprising a conductive element having at least a surface (9) which is in contact with an exposed surface (6) of slug (5) incorporated into an IC power package (1) to be mounted on a printed circuit board (4). The conductive element (8) of the heat sink is formed by a first portion (8a) passing through a hole (7) provided in said printed circuit board (4) and by a second larger portion (8b) abutting against the printed circuit board (4). A process is also provide for mounting the heat sink (8) on an IC power package (1) and in contact with an exposed slug (5) surface of the package (1) to be mounted on the printed circuit board (4).
