Abstract:
1. A semiconductor chip mounting component comprising: (a) a support structure adapted for engagement with a semiconductor chip having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a gap extending through said support structure between said surfaces and defining first and second portions of said support structure on opposite sides of the gap; (b) at least one elongated bus disposed alongside said gap, on said second portion of said support structure; (c) a plurality of electrically conductive leads, each said lead having a connection section extending across said gap, said connection section having a first end disposed on the first portion of the support structure, and a second end secured to said bus, and a frangible section disposed between the first and second ends of said connection section, said frangible section having a cross-sectional area that is smaller than a cross-sectional area of said connection section, said gap being open at said bottom surface of said support structure; and (d) a semiconductor chip disposed beneath said bottom surface of said support structure, wherein said leads are adapted to be bonded to contacts on said semiconductor chip disposed beneath said bottom surface by breaking the frangible sections of said leads so as to disconnect said second ends of said leads from the bus and engage the leads with the contacts of said semiconductor chip.
