ABSTRACT:
The adhesion of plastic encapsulants to electrical leadframes containing substantial amounts of copper is improved by exposing the leadframes to an active oxygen ambient (e.g., 10-30% H.sub.2 O.sub.2) at temperatures below the leadframe annealing temperature (e.g., room temperature to 100.degree. C.) for a few minutes. There is no need to remove the native oxide. A preliminary degreasing step is desirable but not essential. The treatment strengthens any native oxide present on the leadframes without producing an oxide which is so thick as to interfere with subsequent bonding of electronic components or connecting wires to the leadframe. Delamination between the leadframe and the plastic encapsulant by temperture cycling from -65.degree. to 150.degree. C. is substantially reduced.
