Abstract
A TAB device (10) is coupled to a circuit board (12). The TAB device (10) includes a semiconductor die (11) having leads (18) extending therefrom. A material layer (30), typically a polyimide layer, covers the inward portion of the leads (18) to maintain leading position during attachment of the TAB device (10) to the circuit board (12). Prior to attachment, a backside encapsulation region (40) is applied to the backside of the TAB device (10), sealing the backside of the leads (18). The backside encapsulation material is selected to have a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the first material layer (18). The backside encapsulation material is selected to have a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the first material layer (30), to prevent excessive warpage. During attachment, migration of the die attach layer (22) towards the leads will be stopped by the backside encapsulation region (40), preventing the die attach material from shorting the leads (18) of the device (10).
