Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for producing an integrated circuit package, e.g., an SOIC package, having reduced or eliminated lead delamination caused by epoxy outgassing resulting from the die attach process in which an integrated circuit die is attached to a lead frame by an epoxy. The epoxy outgassing may be reduced by heating the epoxy during or otherwise in association with the die attach process, e.g. using a heating device provided at the die attach unit. Heating the epoxy may achieve additional cross-linking in the epoxy reaction, which may thereby reduce outgassing from the epoxy, which may in turn reduce or eliminate subsequent lead delamination. A heating device located at or near the die attach site may be used to heat the epoxy to a temperature of 55° C.±5° C. during or otherwise in association with the die attach process.

Claim (Index 11):
The system of  claim 8 , wherein the die attach heating unit is configured to heat the epoxy to a temperature of about 55\u00b0 C.
