Patent Images
1. A semiconductor die assembly, comprising:
- a semiconductor die having a periphery and an active surface;
a lead frame including a plurality of lead elements, at least some of which extend from beyond said die periphery inwardly over said active surface of said die; and
at least one adhesive segment disposed between and adhering an underside of a portion of said lead frame and said active surface to support said die from said lead frame underside;
wherein a majority of said inwardly extending lead elements extend in a cantilevered manner for the majority of each of their respective lengths over said active surface.

Abstract
An LOC die assembly including a die dielectrically adhered to the underside of a lead frame. The adhesive is applied over a minimum cross-sectional area and number of attachment points to maximize flexure of leads extending over the active surface of the die. In this manner, flexure of the leads to accommodate filler particles lodged between the leads and the active surface of the die during transfer molding of a plastic encapsulant is maximized, and the point stresses on the active surface caused by the filler particles are reduced by the lead flexure.
