Abstract
A molded package includes an IC chip mounted on a first surface of a lead frame, and a molded resin encapsulating the lead frame together with the IC chip. The molded resin has a second surface-side opening portion that is formed to expose a chip correspondence portion of a second surface of the lead frame corresponding to the IC chip. A filler material is filled in the second surface-side opening portion. The filler material has a thermal conductivity equal to or greater than that of the molded resin and is softer than the molded resin. The chip correspondence portion has a rough surface with fine splits so as to increase a contact area with the filler material, and the filler material is in contact with the external member.
Claims7
A molded package comprising:
- a metal lead frame having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- an IC chip mounted on the first surface of the lead frame;
- and
- a molded resin encapsulating the first surface and the second surface of the lead frame and the IC chip, wherein
- the second surface of the lead frame includes a chip correspondence portion at a position corresponding to the IC chip on the first surface of the lead frame,
- the molded resin has a second surface-side opening portion on the second surface of the lead frame to expose the chip correspondence portion from the molded resin,
- a filler material is filled in the second surface-side opening potion so that the filler material is directly in contact with the chip correspondence portion and seals the second surface-side opening portion, the filler material having a thermal conductivity equal to or greater than that of the molded resin, and being softer than the molded resin,
- the chip correspondence portion has a surface shape that increases a contact area with the filler material relative to a portion of the second surface of the lead frame other than the chip correspondence portion, and
- the filler material is configured to allow the molded package to be in contact with an external member located outside of the molded package at the filler material.
