Abstract:
A semiconductor die support member assembly comprising:a die pad having a surface having at least a portion for direct attachment to a surface of a bare semiconductor die using a heat-activated die-attach material disposed between the portion of said die pad and a portion of the surface of the bare semiconductor die, the die pad comprising one of a portion of a lead frame, printed circuit board, and the die attach portion of a die package; a die cover for enclosing the bare semiconductor die, the die cover having at least a portion of a surface thereof for attachment to the die pad at an interface between the die pad and the die cover; and a heat-activated electrically resistive attachment material and an energizable resistance circuit interposed between the surface of the die cover and the die pad at the interface therebetween for attaching the die cover to the die pad, the resistance circuit for generating heat when energized.
