Method for manufacturing semiconductor device

摘要

In QFN packages for vehicles which are required to have high reliability, the side surface of leads is mostly covered with lead-to-lead resin protrusions, which prevent smooth formation of solder fillets during reflow mounting. When the lead-to-lead protrusions are mechanically removed using a punching die, there is a high possibility of causing cracks of the main body of the package or terminal deformation. When a spacing is provided between the punching die and the main body of the package in order to avoid such damages, a resin residue is produced to hinder complete removal of this lead-to-lead resin protrusion. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing semiconductor device of a QFN type package using multiple leadframes having a dam bar for tying external end portions of a plurality of leads. This method includes a step of removing a sealing resin filled between the circumference of a mold cavity and the dam bar by using laser and then carrying out surface treatment, for example, solder plating.

主权项

1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
(a) setting a leadframe to which a semiconductor chip is fixed in a molding die, and sealing the semiconductor chip with a sealing resin so as to form a resin sealing body on the leadframe, the leadframe comprising:
(i) a die pad to which the semiconductor chip is fixed,(ii) a plurality of inner leads extending to a side surface of the resin sealing body from an outer periphery of the die pad so as to form substantially a same plane with a bottom surface of the resin sealing body, and a plurality of outer leads connected to the inner leads, respectively, and protruding from the side surface of the resin sealing body;(iii) a dam bar connecting vicinities of outer end portions of the outer leads;(iv) lead-to-lead resin protrusion formed between the outer leads and protruding from the side surface of the resin sealing body; the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device further comprising the steps of: (b) after step (a), removing the lead-to-lead resin protrusions by irradiating a laser light to the lead-to-lead resin protrusions; (c) after step (b), irradiating a laser light to a first portion of the resin, which is at a boundary between a resin surface exposed by removing a lead-to-lead resin protrusion and a remaining resin surface, thereby removing the first portion of the resin; and (d) after step (c), forming a metal film on surface of the leadframe protruded from the resin sealing body, wherein in step (c) the laser light is irradiated obliquely relative to an irradiation direction of the laser light in step (b).
