The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their repeated description will be omitted.
[0041] The words expressing positions and directions described in the present invention are all explained with reference to the accompanying drawings as examples, but they can be changed as needed, and all such changes are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 9 The present invention provides a lead frame 1, which is used to install a chip 2. The lead frame 1 includes: a frame body 11 and a heat sink 12, and the chip 2 can be arranged on the heat sink 12.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7The frame body 11 may include a lead terminal 111, one end of which may be electrically connected to the chip 2 via a lead wire (not shown), such as a gold wire, and the other end of the lead terminal 111 may be electrically connected to an external circuit, such as a circuit board. The chip 2 is electrically connected to the lead terminal 111 via a lead wire, and then electrically connected to the external circuit via the lead terminal 111, so that the chip 2 and the external circuit can communicate with each other. The number of lead terminals 111 may be one or more, and each lead terminal 111 may be connected to one or more leads. The lead terminal 111 is preferably made of a conductive material, and is further preferably made of a metal material or an alloy material.
[0044] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 , the heat sink 12 can be a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole, and of course it can also be set to other shapes as needed. In this embodiment, the heat sink 12 is a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole, and the heat sink 12 has a first surface 121 and a second surface 122 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first surface 121 and the second surface 122 are preferably two surfaces with larger areas on the heat sink 12. The chip 2 can be arranged on the first surface 121 of the heat sink 12. The heat sink 12 is used to carry the chip 2 and provide support for the chip 2. The chip 2 is preferably arranged near the center of the heat sink 12. The lead terminal 111 can be arranged around the heat sink 12 and spaced from the heat sink 12. A connecting block 13 can be arranged between the lead terminal 111 and the heat sink 12. The connecting block 13 is used to fix the lead terminal 111 to the heat sink 12, and at least part of the surface of the lead terminal 111 is exposed from the connecting block 13, so that the lead terminal 111 is electrically connected to the chip 2 through the lead wire, ensuring that the lead terminal 111 is electrically connected to the chip 2 through the lead wire.
[0045] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 7, the lead terminal 111 can be arranged around the chip 2, and the end of the lead terminal 111 connected to the lead is preferably arranged close to the chip 2, which can shorten the distance between the lead terminal 111 and the chip 2, thereby shortening the length of the lead. The end of the lead terminal 111 close to the chip 2 is preferably arranged above the first surface 121 of the heat sink 12 and spaced from the first surface 121 of the heat sink 12. A connecting block 13 can be formed between the lead terminal 111 and the heat sink 12 by injection molding. The connecting block 13 can fix the lead terminal 111 and the heat sink 12. At least part of the upper surface of the lead terminal 111 is exposed from the connecting block 13, and the upper surface of the lead terminal 111 exposed from the connecting block 13 can be electrically connected to the chip 2 through the lead. The heat sink 12 has a certain structural strength to ensure that the heat sink 12 can provide stable support for the chip 2 and ensure the stability of the position of the chip 2. The heat sink 12 is preferably made of a material with high thermal conductivity, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 12, thereby dissipating the heat generated when the chip 2 is working, and ensuring that the chip 2 can operate normally. The heat sink 12 may be made of metal or non-metal.
[0046] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 The heat sink 12 has a first side 123 and a second side 124 opposite to each other. The first side 123 and the second side 124 of the heat sink 12 can be provided with a connection block 13. A receiving space (not shown) can be formed between the connection block 13 located at the first side 123 of the heat sink 12 and the connection block 13 located at the second side 124 of the heat sink 12. The chip 2 can be provided in the receiving space, that is, the chip 2 is provided between the first side 123 of the heat sink 12 and the second side 124 of the heat sink 12. The connection block 13 located at the first side 123 of the heat sink 12 and the connection block 13 located at the second side 124 of the heat sink 12 can position the chip 2, facilitate the installation of the chip 2, and improve the accuracy of the installation position of the chip 2. The number of connecting blocks 13 may be one or more, the number of connecting blocks 13 located on the first side 123 of the heat sink 12 may be one or more, the number of connecting blocks 13 located on the second side 124 of the heat sink 12 may also be one or more, and the connecting blocks 13 located on the first side 123 of the heat sink 12 and the connecting blocks 13 located on the second side 124 of the heat sink 12 may also be interconnected to form a whole.
[0047] The connection block 13 can be connected to the lead terminal 111 and the heat sink 12 as a whole by injection molding. The connection block 13 can be coated on the lower surface of the welding part 1111 and the two outer side surfaces of the welding part 1111 at the same time, and the upper surface of the welding part 1111 and the front end surface of the welding part 1111 are simultaneously exposed to the connection block 13. The lower surface of the welding part 1111 and the two outer side surfaces of the welding part 1111 are coated by the connection block 13, which can ensure the electrical insulation performance between the welding part 1111 and the heat sink 12 and the adjacent welding parts 1111. The upper surface of the welding part 1111 and the front end surface of the welding part 1111 are exposed to the connection block 13, which facilitates the welding of the lead wire on the one hand, and ensures the heat dissipation area of the lead terminal 111 on the other hand, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance.
