Abstract

A wire-bonding method and a semiconductor package using the same are provided. The semiconductor package includes a carrier; a chip mounted on the carrier; a plurality of first wires and second wires alternatively arranged in a stagger manner, with a wire loop of each second wire being downwardly bent to form a deformed portion so as to provide a height different between the wire loops of each first wire and each second wire, wherein the first and second wires electrically connect the chip to the carrier; and an encapsulant for encapsulating the chip, the first wires, the second wires and a portion of the carrier. The height difference between the wire loops of each first wire and each second wire increases a pitch between adjacent first and second wires thereby preventing the wires from contact and short circuit with each other due to wire sweep during an encapsulation process.

Dependent claims

A semiconductor package, comprising:

at least one chip having an active surface, wherein a plurality of first bonding points are formed on the active surface of the chip;
a carrier having a plurality of conductive members and mounted with the chip thereon, wherein a plurality of second bonding points are formed on the conductive members;
a plurality of first wires and a plurality of second wires alternatively arranged with the first wires in a staggered manner, wherein the first wires and the second wires electrically connect the first bonding points of the chip to the second bonding points on the conductive members of the carrier, and wire loops of the second wires are each downwardly deformed to form a deformed portion being lower in height than the active surface of the chip so as to provide a height difference between the wire loop of each of the second wires and that of each of the first wires;
and
an encapsulant for encapsulating the chip, the first wires, the second wires and a portion of the carrier.
