Abstract

A semiconductor package and a method of assembly therefor are provided. A semiconductor package has a die pad and a plurality of bonding fingers. A spacer is attached to the die pad, and a large die is attached to the spacer. The large die is wire bonded to the plurality of bonding fingers using a plurality of bonding wires. The die pad, plurality of bonding fingers, spacer, large die, and bonding wires are encapsulated to form the semiconductor package. The semiconductor package can be either a single or dual row package, such as a QFN or BGA package.

Claims (18)

1. A method of assembling a semiconductor package for a large die comprising:

providing a die pad and a plurality of bonding fingers having a plurality of contacts pads thereon; and

attaching a spacer to the die pad;

attaching the large die to the spacer wherein the large die at least partially overlapping the plurality of contact pads;

wire bonding a plurality of wires between the large die and the plurality of bonding fingers; and

encapsulating the die pad, the plurality of bonding fingers, the spacer, the large die and the plurality of wires.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein attaching the spacer attaches a conductive material having a thickness in the range of about 100 microns to about 300 microns.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein attaching the large die attaches the large die overlapping the inner edge of the plurality of bonding fingers.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein wire bonding the large die attaches a wire having a substantially 90° angle bend between the die and the plurality or bonding fingers.

5. A method of assembling a semiconductor package for a large die comprising:

providing a die pad, a plurality of inner bonding fingers having a plurality of contacts pads thereon, and a plurality of outer bonding fingers;

attaching a spacer to the die pad;

attaching the large die to the spacer wherein the large die at least partially overlaps the plurality of contact pads;

wire bonding a plurality of wires between the large die and the plurality of inner bonding fingers and the plurality of outer bonding fingers; and

encapsulating the die pad, the plurality of outer bonding fingers, the plurality of inner bonding fingers, the spacer, the large die, and the plurality of wires.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 wherein attaching the spacer attaches a conductive material having a thickness in the range of about 100 microns to about 300 microns.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5 wherein attaching the large die attaches the large die overlapping the inner edge of the plurality of inner bonding fingers.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 wherein assembling the semiconductor package comprises assembling a quad flat-packed non-leaded package, a leadframe ball grid array package, or a combination thereof.
