FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to packaged semiconductor devices, especially to Chip-On-Lead (COL) multi-chip packages.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In the conventional semiconductor packages, leadframes have been widely implemented as chip carriers and as electrical connection media. There are several basic packaging configurations according to the features of the chip carriers such as Chip-On-Lead packages (COL), Lead-On-Chip (LOC) packages, and conventional “chip on die pad” packages where COL packages are to attach the back surfaces of the chips, i.e., the surfaces of the chips without ICs, to certain internal sections of the leads, then the chips and the leads of leadframes are encapsulated by molding. In order to balance the upper and lower mold flows during transfer molding, at least two downset bends are formed on the leads or on the tie bars of the die pad leading to shaking of the leads. Once experienced the pressure of the mold flows during m...
