Quad-flat No-leads Package - Flat No Lead Cross Section

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.

Famous quotes containing the words flat, lead, cross and/or section:

    “They all see you when you least suspect.
    Out flat in your p.j.’s glowering at T.V.
    or at the oven gassing the cat
    or at the Hotel 69 head to knee.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Many of us, whether in the jungles of Asia or on the streets of Chicago, had discovered that noble causes can lead to ignoble actions and that we were capable of sacrificing honor to a sense of efficacy.”
    —Linda Grant (b. 1949)

    “Although its growth may seem to have been slow, it is to be remembered that it is not a shrub, or plant, to shoot up in the summer and wither in the frosts. The Red Cross is a part of us—it has come to stay—and like the sturdy oak, its spreading branches shall yet encompass and shelter the relief of the nation.”
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    “To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.”
    —Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)
