Flat No Lead Cross Section
The figure shows the cross section of a Flat No lead package with a lead frame and wire bonding. There are two types of body designs, punch singulation and saw singulation. Saw singulation cuts a large set of packages in parts. In punch singulation, a single package is moulded into shape. The cross section shows a saw-singulated body with an attached thermal head pad. The lead frame is made of copper alloy and a thermally conductive adhesive is used for attaching the silicon die to the thermal pad. The silicon die is electrically connected to the lead frame by 1-2 mil diameter gold wires.
The pads of a saw-singulated package can either be completely under the package, or they can fold around the edge of the package.

And the factories they make rubbers in”

I’ll cross it though it blast me. Stay, illusion!”
