Ground-enhanced semiconductor package and lead frame for the same
First Claim
1. A ground-enhanced semiconductor package, comprising:
- a lead frame having at least one die pad, a plurality of tie bars connected with and supporting the die pad, a plurality of leads surrounding the die pad, and a plurality of ground structures surrounding the die pad;
wherein the ground structures are separated from each other and each of the ground structures comprises at least one of first ground portions directly connected to the tie bars so as to prevent deformation of the ground structure to assure grounding performance of the semiconductor package, wherein the first ground portions are separate from each other and are connected to both lateral sides of the tie bars, and a hollow-out area is formed between the first ground portions;
at least one chip mounted on the die pad and electrically connected to the leads and the first ground portion of the ground structure by bonding wires; and
an encapsulation body for encapsulating the chip and the lead frame.

Abstract
A ground-enhanced semiconductor package and a lead frame used in the package are provided. The semiconductor package includes a lead frame having a die pad, a plurality of tie bars connected with and supporting the die pad, a plurality of leads surrounding the die pad, and a ground structure, wherein the ground structure comprises at least one of first ground portions connected to the tie bars, and/or at least one of second ground portions connected to the die pad, and wherein the first ground portions are separate from each other, and the second ground portions are separate from each other; at least one chip mounted on the die pad and electrically connected to the leads and the ground structure; and an encapsulation body for encapsulating the chip and the lead frame. The separately-arranged ground portions allow thermal stresses to be released from the ground structure without rendering deformation issues.
