Abstract
A plastic molded SAW device (50) is provided by flip-chipping a SAW die (28) onto a die flag (16) of a lead frame (10) and attaching the two (28, 10) together by an annular ring (26, 60, 62) of an insulating material or other solder, so that an active central portion (52) of the SAW die (28) faces the die flag (16) but is separated therefrom. Electrical contacts to the circuitry on the SAW die (28) are made, most conveniently by solder bumps (36) which seal to electrode fingers (18) on the lead frame (10). This provides a very small sealed void (40, 74, 82) immediately above the active portion (52) of the SAW die (28) so that the attached die (28) and lead frame (10) combination can be over molded with plastic encapsulant (38) without such plastic encapsulant (38) coming in contact with the active region (52) of the SAW die surface (42).
