Patent ID: 7312516

Claim:
An assembly having a semiconductor die adhesively attached to a portion of a paddle frame comprising: a chip-on-board semiconductor die having an active surface having a plurality of bond pads thereon and an opposing second surface; at least one projection connected to at least one bond pad of said plurality of bond pads on said active surface of said chip-on-board semiconductor die for direct connection using at least one of a thermal process, a pressure process, and a combination of a thermal process and a pressure process to a substrate, said at least one projection including one of at least one of a piece of wire forming a solder ball and at least one solder bump; and a generally centrally positioned paddle having a size essentially the same as said chip-on-board semiconductor die, said generally centrally positioned paddle of a paddle frame of a plurality of paddle frames solely having side rails and a plurality of cross-members connected to said generally centrally positioned paddle, said generally centrally positioned paddle for use as a heat sink for said chip-on-board semiconductor die for dissipating heat therefrom when said chip-on-board semiconductor die is mounted on a substrate, said opposing second surface of said chip-on-board semiconductor die being secured to said generally centrally positioned paddle, said generally centrally positioned paddle being attached to said side rails by at least a plurality of paddle support bars and being attached to said cross-members by said at least a plurality of paddle support bars.
