ABSTRACT:
Semiconductor rectifier devices having oppositely extending terminals lying in a common plane are fabricated using upper and lower lead frames each comprising a pair of parallel side rails and spaced apart cross bars extending between the side rails. Cantilevered terminals are mounted along the cross bars. The cross bars of the upper frame lie in a plane downwardly off-set from the plane of the upper frame, and the cross bars of the lower frame lie in a plane upwardly off-set from the plane of the lower frame. Free ends of the terminals of the upper frame lie in a plane upwardly off-set from the plane of the upper frame cross bars, and free ends of the terminals of the lower frame are off-set downwardly from the plane of the lower frame cross bars. Semiconductor chips are mounted on the terminal free ends of the lower frame, and the upper frame is disposed on top of the lower frame with the upper frame terminals contacting the chips. The chips are bonded to the terminals and the individual rectifiers are encapsulated and severed from the frame assembly. The rectifiers include two, in-plane extending terminals.
