Abstract:
A semiconductor die assembly, comprising:a semiconductor die having an active surface exhibiting a plurality of electric contact points, wherein a portion of said plurality of electric contact points resides proximate a periphery edge of said semiconductor die, and wherein a portion of said plurality of electric contact points resides proximate a center area of said semiconductor die;a lead frame having a plurality of lead fingers disposed adjacent said active surface, portions of said lead fingers of said plurlaity extending in at least partially superimposed relationship to at least some of said plurality of electric contact points;discrete conductive material elements interposed between said plurality of electric contact points and said extending lead finger portions, wherein at least some of said plurality of electric contact points are sized to support, in combination, said die from said plurality of lead fingers through said discrete conductive material elements; anda particle-filled polymer encapsulant disposed over said active surface and said lead fingers, substantially all portions of said lead fingers disposed over said active surface being located a vertical distance therefrom at least sufficient to prevent filler particles of said particle-filled polymer encapsulant from wedging between said lead fingers and said active surface.
