MCM Package Isolation Through Leadframe Design and Package Saw Process

Abstract:

A method of making a semiconductor device includes mounting at least two semiconductor dies to a die pad of a leadframe in spaced apart relation to each other, the leadframe having a plurality of preformed leads, electrically connecting each semiconductor die to at least one preformed lead of the leadframe, forming a molding structure including at least part of the semiconductor dies and the preformed leads of the leadframe, and forming a trench in the molding structure in a space between the at least two semiconductor dies, the trench separating the die pad into first and second die pad portions.
