Abstract
Disclosed herein is a lead frame assembly including a frame and lead frame units each including a chip holder having first and second electrode pads; and a pin unit having a first pin, a second pin and third pins each extending from the chip holder. The pin unit extending from one of the lead frame units is connected to the pin unit of the adjacent one of the lead frame units. For the lead frame units disposed adjacent to the frame, the pin units extending towards the frame are connected to the frame such that the lead frame units are fixedly positioned within the frame. A chip packaging device including a lead frame body and a packaging structure is also disclosed.
Claims10
A lead frame assembly, comprising:
- a frame;
- and
- a plurality of lead frame units arranged in an array and made of an electrically conductive material, said array of said lead frame units includes a plurality of rows each extending along a first direction and a plurality of columns each extending along a second direction,
- said lead frame units being connected to one another within said frame and each including
- a chip holder having a first electrode pad and a second electrode pad which are electrically independent of each other and which are spaced apart from each other along the first direction, and
- a pin unit having
- at least one first pin extending along the first direction from a side edge of said first electrode pad distal from said second electrode pad,
- at least one second pin extending along the first direction from a side edge of said second electrode pad distal from said first electrode pad, and
- a plurality of third pins extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction from a side edge of said first electrode pad and a side edge of said second electrode pad;
- wherein
- an arrangement of said first and second electrode pads in each of said lead frame units is opposite to that of said first and second electrode pads in an adjacent one of said lead frame units along the second direction,
- said first electrode pads or said second electrode pads of said chip holders of two adjacent ones of said lead frame units in each of the rows are adjacent to each other along the first direction,
- said first electrode pad and said second electrode pad in each of said lead frame units respectively have pin-free side edges opposite to said side edges formed with said third pins,
- said pin unit extending from one of said lead frame units is connected to said pin unit of said adjacent one of said lead frame units, and
- for said lead frame units disposed adjacent to said frame, said pin units extending towards said frame are connected to said frame such that said lead frame units are fixedly positioned within said frame.
A chip packaging device, comprising:
- a lead frame body including
- a chip holder having a first electrode pad and a second electrode pad which are electrically independent of each other and which are spaced apart from each other along a first direction, said first electrode pad having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to said top surface, said second electrode pad having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to said top surface, and
- a pin unit having at least one first pin extending from a side edge of said first electrode pad distal from said second electrode pad to be away from said first electrode pad, at least one second pin extending from a side edge of said second electrode pad distal from said first electrode pad to be away from said second electrode pad, and a plurality of third pins extending from a side edge of said first electrode pad and a side edge of said second electrode pad to be away from said first and second electrode pads;
- and
- a packaging structure having a filling body which fills gaps among said first electrode pad, said second electrode pad and said pin unit, and a reflector cup formed on a surface of said chip holder to expose said top surfaces of said first and second electrode pads, respectively, so as to define a packaging space,
- wherein said filling body has three connecting peripheral surfaces through which said first pin, said second pin and said third pins are exposed therefrom.
