Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor device manufacturing technology, and more specifically to a DFN packaged device. Background Technology
[0002] DFN (Dual Flat No-lead Package) is an advanced double-sided or square flat lead-free packaging technology. This package has pads only on the bottom and two sides, and features small size, high density, and good heat dissipation. It is widely used in semiconductor component packaging.
[0003] Currently, DFN packaged devices are manufactured using a punched pin method, exposing the metal pins on the side. However, the exposed metal pin contact points are not covered by an electroplating layer, making side soldering impossible. Furthermore, the exposed copper is prone to oxidation in the air, reducing the quality of the solder joint. When the product is soldered onto the PCB, the use of metal contact packaging instead of the previous pin-like leads makes it difficult to judge the solder joints from the product's appearance, especially the condition of the solder on the bottom. Therefore, this structure cannot perform AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) using an automatic camera system and image analysis configured for automatic solder joint defect identification. Instead, it requires perspective methods such as X-ray to judge the soldering effect, but this inspection cost is high, resulting in lower product reliability.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a DFN packaged device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a DFN packaged device to solve the problems in the background art.

[0008] To further optimize the technical solution, the matrix metal frame is provided with a number of circular positioning holes evenly distributed on its upper edge and a number of rectangular positioning holes evenly distributed on its lower edge.
[0009] To further optimize the technical solution, the chip has a first source, a second source, and a gate on the front side, and a drain on the back side, with the first and second sources arranged side by side.
[0010] The technical solution is further optimized in that the conductive material is sequentially connected to the first source electrode, the second source electrode, and the busbar. The conductive material is connected to the first source electrode to form a first bonding point, connected to the second source electrode to form a second bonding point, and connected to the busbar to form a third bonding point.
[0011] To further optimize the technical solution, the conductive material is a metal ribbon or metal wire, and the material is any one of aluminum, copper, or gold.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] A DFN packaged device, combined with Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the assembly includes a chip, a matrix metal frame, soldering materials, and molding compound. The chip has a first source, a second source, and a gate. The matrix metal frame includes circular positioning holes, rectangular positioning holes, lower metal leads, individual leads, a solder reservoir, a soldering area, lead busbars, metal sheets, and upper metal leads. Metal bonding wires and conductive materials connect the chip and the matrix metal frame.
[0020] Chip 101 can be a MOS chip. Chip 101 has a first source 102, a second source 103 and a gate 104 on the front side. The first source 102 and the second source 103 are both rectangular and are arranged side by side. The gate 104 is located at the midpoint of the right side of chip 101. The back side of chip 101 is the drain.
[0021] The array metal frame 2 includes several packaging units arranged in a matrix, with a distance between the packaging units. The middle part of the packaging unit is a welding area 206, which is used to place welding material 302, and the chip 101 is welded to the array metal frame 2 by welding material 302.
[0022] The upper part of the packaging unit has four vertically arranged upper metal pins 209, which are located above the soldering area 206, and the bottom of each upper metal pin 209 is connected to the soldering area 206. Two horizontally arranged solder reservoirs 205 are provided between the soldering area 206 and the upper metal pins 209. The length of the solder reservoirs 205 is less than the length of the soldering area 206 to prevent excessive solder material 302 from overflowing from the soldering area 206 onto the upper metal pins 209.
[0023] The lower part of the packaging unit consists of three vertically arranged lower metal pins 203 and a single pin 204 located below the soldering area 206. A busbar 207 connects the lower metal pins 203. The single pin 204 is connected to a metal sheet 208, which is covered with a silver plating layer.
[0024] The height of busbar 207 and metal plate 208 is greater than the height of solder area 206, lower metal pin 203 and individual pin 204.
[0025] The matrix metal frame 2 has several circular positioning holes 201 evenly arranged on its upper edge and several rectangular positioning holes 202 evenly arranged on its lower edge. The upper and lower edges of the matrix metal frame 2 use positioning holes of different shapes, which makes it easier to distinguish the direction of the metal frame.
[0026] Conductive material 304 connects the first source 102 and the second source 103 of chip 101 to the busbar 207 of the matrix metal frame 2 using a double wedge bonding method. Conductive material 304 connects to the first source 102 to form a first bonding point 105, and connects to the second source 103 to form a second bonding point 106. Conductive material 304 connects to the busbar 207 to form a third bonding point 107.
[0027] The conductive material 304 can be in the shape of a metal ribbon or a metal wire, and its material can be any one of aluminum, copper, or gold. The conductive material 304 is preferably aluminum ribbon because aluminum ribbon has excellent electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. The double wedge bonding connection method provides a larger contact area, resulting in lower contact resistance and better thermal conductivity; at the same time, the two solder joints more firmly lock the aluminum ribbon onto the first source 102 and the second source 103 of the chip 101, ensuring better mechanical strength.
[0028] Metal bonding wire 303 connects the gate 104 of chip 101 to the metal sheet 208 of the matrix metal frame 2. The metal bonding wire 303 can be made of conductive materials 304 such as copper wire or gold wire. Since the diameter of the metal bonding wire 303 is less than 2 mil and there is a pre-plated silver layer on the metal sheet 208, a clean, stable and chemically compatible interface can be provided for the bonding of the metal bonding wire 303, which can form a strong intermetallic compound, thereby ensuring high and consistent bond pull strength and ball shear strength.
[0029] A molding compound is applied to the matrix-type metal frame. The molding compound is preferably an epoxy resin material with insulating properties. The molding compound forms a package that encapsulates the chip 101, the conductive material 304, the metal bonding wires 303, and the chip-side of the matrix-type metal frame 2.
[0030] The exposed portions of the matrix metal frame are all plated with a tin layer, and a solderable plating layer 301 is also provided on the back of the matrix metal frame 2. The tin layer on the matrix metal frame is obtained through a rack plating process after molding. The specific process is as follows: the circular positioning hole 201 on the upper edge of the matrix metal frame 2 is clamped with a rack plating clamp, and then the molded matrix metal frame 2 is immersed in an electroplating solution, so that a solderable plating layer 301 is obtained on the back of the matrix metal frame 2.
[0031] The upper metal pin 209, the lower metal pin 203, and the individual pin 204 all extend 0.2 mm beyond the packaged device body, and the sides of the upper metal pin 209, the lower metal pin 203, and the individual pin 204 are all bare copper metal contacts 300. The bare copper metal contacts 300 are formed by punching after molding. A punching die is used to punch the matrix metal frame 2 along the edge of the molded body to obtain a single packaged device with bare copper metal contacts 300 on the side.
[0032] The surfaces of the upper metal pin 209, the lower metal pin 203, and the individual pin 204 are all covered with a solderable plating layer 301. This solderable plating layer 301 is formed through a barrel plating process. Specifically, an electroplating solution and a metal agitator are added to the electroplating barrel. The metal agitator can be conductive materials such as iron needles or steel balls, and its size is determined by the area of the bare copper metal contact point 300 on the side of the pin. The packaged devices are then placed into the electroplating barrel in batches. As the barrel rolls, the collision between the metal agitator and the packaged devices in the solution creates the solderable plating layer 301 on the bare copper metal contact point 300 on the side of the pin. When the packaged devices are soldered onto the circuit board, because the upper metal pin 209, the lower metal pin 203, and the individual pin 204 all extend beyond the packaged device body, and the bare copper metal contact point 300 has the solderable plating layer 301, the pins can achieve solder creep, thereby enhancing the soldering strength.
