Abstract:
A flat package (10) for semiconductor integrated circuit devices allows edge-mounting and surface-mount. The package may be molded plastic (12) containing a semiconductor chip (11), and flat leads (14) extend from one edge of the package. The leads are bent to provide an area (18) to solder to conductors on a PC board. Mechanical positioning, mechanical support and spacing are provided by studs (15) extending from the edge of the package adjacent the leads. The studs have stops (17) formed at a position even with flat outer surfaces of the bent leads; the portion outward of the stops fits into holes in the PC board.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for delivering electrical power to a semiconductor die is provided in which a metal frame (104) is applied to the top surface of a semiconductor die. The metal frame include two voltages leads (106, 108), each adjacent to each series of bond pads (116) formed on the top surface of the semiconductor die. Each voltage lead includes a longitudinal portion (122) adjacent bond pads (116) in the center of the semiconductor die and corner portions (124) or arm portions (125) adjacent bond pads (116) located in the quadrants (114) of the semiconductor die.
Abstract:
In a lead on chip, LOC, integrated circuit packaging arrangement (10), the conductors (46) terminate in fingers (50) that receive the bond wires (20). Adjacent the fingers (50), the conductors (46) have arm parts (52) extending over the major face of the integrated circuit (12). These arm parts (52) are formed by stamping, rolling or otherwise to present an upwardly opening channel with at least the bottom lateral margins (54, 56) of the arm part (52) raised above the plane of the bottom surface (58) of the arm part (52). This reduces sagging of the arm part (52) and capacitive interaction with the integrated circuit.
