[0028] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0029] Reference Figure 1The utility model discloses a semiconductor package lead frame, including a frame body 100 and a base island 300. The frame body 100 is provided with an avoidance hole 110, and the inner wall of the avoidance hole 110 is provided with a plurality of pins 200; the left end of the base island 300 is connected to the left inner wall of the avoidance hole 110 through at least one elastic connecting bridge 400, and the right end of the base island 300 is connected to the right inner wall of the avoidance hole 110 through at least one elastic connecting bridge 400. The elastic connecting bridge 400 is stepped, the frame body 100 is higher than the base island 300 and they are parallel to each other, the base island 300 is arranged corresponding to the avoidance hole 110, the cross section of the base island 300 is smaller than the cross section of the avoidance hole 110, and the base island 300 is used to carry semiconductor chips.

[0030] The frame 100 is higher than the base island 300 and is flush with the base island 300. The base island 300 is arranged corresponding to the avoidance hole 110. The cross section of the base island 300 is smaller than the cross section of the avoidance hole 110. The semiconductor chip is placed on the base island 300, and a space for accommodating the semiconductor chip is formed between the frame 100 and the base island 300. After the semiconductor chip is placed on the base island 300, the semiconductor chip is prevented from protruding too much above the frame 100.

[0031] The elastic connecting bridge 400 is elastic, and the left and right ends of the base island 300 are connected to the frame 100 through the elastic connecting bridge 400. During the sealing process, the elastic connecting bridge 400 undergoes elastic deformation to absorb the pressure of the colloid, and then resets, having a buffering effect. It can keep the base island 300 parallel to the frame 100 and keep the PAD flat, reducing the risk of glue overflow caused by lead frame deformation and the risk of decreased heat dissipation performance caused by glue overflow, avoiding affecting the fit between the packaging mold and the PAD, reducing the risk of generating chip dark lines, and ultimately improving the performance and reliability of the package.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the elastic connecting bridge 400 includes a first inclined portion 410, a transition portion 420 and a second inclined portion 430 connected in sequence, the end of the first inclined portion 410 away from the transition portion 420 is connected to the inner wall of the avoidance hole 110, and the end of the second inclined portion 430 away from the transition portion 420 is connected to the base island 300. The angles between the first inclined portion 410 and the second inclined portion 430 and the base island 300 are obtuse angles, and the transition portion 420 and the base island 300 are parallel to each other.

[0033] The first inclined portion 410, the transition portion 420 and the second inclined portion 430 form an elastic structure, so that the elastic connecting bridge 400 can undergo elastic deformation. The elastic connecting bridge 400 ensures that the frame 100 and the base island 300 are connected together, while allowing relative movement between the base island 300 and the frame 100.

[0034] It is understood that the first inclined portion 410, the transition portion 420, and the second inclined portion 430 are stair-shaped, with smooth transitions between the frame 100 and the first inclined portion 410, between the first inclined portion 410 and the transition portion 420, between the transition portion 420 and the second inclined portion 430, and between the second inclined portion 430 and the base island 300.

[0035] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, there are four elastic connection bridges 400. The left end of the base island 300 is connected to the left inner wall of the avoidance hole 110 via two elastic connection bridges 400, and the right end of the base island 300 is connected to the right inner wall of the avoidance hole 110 via two other elastic connection bridges 400. The four elastic connection bridges 400 are connected to the base island 300 in a bilaterally symmetrical manner.

[0036] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, L-shaped pins 200 are provided at the left and right ends of the front inner wall of the avoidance hole 110 and the left and right ends of the rear inner wall of the avoidance hole 110. The pins 200 include a fixed end and a connecting end connected to each other. The fixed end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the avoidance hole 110, and the connecting end is used to connect to the semiconductor chip. The end face of the connecting end on the left faces right, and the end face of the connecting end on the right faces left.

[0037] The end face of the pin 200 located in the middle of the front inner wall of the avoidance hole 110 faces rearward, and the end face of the pin 200 located in the middle of the rear inner wall of the avoidance hole 110 faces forward, so that there are pins 200 around the avoidance hole 110 to facilitate electrical connection between each port of the semiconductor chip and each pin 200.

[0038] No pins 200 are set on the left inner wall and the right inner wall of the avoidance hole 110, so that the left inner wall and the right inner wall of the avoidance hole 110 have a large enough area to set the elastic connecting bridge 400, ensuring the connection strength between the elastic connecting bridge 400 and the frame 100.

[0039] It is conceivable that the port of the semiconductor chip and the pin 200 are connected via a wire or lead, which is a copper wire, an aluminum wire, or a gold wire. The wire is connected to the port of the semiconductor chip and the pin 200 by welding.

[0040] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, a widened portion is provided at one end of the pin 200 close to the center of the avoidance hole 110, and the wire is connected to the pin 200 through the widened portion. The widened portion is used to increase the connection surface with the wire to ensure the connection strength between the wire and the pin 200.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the widened portion is square, and the width of the widened portion is greater than the width of the pin 200, which facilitates aligning the wire with the widened portion and improves the efficiency and quality of connecting the wire to the pin 200.

[0042] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the widened portion is circular, and the outer diameter of the widened portion is larger than the width of the pin 200, so as to facilitate aligning the wire with the widened portion and improve the efficiency and quality of connecting the wire with the pin 200.

[0043] The wire is connected to the pin 200 and the semiconductor chip by welding, and welding material is used. The widened portion is provided with a receiving hole for receiving the welding material. After the welding material melts, it enters the receiving hole, thereby improving the connection strength and reliability between the wire and the pin 200.

[0044] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the frame 100, the pins 200, the base island 300 and the elastic connecting bridge 400 are processed by an integrated molding method.

[0045] In some embodiments, the front, left, rear and right end surfaces of the base island 300 are provided with groove structures, which are used to increase the contact area between the packaging glue and the base island 300 and to accommodate excess packaging glue.

[0046] In some embodiments, the groove structure is wavy or semicircular.

[0047] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
