Abstract:
A method of forming a resin shielding semiconductor device, comprising:preparing a lower platen having a lower cavity, a lower resin passage and a gate to connect the lower resin passage to the lower cavity, the lower passage having a first region and a second region including a slope region, the lower passage having a first depth in the first region and having a second depth, which is thinner than the first depth, in the second region, and one end of the second region being connected to the first region and the other end of the second region being connected to the gate with the slope region; preparing an upper platen having an upper cavity and an upper resin passage, the upper resin passage being connected to the lower resin passage to form a runner after one of the platens is moved toward the other until they contact; sandwiching a lead frame by the upper platen and the lower platen, the lead frame having a first region in which a semiconductor chip can be encapsulated with resin and a second region in which an opening is formed, the opening having one end, which extends to the first region and an opposite end being rounded, and the opening being aligned with the second region of the lower resin passage of the lower platen and the one end of the opening being aligned with the gate of the lower platen; introducing a resin material into the upper and lower cavities via the runner and gate through the opening of the lead frame; removing the lead frame from the upper and lower platens wherein the resin material, which is solidified in the runner and the gate formed by the upper and lower platens and in the opening of the lead frame, attaches to the lead frame; and detaching the resin material formed in the runner from the gate wherein the resin material formed in the opening of the lead frame is removed completely by detaching the resin material formed in the runner.
