Patent ID: 11335570

Abstract:
A microelectronic device, in a multirow gull-wing chip scale package, has a die connected to intermediate pads by wire bonds. The intermediate pads are free of photolithographically-defined structures. An encapsulation material at least partially surrounds the die and the wire bonds, and contacts the intermediate pads. Inner gull-wing leads and outer gull-wing leads, located outside of the encapsulation material, are attached to the intermediate pads. The gull-wing leads have external attachment surfaces opposite from the intermediate pads. The external attachment surfaces of the outer gull-wing leads are located outside of the external attachment surfaces of the inner gull-wing leads. The microelectronic device is formed by mounting the die on a carrier, forming the intermediate pads without using a photolithographic process, and forming the wire bonds. The encapsulation material is formed, and the carrier is subsequently removed, exposing the intermediate pads. The gull-wing leads are formed on the intermediate pads.
