Abstract

An architecture for a dual-chip IC package and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The dual-chip IC package allows two chips to be mounted on the same leadframe in the same package. The two chips can be either the same type of a semiconductor device or two different types of semiconductor devices with different functions such as a memory chip and a logic control chip. The architecture allows a simplified manufacturing process and an increased good yield rate for the two IC chips that are to be enclosed in the dual-chip IC package. Moreover, the dual-chip IC package can be manufactured with existing packaging equipment and processes, so that it can be realized without having to invest on and install additional ones.