[0048] That is to say, the connecting block 13 can be formed by injection molding, and the material of the connecting block 13 is preferably a thermoplastic material. Thermoplastic material softens and melts when heated, and its molding process is simple, injection molding is good, and it has better plasticity, so it can better insulate the heat sink 12 and the lead terminal 111 from each other and fix them together.
[0049] The material of the connecting block 13 is further preferably polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). PPS not only has good fluidity and better formability, but also has excellent electrical insulation, so that the heat sink 12 and the lead terminal 111 are better insulated. PPS also has excellent mechanical properties, tensile strength and bending strength, so that it can resist the impact caused by the secondary injection molding of the insulating seat body 3. In addition, the high temperature resistance of the packaging component 100 is generally required to be higher than 175 degrees, and the thermal deformation temperature of PPS is 260°C, so it also has good high temperature resistance. Therefore, the connecting block 13 can better insulate and fix the heat sink 12 and the lead terminal 111 together, not only better positioning the welding part 1111 of the lead terminal 111, better ensuring the flatness of the welding part 1111, in the process of welding the chip 2 or the process of injection molding the insulating seat body 3 for packaging, it can prevent the lead terminal 111 from shifting up and down or front and back and left and right, further improving the connection stability of the chip 2 and the quality of the product. At the same time, the connecting block 13 cannot be made of thermosetting plastics, such as epoxy resin, because the epoxy resin material has a low construction temperature, poor leveling properties, and is prone to burrs. In addition, its surface is prone to surface depressions or bubbles due to insufficient tension, and is easily attached to the surface of the lead terminal 111, affecting the electrical performance, and also affecting the molding accuracy of the lead frame 1.
[0050] As a preferred method, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7, the heat sink 12 may be provided with a second groove 126, that is, the second groove 126 is provided on the first surface 121 of the heat sink 12, and part of the connecting block 13 may be filled in the second groove 126. The second groove 126 may increase the contact area between the connecting block 13 and the heat sink 12, so as to increase the bonding force between the connecting block 13 and the heat sink 12. The second groove 126 may be an undercut structure or a special-shaped structure, that is, the width of the second groove 126 does not gradually decrease from the opening of the second groove 126 to the bottom of the second groove 126, but the width of the second groove 126 gradually increases from the opening of the second groove 126 to the bottom of the second groove 126, or the width of the second groove 126 sometimes increases and sometimes decreases from the opening of the second groove 126 to the bottom of the second groove 126, that is, the side wall of the second groove 126 is uneven, so that the bonding force between the connecting block 13 and the heat sink 12 can be further increased to prevent the connecting block 13 from separating from the heat sink 12.
[0051] In the present application, the lead terminal 111 is fixedly connected to the heat sink 12 by the connecting block 13, which not only accurately positions the lead terminal 111 to avoid the lead terminal 111 from shifting up and down or forward and backward or left and right during the process of welding the lead or the process of encapsulating the injection molding insulating base 3, but also ensures the flatness of the lead terminal 111, improves the stability of the connection between the lead terminal 111 and the chip 2, and thus improves the quality of the product.
[0052] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 7 , a welding part 1111 may be provided on the lead terminal 111, and a connecting block 13 may be provided between the welding part 1111 and the heat sink 12, at least part of the surface of the welding part 1111 is exposed from the connecting block 13, so that the welding part 1111 is connected to the chip 2 through the lead. The welding part 1111 is preferably provided at one end of the lead terminal 111 close to the chip 2, so that the distance between the welding part 1111 and the chip 2 can be shortened, thereby shortening the length of the lead. The welding part 1111 is preferably provided above the first surface 121 of the heat sink 12 and spaced from the heat sink 12, and a connecting block 13 is provided below the welding part 1111, and the connecting block 13 fixes the welding part 1111 and the heat sink 12, so as to avoid the welding part 1111 from being offset in the up-down direction or the front-back-left-right direction during the process of welding the lead or the process of encapsulating the injection molding insulating seat body 3, and also ensures the flatness of the welding part 1111, improves the stability of the connection between the welding part 1111 and the chip 2, and thus improves the quality of the product.
