Abstract:
A method for coupling a lead frame to a semiconductor die, the lead frame having first and second voltage leads and a plurality of signal leads, comprising the steps of:providing a semiconductor die having an integrated circuit, said semiconductor die having four corners and a top surface; forming in groups a plurality of bond pads in each of the four corners of the top surface of the semiconductor die; providing a lead frame having a plurality of signal leads and said first and second voltage leads; coupling the lead frame to the top surface of the semiconductor die such that the first and second voltage leads of the lead frame are each coupled at each of the four corners of the semiconductor die adjacent to a said bond pad of the semiconductor die, each of said pair of voltage leads having a portion which extends on said die to each said corner and is in proximity with the other of said voltage leads and is interleaved with portions of said other of said leads at each said corner; and coupling a plurality of bond wires from the bond pads of the semiconductor die to the first and second voltage leads of the lead frame.
