ABSTRACT:
Slide forming tape-automated-bonded leads extending from an integrated circuit chip with a support ring on the leads between the outer periphery of the chip and the outer lead ends. After the leads are formed the support ring remains attached to the vertical portion of the leads opposite the chip. The present invention is well suited for minimizing and footprint on relatively long TAB leads which fan out and require a support ring to maintain proper lead pitch.