[0053] As a preferred embodiment, the number of welding parts 1111 may be one or more. In the present embodiment, the number of welding parts 1111 is multiple, and the multiple welding parts 1111 are arranged at intervals. The multiple welding parts 1111 can be divided into two columns, each column can include one or more welding parts 1111, and the two columns of welding parts 1111 are respectively arranged on the first side 123 of the heat sink 12 and the second side 124 of the heat sink 12. In the present embodiment, the number of welding parts 1111 is six, each column has three welding parts 1111, and the two columns of welding parts 1111 can be symmetrically arranged. The number of connecting blocks 13 can be equal to the number of welding parts 1111, and the multiple connecting blocks 13 and the multiple welding parts 1111 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, one connecting block 13 is connected to one welding part 1111, so that the welding parts 1111 can be better spaced, fixed and electrically insulated.
[0054] In some embodiments, one connection block 13 may be connected to multiple welding portions 1111 at the same time, and one welding portion 1111 may also be connected to multiple connection blocks 13 at the same time.
[0055] As a preferred method, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 The surface of the welding part 1111 may be provided with a first welding layer 1112. The first welding layer 1112 may be, for example, a silver layer. The silver layer may be formed by electroplating or chemical plating. The first welding layer 1112 may increase the welding performance of the welding part 1111, facilitate welding the lead to the welding part 1111, and enhance the stability and reliability of the connection between the lead and the welding part 1111.
[0056] Reference Figure 2 A penetrating first groove 1113 may also be provided on the welding portion 1111. One or more first grooves 1113 may be provided on each welding portion 1111. Part of the connecting block 13 is filled in the first groove 1113. The connecting block 13 and the first groove 1113 form a concave-convex matching connecting and retaining structure. The first groove 1113 may increase the contact area between the connecting block 13 and the welding portion 1111 to increase the bonding force between the connecting block 13 and the welding portion 1111.
[0057] Reference Figure 3 A second welding layer 125 may be provided at a position corresponding to the heat sink 12 and the chip 2, that is, the second welding layer 125 is provided on the first surface 121 of the heat sink 12. The second welding layer 125 is, for example, a silver layer, which may be formed by electroplating or chemical plating. The second welding layer 125 may also increase the welding performance of the heat sink 12 to increase the bonding force between the heat sink 12 and the chip 2, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection between the heat sink 12 and the chip 2.
[0058] In a specific embodiment, the position of the upper surface of the soldering portion 1111 can be adjusted according to the position of the upper surface of the chip 2 when the chip 2 is mounted on the heat sink 12, so that the upper surface of the soldering portion 1111 exposed from the connection block 13 can be flush with the upper surface of the chip 2 to shorten the length of the lead. In other words, the upper surface of the soldering portion 1111 and the upper surface of the chip 2 are on the same horizontal plane, which can further shorten the distance between the soldering portion 1111 and the chip 2, thereby further shortening the length of the lead, which can not only reduce the amount of lead used and reduce the manufacturing cost of the product, but also shorten the signal transmission path, reduce the loss of the transmission signal, reduce the current loss, etc., thereby improving the performance of the product.
[0059] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 The upper surface of the connecting block 13 and the upper surface of the welding part 1111 can be arranged flush, that is, the connecting block 13 is not only connected to the side of the welding part 1111 facing the heat sink 12, but also connected to the side of the welding part 1111, that is, the connecting block 13 covers multiple partial surfaces of the welding part 1111, which not only increases the contact area between the connecting block 13 and the welding part 1111, thereby increasing the bonding force between the connecting block 13 and the welding part 1111, but also facilitates welding the lead to the welding part 1111.
[0060] In some embodiments, the connection block 13 may also cover a portion of the upper surface of the welding portion 1111, further increasing the contact area between the connection block 13 and the welding portion 1111, thereby increasing the bonding force between the connection block 13 and the welding portion 1111. The connection block 13 may also be arranged protruding from the upper surface of the welding portion 1111, or the connection block 13 may also be arranged recessed in the upper surface of the welding portion 1111, or the connection block 13 may only be connected to the side of the welding portion 1111 facing the heat sink 12, that is, the connection block 13 is placed on the lower surface of the welding portion 1111 for connection.
[0061] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 The frame body 11 may further include a riveted terminal 112, a fixing portion 1121 may be provided on the riveted terminal 112, a through hole 1122 may be provided on the fixing portion 1121, and a riveted column 127 may be provided on the heat sink 12, that is, the riveted column 127 is provided on the first surface 121 of the heat sink 12, and an expansion groove 128 is provided on the riveted column 127. When the riveted column 127 passes through the through hole 1122 of the fixing portion 1121, the expansion groove 128 on the expanded riveted column 127 is expanded so that the riveted column 127 abuts against the fixing portion 1121.
