Hybrid frame with lead-lock tape

摘要

A hybrid lead frame having leads for conventional lead-to-I/O wire bonding, and leads for power and ground bussing that extend over a surface of the semiconductor die is provided where the leads for bussing are held in place by lead-lock tape to prevent bending and/or other movement of the bussing leads during manufacturing. More specifically, the lead-lock tape is transversely attached across a plurality of bussing leads proximate to and outside of the position where the die is to be attached.
