Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a DFN packaged high-power radio frequency device. Background Art

[0002] The structure of the current TO270 packaged high-power RF device is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a base island 1, an adhesive material layer 2, a chip 3, a lead 4, a pin 5, and a plastic material layer 6. The plastic body formed by the plastic material layer 6 is relatively thick, and the plastic material of the ordinary plastic material layer has low thermal conductivity and poor heat dissipation performance. In order to obtain good heat dissipation, the pin 11 is arranged to extend out of the plastic material layer 6. Figure 2 , usually when assembled with PCB board 7, an external heat sink 8 is added, so the PCB board needs to be designed with a through hole to bond the external heat sink 8 to the PCB board 7 through the adhesive material layer 9. Figure 3 As shown, the entire product is mounted on a PCB board, and the base island 1 of the product is connected to the external heat sink 8 through an adhesive material layer 10.

[0003] From the above, we can see that because the base island of the product in the existing technology has a concave design, the development investment cost is high, the equipment is complex, the plastic packaging material above the chip is thick, the heat dissipation is poor, and the extension of the metal pins will produce higher impedance and self-inductance, which will take up more space on the PCB board. In addition, during the packaging production, due to the low arrangement density of the frame, the copper material utilization rate is low, the product thickness is thick, the amount of plastic packaging material used is high, and the product cost is high.

It is not intended to identify key or important aspects of the invention, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the invention. Its purpose is simply to present certain concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description discussed later.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a DFN-packaged high-power RF device, improves the structure of the existing TO270-packaged high-power RF device, and uses a DFN-packaged RF device to improve the above problems. The DFN-packaged RF device product is a pinless surface mount package with a small size and small footprint. The frame arrangement density is high during packaging production, the copper material utilization rate is high, the product thickness is thin, the amount of plastic packaging material used is reduced, the product cost is low, the thickness of the plastic packaging material above the chip is thin, which is conducive to heat diffusion. The pinless design has very low impedance and self-inductance, which can meet the applications of microwave or communication. The packaging process of the DFN product is simple and the development cost is low. There are two methods for implementing the DFN-packaged RF device product.

[0006] Specifically, the present invention provides a DFN-packaged high-power RF device, comprising a plastic encapsulation material layer and a base island, a chip, leads, and pins within the plastic encapsulation material layer. The chip is located on the base island, and the pins are located on both sides of the base island, with a gap between the pins on both sides and the base island. The chip and the pins are electrically connected via the leads. The chip and the base island are bonded together via a first adhesive material layer. The upper portions of both sides of the base island extend horizontally outwardly to form protrusions, and the pins extend horizontally inwardly to form protrusions, such that the gaps between the pins on both sides and the base island are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The gap structure between the pins and the base island enhances the sealing performance of the plastic encapsulation material layer, ensuring the stability and performance of the overall structure.

[0007] As a feasible solution, the lower portion of the molding material layer is filled in the gap between the pins and the base island.

[0011] As another feasible solution, the DFN packaged high-power RF device further includes a pad, which is bonded to the bottom of the base island via an adhesive layer. Meanwhile, the lower portion of the plastic encapsulation material layer extends downward to wrap around the left and right sides of the pad.

[0012] Furthermore, the DFN-packaged high-power RF device also includes an external heat sink and a PCB board. The external heat sink is a bilaterally symmetrical structure and has a rectangular upper part and a rectangular lower part. The width of the rectangular lower part is greater than the width of the rectangular upper part.

The DFN packaged RF device is generally a pinless surface mount package with a small size and a small footprint. In addition, the arrangement density of the frame is high during packaging production, the copper material utilization rate is high, the product thickness is thin, the amount of plastic packaging material used is reduced, and the product cost is low.
