[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] The present embodiment provides a lead frame for chip packaging, as shown in Figs. 1-3As shown, the lead frame comprises a base 1, a placement groove 3 arranged on the base 1 for placing a chip, a cover plate 2 arranged on the base 1 at a position corresponding to above the placement groove 3, a clamping groove 4 arranged on the base 1 and located around the placement groove 3 and arranged in a linear array, a pin 5 clamped in the clamping groove 4, a bonding part 6 arranged on the pin 5 away from the clamping groove 4 for changing the contact area of gold wire welding, and a buffer connecting piece 7 arranged on the pin 5 at a position corresponding to below the bonding part 6 and on the base 1 for welding buffering of the pin 5.

[0030] In use, first, the chip is placed in the placement groove 3 of the base 1, and the placement groove 3 provides accurate positioning and stable support for the chip. Then, the pin 5 is clamped in the clamping groove 4 arranged in a linear array around the placement groove 3, so that the pin 5 is arranged in order around the chip, which prepares for the connection between the chip and the external circuit. Subsequently, when welding, the design of the bonding part 6 enables manual operation or automatic equipment to accurately place the gold wire at the predetermined position according to the positioning of the bonding part 6, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of each welding position, while also increasing the welding contact area with the gold wire, reducing the risk of weld point falling off due to excessive local stress. In addition, during the welding process, when the pin 5 is subjected to high temperature and material thermal expansion stress or mechanical external force, the buffer connecting piece 7 will elastically deform to absorb and buffer the stress, reducing the deformation of the pin 5 caused by stress concentration and reducing the risk of weld cracking. After the gold wire and the pin 5 are welded, the cover plate 2 is covered, and the cover plate 2, the base 1, the pin 5 and other components together form a relatively closed and stable packaging environment.

[0031] Specifically, the bonding part 6 comprises a positioning hole 61 opened at the end of the pin 5 away from the clamping groove 4 for gold wire connection, and a plurality of protrusions 62 arranged in the positioning hole 61.

[0032] The design of the positioning hole 61 provides a clear connection position for the gold wire during the gold wire welding process. During welding, the operator or automatic equipment can accurately place the gold wire at the predetermined position according to the positioning hole 61, which greatly improves the accuracy and consistency of welding and reduces the problem of poor connection caused by welding position deviation. In addition, the design of the plurality of protrusions 62 can increase the welding contact area of the gold wire with the pin 5. Compared with the traditional planar welding method with limited contact area, the protrusions 62 provide more contact points, making the combination between the gold wire and the pin 5 more compact, further improving the stability and reliability of electrical connection.

[0033] In order to ensure the contact area of the protrusion 62 and the gold wire, the protrusion 62 is hemispherical or conical; the design of the hemispherical or conical protrusion 62 can provide more contact points when the gold wire contacts the pin 5, further increasing the welding contact area of the gold wire and the pin 5, making the combination between the gold wire and the pin 5 more compact during welding, dispersing the stress borne by the welding point, and effectively reducing the risk of welding point falling off caused by excessive local stress.

[0034] Further, the buffer connecting piece 7 includes a positioning column 71 arranged at a position below the positioning hole 61 of the pin 5, a positioning insertion hole 72 opened on the base 1 for inserting the positioning column 71, and an elastic piece 73 sleeved on the positioning column 71 and fixedly connected with the positioning column 71 and the pin 5 at both ends;

[0035] When the pin 5 is subjected to high temperature to cause material thermal expansion stress or mechanical external force, the elastic piece 73 will elastically deform, and the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 73 can absorb and buffer these stresses, so that the stress borne by the pin 5 is dispersed and relieved, thereby reducing the deformation of the pin 5 caused by stress concentration and the risk of welding point cracking.

[0036] In addition, in order to ensure buffering, the elastic piece 73 is a spiral spring or a wave spring; the spiral spring and the wave spring have good elastic properties, and when the pin 5 is subjected to thermal expansion or mechanical stress, the spiral spring and the wave spring can effectively absorb and buffer these stresses, reduce the deformation of the pin 5 caused by stress concentration, and reduce the risk of welding point cracking.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] Different from embodiment 1, in order to further ensure the welding effect, the inner wall of the positioning hole 61 is coated with a molten material for covering the connection between the gold wire and the positioning hole 61; during welding, heat melts the molten material, and then the molten material flows and fills the small gap between the gold wire and the positioning hole 61; when the welding is completed and solidified, the molten material tightly covers the connection to form a stable bonding layer, reduces the entry of air and impurities, avoids oxidation and corrosion, reduces the risk of welding point falling off, ensures the stability of electrical connection, and in addition, the molten material can be a solder alloy or a low-melting-point alloy.

[0039] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
