A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) which prevents a short circuit due to a crack in a bending portion is provided. The FPCB includes an end portion, a bending portion extended from the end portion, and a circuit portion extended from the bending portion. The improved FPCB includes a base film which is flexible and comprises a first via-hole formed adjacent to the end portion and the bending portion and a second via-hole formed adjacent to the bending portion and the circuit portion, a first conductive layer formed on an outer surface of at least the end portion and the bending portion, a cover layer formed on the first conductive layer, a second conductive layer which is formed on an inner surface of the end portion and is electrically connected to the first conductive layer through the first via-hole, and a third conductive layer which is formed on an inner surface of the extension circuit portion and is electrically connected to the first conductive layer through the second via-hole.

Flexible printed circuit board

Provided are a lead frame strip and a method of fabricating a semiconductor package using the same. The lead frame strip includes at least one lead frame panel in which a plurality of unit lead frames are arranged to be connected with one another in matrix forms, wherein each unit lead frame includes: a die pad to which a semiconductor chip is to be mounted; a tie bar, an end of which being connected to the die pad and processed to be downset; a plurality of leads positioned at the same level as another end of the tie bar and extended with a predetermined distance from the tie pad; a dam bar formed across the leads and united with the leads to support the leads, wherein a slot is formed along edges of the lead frame panel and functions as a buffer, and a connection bar is formed widthwise across the slot to support the lead frame panel.
