ABSTRACT:
A leadless plastic chip carrier is constructed by half etching one or both sides of the package design onto a leadframe strip so as to create unique design features such as power and/or ground ring surrounding the die attach pad, interlocking rivet head construction for the contact pads, and an interlocking pattern for the die attach pad. After wire bonding and molding, a further etching is performed to isolate and expose contact pads. Singulation of individual chip packages from the leadframe strip is then performed by saw singulation or die punching.
