LEAD FRAME PANEL AND METHOD OF PACKAGING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES USING THE LEAD FRAME PANEL

摘要

A lead frame panel (40) includes a body (42) having an array of die support areas (44) for receiving respective semiconductor dies. The die support areas (44) are surrounded by leads (46). Adjacent rows of leads are coupled by half-etched connection bars (48), such that each half-etched portion of the connection bars (48) forms a channel into which a mold compound (54) is injected.
