Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of semiconductor top heat dissipation chip packaging technology, specifically a leadless top heat dissipation product frame design structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the semiconductor field, power semiconductor devices are crucial for power and energy distribution and management. Improvements in the performance of power semiconductor devices themselves are the driving force behind the improvement of power system performance in terms of power density, power efficiency, operating frequency, reliability, and other aspects. With the miniaturization and high functionality of electronic devices, semiconductor processes are also constantly evolving towards higher integration and higher density. Various lightweight, thin, short, and small packaging structures have been developed, while the requirements for semiconductor devices are becoming increasingly stringent.
[0003] Currently, in semiconductor packaging products with high heat dissipation requirements, conventional heat dissipation structures mainly adopt bottom cooling, which conducts the heat generated by the chip away through the copper foil of the PCB board. This heat dissipation method has problems such as limited heat dissipation efficiency, larger PCB board size, and greater difficulty in heat dissipation. At the same time, existing leadframe structures often improve heat dissipation performance by increasing the area of the base island, but because the base island is encapsulated by the product's molding compound, the area of the base island is limited by the product's molding compound and cannot be further increased.
[0004] For products with high reliability and heat dissipation requirements, existing heat dissipation structures are no longer sufficient. Especially in high-power applications, the heat dissipation structures of conventional QFN products often fail to effectively dissipate heat, leading to increased chip temperature and impacting product stability and lifespan. Therefore, a new type of high-heat-dissipation packaging structure is urgently needed to solve these problems.
[0005] Regarding the issue of addressing the market demand for high-heat-dissipation products, several utility model patents have already been issued. For example: CN118412336A discloses a leadless, high-voltage, high-heat-dissipation product frame design structure and its packaging method. This patent utilizes a heat sink positioned on the front of the product, allowing heat from the chip to be dissipated from the front, thus enabling rapid heat transfer and stable product performance at the application end, meeting customer usage standards. However, the heat sink design still has room for improvement in heat dissipation efficiency.
[0006] CN210379037U discloses a leadless package structure with extended base islands on both sides for heat dissipation, featuring a high heat dissipation strip with pins. This patent fully utilizes the leadless sides of the product, extending the base islands outside the molded enclosure, significantly increasing the base island area; resulting in better heat dissipation performance, greater scalability, and wider applicability. However, the structure and size design of the base islands still require optimization to maximize their heat dissipation area and performance. Utility Model Content
