Abstract
This invention discloses a process for packaging semiconductor device with external leads. The process includes comprises Step 1: providing a lead frame comprising a plurality of lead frame units connected by a plurality of metal beams, each lead frame unit comprising a die pad and a plurality of leads located on opposite sides of the die pad; adhering a semiconductor chip onto each of the die pad, and providing a plurality of metal connections for electrically connecting each chip to its corresponding leads; Step 2 providing a plastic molding material to enclose the plurality of the lead frame units, the metal beams, the chips, and at least portions of the metal connections; Step 3 removing a portion of the plastic molding material above the metal beams to expose the metal beams and portions of the leads in connection with the metal beams; and Step 4 separating each lead frame unit, forming a plurality of individual semiconductor plastic package components with external leads.