[0062] As a preferred method, refer to Figure 2, Figure 3 , Figure 7 The number of the riveted posts 127 is preferably four, and the four riveted posts 127 are preferably respectively arranged near the four corners of the heat sink 12, and each riveted post 127 is provided with an expansion slot 128, and the riveted posts 127 and the expansion slot 128 can be formed by stamping. Correspondingly, the number of the riveted terminals 112 is also preferably four, and the riveted terminals 112 are arranged to be sunken corresponding to the four corners of the heat sink 12 to form a fixing portion 1121, and the fixing portion 1121 is provided with a through hole 1122 that matches the riveted post 127. After the rivet column 127 passes through the through hole 1122 of the fixing portion 1121, a jig can be used to enter the expansion groove 128 and push the rivet column 127 outward, that is, the rivet column 127 and the fixing portion 1121 are connected together by riveting, which is equivalent to increasing the outer diameter of the rivet column 127, so that the rivet column 127 contacts and abuts against the fixing portion 1121 outward, and the matching gap between the rivet column 127 and the through hole 1122 can be reduced or avoided. In this way, the fixation and positioning between the heat sink 12 and the riveted terminal 112 can be achieved more accurately, and the stability of the connection between the welding portion 1111 and the chip 2 is improved, thereby improving the quality of the product, and avoiding the heat sink 12 relative to the riveted terminal 112 during the process of fixing and matching the chip 2 with the heat sink 12, the process of lead welding, or the subsequent secondary injection molding of the insulating seat body 3 for packaging. Position displacement, thereby causing the chip 2 and the welding portion 1111 to occur.
[0063] The expansion slot 128 is recessed downward from the upper surface of the riveted column 127 and has an inverted truncated cone structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The inverted truncated cone structure makes the bottom of the expansion slot 128 narrower and the top wider, which can provide greater expansion force. After the riveting is completed, the groove wall of the expansion slot 128 can better clamp and lock the fixing portion 1121, thereby increasing the tensile and shear strengths, and can effectively prevent the riveted column 127 from loosening or falling off during use. Under the action of the jig, the top of the riveted column 127 can be bent and extended toward the upper surface of the fixing portion 1121, so that the top of the riveted column 127 abuts against the side of the fixing portion 1121 facing away from the heat sink 12, that is, the top of the riveted column 127 abuts against the upper surface of the fixing portion 1121, so that not only can the riveted terminal 112 be prevented from being offset along the axial direction of the riveted column 127, but also the riveted terminal 112 can be prevented from falling off from the riveted column 127.
[0064] As a preferred method, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7, a height difference of different heights can be formed between the welding portion 1111 of the lead terminal 111 and the fixing portion 1121 of the riveted terminal 112, that is, the welding portion 1111 and the fixing portion 1121 can be on different horizontal planes. In this embodiment, in the thickness direction of the heat sink 12, the welding portion 1111 can be located above the fixing portion 1121, that is, the fixing portion 1121 is closer to the heat sink 12. By adjusting the height of the welding portion 1111, the upper surface of the welding portion 1111 is kept consistent with the upper surface of the chip 2, so that the two ends of the lead can always be kept in the same horizontal plane, shortening the length of the lead.
[0065] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The lead terminal 111 and the rivet terminal 112 can be connected to the same material strip 113, and the material strip 113 can connect the lead terminal 111 and the rivet terminal 112 together, which not only facilitates automated production and improves production efficiency, but also avoids the position of the lead terminal 111 and the rivet terminal 112 from being offset during the manufacturing process.
[0066] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The lead terminal 111 and the rivet terminal 112 can also be cut from the same material strip 113, which can further improve the position accuracy of the lead terminal 111 and the rivet terminal 112. The cutting method includes one or more of laser cutting, stamping cutting, etc.
[0067] Reference Figures 4 to 9 The present invention further provides a packaging component 100, comprising the lead frame 1, the chip 2 and the insulating base 3, wherein the chip 2 is arranged on the heat sink 12 of the lead frame 1, and the insulating base 3 can be formed by injection molding, the insulating base 3 covers at least a portion of the chip 2 and at least a portion of the lead frame 1, and at least a portion of the lead terminal 111 is exposed from the insulating base 3. In this embodiment, the chip 2 is completely covered by the insulating base 3, so that the chip 2 is better protected, and a portion of the lead terminal 111 is exposed from the insulating base 3 to ensure that the lead terminal 111 can be electrically connected to an external circuit.
[0068] As a preferred embodiment, the material of the insulating base body 3 can be a thermosetting material. Thermosetting materials have good bonding properties and structural strength, and have good heat resistance and thermal conductivity, thereby achieving better packaging performance for the lead frame 1 and the chip 2.
[0069] The material of the insulating seat body 3 is further preferably a thermosetting resin, such as epoxy resin. Epoxy resin has good bonding, sealing and heat dissipation properties, and epoxy resin and PPS have better bonding strength, that is, the bonding strength between the insulating seat body 3 and the connecting block 13 is improved, thereby improving the firmness of the packaging component 100 after the secondary injection molding.
