Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a lead frame having a die support area and a plurality of inner and outer row leads surrounding the die support area, and a semiconductor die mounted on the die support area and electrically connected to the leads with bond wires. A molding material encapsulates the semiconductor die, the bond wires, and the leads, and defines a package body. The semiconductor device further includes connection bars extending vertically from the leads to a top surface of the package body. The connection bars connect the inner row leads to respective ones of the outer row leads before the molding process is performed.
Abstract:
A method for assembling a quad flat no-lead (QFN) device includes mounting and electrically connecting a die to a pre-plated lead frame (PPF) to form a sub-assembly, where the plating is solder-wettable and the lead frame has notches in the lead fingers located along the device boundary. The sub-assembly is then encapsulated to (1) leave the distal ends of the lead fingers exposed and (2) have the edge of the encapsulant adjacent to the notches. The sub-assembly is then singulated to leave distal lead segments protruding from the resulting device. The protruding exposed segments are then bent to be substantially parallel to the device sidewalls. Consequently, the plated surface of each lead extends along portions of both the bottom and one side of the device.
Abstract:
A semiconductor package is assembled using first and second lead frames. The first lead frame includes a die flag and the second lead frame includes lead fingers. When the first and second lead frames are mated, the lead fingers surround the die flag. Side surfaces of the die flag are partially etched to form an extended die attach surface on the die flag, and portions of the top surface of each of the lead fingers also are partially etched to form lead finger surfaces that are complementary with the etched side surfaces of the die flag. A semiconductor die is attached to the extended die attach surface and bond pads of the semiconductor die are electrically connected to the lead fingers. An encapsulating material covers the die, electrical connections, and top surfaces of the die flag and lead fingers.
Abstract:
A method of making semiconductor devices includes producing an array of first lead frames having rows of first electrical contact elements on respective sides. Sub-assemblies are produced by applying a first molding compound peripherally to provide support between the first electrical contact elements of each of the first lead frames, and singulating the sub-assemblies. An array of assemblies is produced, each of which includes a second lead frame having rows of second electrical contact elements on respective sides, a respective one of the sub-assemblies disposed in the second lead frame with the rows of first electrical contact elements nested adjacent to and inside the rows of second electrical contact elements, and a semiconductor die mounted on the sub-assembly. The assemblies are encapsulated using a second molding compound with the rows of first and second electrical contact elements exposed on adjacent sides of an active face of the respective assembly.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a lead frame having a down bond area, a die attach area and a dam formed between the down bond area and the die attach area. A bottom of the dam is attached on a surface of the lead frame. The dam prevents contamination of the down bond area from die attach material, which may occur during a die attach process.

Abstract:
The invention disclosed a method for forming high aspect ratio patterning structure. Firstly, forming a dielectric film ashing stop layer, a first photoresist layer, a first hard mask layer and a second photoresist layer on a semiconductor substrate in turn. A second hard mask layer having a high etch selectivity ratio with the first photoresist layer is formed on top surface and sidewall of the pattern by utilizing a low temperature chemical vapor deposition process, which can be a protect for the pattern sidewall during the later etching process of the first photoresist layer. So, the cone-shaped or the bowling-shaped photoresist morphology caused by plasma bombardment can be avoided. Therefore, the problems of the insufficient of selectivity ratio, burrs at the edge of the pattern and larger critical dimension can be solved, and the implanted ions can be well distributed according to the design of the device.

Abstract:
Automatically arranging icons on a user interface is provided. A plurality of icons associated with items are received and displayed on the user interface. An importance score for each icon of the plurality of icons and a similarity score between two or more of the plurality of icons are determined. Further, a user interface coordinate is assigned to at least a portion of the plurality of icons based on the importance and similarity scores. The user interface is then displayed with the at least a portion of the plurality of icons according to the user interface coordinate.
