Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of diode device processing, and specifically relates to a low-capacitance transient voltage suppression diode array product structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, modern electronic systems have increasingly higher requirements for circuit protection. Transient voltage suppressor diodes (TVS), as key components for electronic circuit protection, are experiencing significant market demand growth. However, traditional single, independent TVS diodes can no longer meet the requirements of modern electronic systems for efficient and compact protection of multi-signal lines. In multi-signal line scenarios, using multiple discrete TVS diodes is not only costly but also involves complex manufacturing processes. The significant parameter differences between the discrete devices make it difficult to achieve synchronization and symmetry between signals, hindering multi-channel bidirectional collaborative protection of the lines.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN102709333B discloses a low-capacitance glass-encapsulated silicon transient voltage suppressor diode. The low-capacitance glass-encapsulated silicon transient voltage suppressor diode includes a housing and leads extending from both ends of the housing. It also includes a transient voltage suppressor diode die, a rectifier diode die, several aluminum foil layers, and two molybdenum electrodes disposed within the housing. The transient voltage suppressor diode die and the rectifier diode die are connected in series. Several aluminum foil layers are respectively disposed on two sides of the transient voltage suppressor diode die and the rectifier diode die. The transient voltage suppressor diode die and the rectifier diode die are also respectively connected to a molybdenum electrode, and the two molybdenum electrodes are respectively connected to a lead. However, the low-capacitance glass-encapsulated silicon transient voltage suppressor diode of this invention has certain drawbacks: its glass encapsulation is not good in terms of flexibility and impact resistance, and it is easily damaged by vibration and impact in complex mechanical environments, resulting in limited reliability and service life; in addition, the single diode structure has low integration, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of modern electronic equipment for simultaneous protection of multiple signal lines and high integration, and its application scenarios are relatively limited.

Figure 1 As shown, the structure includes a lead frame body 1 and a chip assembly. The lead frame body 1 has 14 column units arranged in an array along its length direction. Each column unit contains 5 frame units 2, forming a total of 70 frame units to improve the batch production yield.

[0041] The lead frame body 1 is made of copper and has a silver layer with a thickness of 1.8μm to 5.0μm plated on its surface, forming a highly conductive and corrosion-resistant basic structure.

[0042] The lead frame body 1 has positioning holes 10 on its upper side and upper side for bonding equipment, wire bonding equipment and clamping claw insertion holes. The positioning holes 10 are used to move the lead frame body 1.

The four sets of base island components are arranged in an array along the length of the lead frame body 1, and the first small base island 3 and the second small base island 4 in each set of base island components are arranged opposite each other along the width of the lead frame body 1. The first small base island 3 and the second small base island 4 in the four sets of base island components are arranged alternately and at intervals along the length of the lead frame body 1, thereby forming an array structure with 8 small base islands.

[0044] The eight small base islands are arranged in a 2×4 matrix within frame unit 2, as detailed below:

[0045] Two rows are formed along the width direction of the lead frame body 1, each row containing 4 small base islands, namely the first small base island 3 and the second small base island 4 of the four sets of base island components; four columns are formed along the length direction of the lead frame body 1, each column containing one first small base island 3 and one second small base island 4; and along the width direction of the lead frame body 1, if the first row from left to right is the first small base island 3, the second small base island 4, the first small base island 3, and the second small base island 4, then the second row from left to right is the second small base island 4, the first small base island 3, the second small base island 4, and the first small base island 3, that is, the base island types of adjacent rows are arranged alternately.

It is a hollow structure that runs through the thickness direction of the lead frame body. In subsequent processing, the adjacent frame units can be cut and separated by the auxiliary rib cutting channel 8 through the cutting operation to form an independent single product. The injection molding runner 9 is located between adjacent column units. It is also a hollow through structure. Its function is to inject the molding compound into the adjacent frame units 2.

[0051] The anode of the rectifier diode chip 5 is connected to the anode of the low-capacitance unidirectional TVS chip 6 via a gold wire.

[0052] The arrangement of eight small base islands allows the rectifier diode chip 5, fixed on the first small base island 3, and the low-capacitance unidirectional TVS chip 6, fixed on the second small base island 4, to be connected via wire bonding. The rectifier diode chip has a reverse breakdown voltage of no less than 600V and a forward conduction current of no less than 1A, ensuring stable rectification. The TVS chip has a capacitance of no more than 45pF, a breakdown voltage of 13.3V-16.5V, and a clamping voltage of no more than 20.5V, effectively suppressing transient overvoltages.

The specific pin distribution is as follows: pins 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, and 16 are from the first small base island 3; pins 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, and 14 are from the second small base island 4. Pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 extend from one side of the molding compound 7, while pins 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 extend from the other side of the molding compound 7. The frame unit 2 is ultimately encapsulated in an epoxy molding compound 7, thereby protecting the internal chip components and pin structure and improving product stability and reliability.
