Abstract

An integrated circuit package system provides a leadframe having a short lead finger, a long lead finger, and a support bar. A first die is placed in the leadframe. An adhesive is attached to the first die, the long lead finger, and the support bar. A second die is offset from the first die. The offset second die is attached to the adhesive. The first die is electrically connected to the short lead finger. The second die is electrically connected to at least the long lead finger or the short lead finger. At least portions of the leadframe, the first die, and the second die are encapsulated in an encapsulant.

Claims (40)

1. An integrated circuit package system, comprising:

a leadframe having a short lead finger, a long lead finger, and a support bar;

a first die in the leadframe and electrically connected to the short lead finger;

a second die offset from the first die and electrically connected to at least the long lead finger or the short lead finger;

an adhesive attached to the second die, the first die, the long lead finger, and the support bar; and

an encapsulant encapsulating at least portions of the leadframe, the first die, and the second die.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein:

the leadframe further comprises supports forming a supported package; and

further comprising:

a second supported package stacked on the supported package.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein:

the leadframe further comprises supports forming a supported package; and

further comprising:

a second supported package that is inverted and stacked on the supported package.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the support bar comprises an interlock, a dummy lead, or a paddle.

5. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a first wire electrically connecting the first die to the short lead finger;

a second wire electrically connecting the second die to the short lead finger; and

a third wire electrically connecting the second die to the long lead finger.

6. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a first contact pad on the first die aligned to the short lead finger;

a second contact pad on the second die aligned to the short lead finger;

a first wire electrically connecting the first contact pad to the short lead finger;

a second wire electrically connecting the second contact pad to the short lead finger; and

wherein:

the short lead finger and the long lead finger are on opposite sides of the leadframe; and

the second die leaves the first contact pad uncovered.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein:

the leadframe further comprises alignment slots and alignment posts on the short lead finger and the long lead finger to form a notched package; and

further comprising:

a second notched package aligned with and stacked on the notched package by the alignment slots and the alignment posts.

8. The system of claim 6 wherein:

the leadframe further comprises supports forming a supported package; and

further comprising:

a second supported package that is inverted and stacked on the supported package.

9. The system of claim 6 wherein the support bar comprises an interlock, a dummy lead, or a paddle.

10. The system of claim 6 further comprising:

a third die;

a second adhesive attaching the third die to the second die; and

a third wire electrically connecting the third die to the short lead finger.
