Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: forming a package paddle; forming a lead adjacent the package paddle, the lead having a hole in a lead body top side and a lead ridge protruding from a lead non-horizontal side; mounting an integrated circuit over the package paddle; connecting an electrical connector to the lead and the integrated circuit; and forming a fill layer within the hole.

Claims (40)

1. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

forming a package paddle;

forming a lead adjacent the package paddle, the lead having a hole in a lead body top side and a lead ridge protruding from a lead non-horizontal side, wherein forming the lead includes forming the lead having a lower step in the hole and an inner surface at a lower end of the hole;

attaching an attach layer to the package paddle;

mounting an integrated circuit over the package paddle with the attach layer attached to the integrated circuit;

connecting an electrical connector to the lead and the integrated circuit; and

forming a fill layer exposing a bottom surface of the lead ridge and within the hole.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the fill layer includes forming a passivation layer within the hole.

3. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

forming a package paddle;

forming a lead adjacent the package paddle, the lead having a hole in a lead body top side and a lead ridge protruding from a lead non-horizontal side, wherein forming the lead includes forming the lead having a lower step in the hole and an open lower end of the hole;

attaching an attach layer to the package paddle;

mounting an integrated circuit over the package paddle with the attach layer attached to the integrated circuit;

connecting an electrical connector to the lead and the integrated circuit; and

forming a fill layer exposing a bottom surface of the lead ridge and within the hole.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 wherein forming the fill layer includes forming a passivation layer within the hole.

5. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a package paddle;

a lead adjacent the package paddle, the lead having a hole in a lead body top side and a lead ridge protruding from a lead non-horizontal side, wherein the lead includes a lower step in the hole and an inner surface at a lower end of the hole;

an attach layer attached to the package paddle;

an integrated circuit over the package paddle, wherein the integrated circuit is over the package paddle with the attach layer attached to the integrated circuit;

an electrical connector connected to the lead and the integrated circuit;

a fill layer exposing a bottom surface of the lead ridge and within the hole.

6. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the lead includes a conductive lead top layer with the hole therethrough.

7. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the fill layer is coplanar with a conductive lead bottom layer of the lead.

8. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the package paddle includes a paddle recess with the integrated circuit mounted within the paddle recess.

9. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the lead includes a conductive lead bottom layer and the hole at a bottom layer periphery of the conductive lead bottom layer.

10. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the fill layer is a passivation layer within the hole.

11. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a package paddle;

a lead adjacent the package paddle, the lead having a hole in a lead body top side and a lead ridge protruding from a lead non-horizontal side, wherein the lead includes a lower step in the hole and an open lower end of the hole

an attach layer attached to the package paddle;

an integrated circuit over the package paddle, wherein the integrated circuit is over the package paddle with the attach layer attached to the integrated circuit;

an electrical connector connected to the lead and the integrated circuit;

a fill layer exposing a bottom surface of the lead ridge and within the hole.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the fill layer is a passivation layer within the hole.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the lead includes a conductive lead top layer with the hole therethrough.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the fill layer is coplanar with a conductive lead bottom layer of the lead.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the package paddle includes a paddle recess with the integrated circuit mounted within the paddle recess.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the lead includes a conductive lead bottom layer and the hole at a bottom layer periphery of the conductive lead bottom layer.
