Packaged IC having printed dielectric adhesive on die pad
A method of assembling a packaged integrated circuit (IC) includes printing a viscous dielectric polymerizable material onto a die pad of a leadframe having metal terminals positioned outside the die pad. An IC die having a top side including a plurality of bond pads is placed with its bottom side onto the viscous dielectric polymerizable material. Bond wires are wire bonded between the plurality of bond pads and the metal terminals of the leadframe.
1. A method of assembling a packaged integrated circuit (IC), comprising:
printing a viscous dielectric polymerizable material onto a die pad of a leadframe having metal terminals positioned outside said die pad;
placing at least one IC die having a top side including a plurality of bond pads with its bottom side onto said viscous dielectric polymerizable material; and
wire bonding bond wires between said plurality of bond pads and said metal terminals of said leadframe.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising partially curing said viscous dielectric polymerizable material to form a B-stage material before said placing.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said partial curing comprises heating 20 mins to 3 hrs at a temperature between 60° C. and 140° C.
4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising further curing said B-stage material before said wire bonding.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said further curing comprises heating 20 minutes to 3 hours at a temperature between 150° C. and 190° C.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said viscous dielectric polymerizable material comprises an epoxy.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said leadframe comprises a leadless leadframe.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising encapsulating with a mold material after said wire bonding.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said at least one IC die comprises at least a first IC die and a second IC die positioned lateral to one another on said die pad to provide a multi-chip module (MOM).
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein said die pad is a split die pad.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein said die pad consists of a single die pad.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein said printing is used for said first IC die, and further comprising dispensing a dielectric liquid polymer material is for attachment of said second IC die to said die pad.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein said printing is used for both said first IC die and for said second IC die.
