Abstract

A method for fabricating a lead frame that includes a platform attached thereto for mounting a chip. A base frame is provided for mounting chips of various sizes. The base frame includes connection leads extending toward a central portion, which is substantially of the size of the smallest chip to mount. Connection leads are cut-out about the central portion to form an opening corresponding to the size of the chip to be mounted. A platform is soldered to at least two support leads to form the lead frame.
