Abstract

Structure and process for providing a hard metallic leadframe directly bonded to a semiconductor chip without the necessity for solder or soft intermediate leadframes. The structure provides a strong bond at the semiconductor chip with the possibility for multiple simultaneous lead attachment of a leadframe having sufficient strength to serve as the external leads. The bonded structure may be conventionally encapsulated in a plastic or ceramic package, or may be glassed to provide a minimum volume hermetic chip.
