| 20090072362 | THERMAL ENHANCED UPPER AND DUAL HEAT SINK EXPOSED MOLDED LEADLESS PACKAGE - A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor device | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090166850 | High-Power Semiconductor Die Packages With Integrated Heat-Sink Capability and Methods of Manufacturing the Same - An exemplary semiconductor die package of the invention has a metal-oxide substrate disposed between a first surface of a semiconductor die and a heat-sinking component, with a conductive die clip or one or more electrical interconnect traces disposed between the metal-oxide substrate and the first surface of the semiconductor die. The heat-sinking component may comprise a heat sink, or an adaptor plate to which a heat sink may be coupled. The conductive die clip or electrical trace(s) provides electrical connection(s) to the first surface of the semiconductor die, while the metal-oxide substrate electrically insulates the die from the heat-sinking component, and provides a path of high thermal conductivity between the die and the heat-sinking component. The second surface of the semiconductor die may be left free to connect to a circuit board, or a leadframe or interconnect substrate may be attached to it. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090261461 | SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE WITH LEAD INTRUSIONS - Semiconductor packages comprising a plurality of lead fingers containing a lead intrusion at the edge of the lead fingers are described. The semiconductor packages comprise an integrated circuit chip that is connected to a die pad and is electrically connected to multiple lead fingers. One or more of the lead fingers may have a lead intrusion disposed on the external exposed lower surface of the lead finger. The lead intrusion may have a height that is about ⅕ to about ½ the height of a lead finger, a width that is about ⅕ to about 1/2 the width of a lead finger, and a depth that is about ¼ to about ¾ the length of the externally exposed lower surface of a lead finger. The lead intrusion increases the area on the lead finger that contacts a bond material, such as solder, and therefore increase the strength of the joint between the semiconductor package and an external surface to which the lead finger is connected (i.e., a PCB). The lead intrusion allows out gassing during reflow of the bond material which may reduce voiding. The lead intrusion can also increase bond joint reliability by providing longer crack propagation length. | 10-22-2009 |
