Abstract

A method for fabricating large die package structures is provided wherein at least portions of the leadtips of at least a plurality of leadfingers of a leadframe are electrically insulated. A die is positioned on the electrically insulated leadtips. The die is electrically connected to at least a plurality of the leadfingers.

Claims (62)

1. A method for fabricating large die package structures, comprising:

electrically insulating at least portions of the leadtips of at least a plurality of leadfingers of a leadframe;

positioning a die on the electrically insulated leadtips;

electrically connecting the die to at least a plurality of the leadfingers;

encapsulating at least a portion of the leadframe and die in a mold compound; and

wherein positioning the die further comprises attaching the die to a die paddle on the leadframe.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein electrically insulating further comprises insulating with a non-conductive material located between the leadtips and the die.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising forming notches in the leadtips for receiving the die therein.

4. A method for fabricating large die package structures, comprising:

electrically insulating at least portions of the leadtips of at least a plurality of leadfingers of a leadframe;

positioning a die on the electrically insulated leadtips;

electrically connecting the die to at least a plurality of the leadfingers;

encapsulating at least a portion of the leadframe and die in a mold compound; and

wherein positioning the die further comprises supporting the die on a flip chip that is located on the leadframe and electrically connected thereto.

5. A method for fabricating large die package structures, comprising:

electrically insulating the leadtips of leadfingers of a leadframe;

positioning a die on the electrically insulated leadtips;

wire bonding the die to the leadfingers to electrically connect the die thereto;

encapsulating at least a portion of the leadframe and die in a mold compound; and

wherein positioning the die further comprises attaching the die to a die paddle on the leadframe with a conductive adhesive.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein electrically insulating further comprises insulating with a non-conductive film located between the leadtips and the die.

7. The method of claim 5 further comprising etching notches in the leadtips for receiving the die therein.

8. A method for fabricating large die package structures, comprising:

electrically insulating the leadtips of leadfingers of a leadframe;

positioning a die on the electrically insulated leadtips;

wire bonding the die to the leadfingers to electrically connect the die thereto;

encapsulating at least a portion of the leadframe and die in a mold compound; and

wherein positioning the die further comprises supporting the die on a flip chip that is located on the leadframe and electrically connected thereto.

9. A large die package structure, comprising:

a leadframe having leadfingers and a die paddle;

leadtips on the leadfingers;

at least portions of the leadtips of at least a plurality of the leadfingers being electrically insulated;

a die positioned on the electrically insulated leadtips and attached to the die paddle on the leadframe;

the die being electrically connected to at least a plurality of the leadfingers; and

a mold compound encapsulating at least a portion of the leadframe and the die.

10. The structure of claim 9 wherein the leadfingers are electrically insulated with a non-conductive material located between the leadtips and the die.

11. The structure of claim 9 further comprising notches in the leadtips for receiving the die therein.

12. A large die package structure, comprising:

a leadframe having leadfingers;

leadtips on the leadfingers;

at least portions of the leadtips of at least a plurality of the leadfingers being electrically insulated;

a flip chip that is located on the leadframe and electrically connected thereto;

a die positioned on the electrically insulated leadtips and supported on the flip chip;

the die being electrically connected to at least a plurality of the leadfingers; and

a mold compound encapsulating at least a portion of the leadframe and the die.

13. A large die package structure, comprising:

a leadframe having leadfingers and a die paddle;

leadtips on the leadfingers;

the leadtips of the leadfingers being electrically insulated;

a die positioned on the electrically insulated leadtips and attached to the die paddle on the leadframe;

wirebonds electrically connecting the die to the leadfingers; and

a mold compound encapsulating at least a portion of the leadframe and the die.

14. The structure of claim 13 wherein the leadfingers are electrically insulated with a non-conductive material located between the leadtips and the die.

15. The structure of claim 13 further comprising notches in the leadtips for receiving the die therein.

16. A large die package structure, comprising:

a leadframe having leadfingers;

leadtips on the leadfingers;

the leadtips of the leadfingers being electrically insulated;

a flip chip that is located on the leadframe and electrically connected thereto;

a die positioned on the electrically insulated leadtips and supported on the flip chip;

wirebonds electrically connecting the die to the leadfingers; and

a mold compound encapsulating at least a portion of the leadframe and the die.
