A method for packaging an acoustic wave filter die, and an acoustic wave filter die packaged by the method. The method includes steps of providing an acoustic wave filter die having an active area disposed on a first surface thereof, providing a leadframe including a die flag and sealing the first surface to the die flag. The method also includes steps of molding a plastic package body about the die and the die flag and singulating the plastic body, the die and the die flag. The molding step desirably includes substeps of placing the acoustic wave filter die sealed to the leadframe in a mold, applying a thermosetting plastic material at a suitable temperature less than the glass transition temperature and at a suitable pressure to the acoustic wave filter die sealed to the leadframe in the mold and maintaining the suitable temperature for a suitable period of time.

Saw device package and method

A method for packaging an acoustic wave filter (102). The method includes a step of providing a first wafer (100). The first wafer (100) supports acoustic wave transduction and propagation. The method also includes steps of processing the wafer (100) to provide transducer patterns (18, 18') thereon and disposing a seal ring (25) on the wafer (100). The seal ring (25) completely encloses active areas allowing portions of each bond pad to extend outside of the seal ring.

Microelectronic device package and method

A lead frame package for housing an integrated circuit. A lead frame (11) having a plurality of leads (13) extending from at least three sides of the package. Lead frame (11) is formed having a first region (18), a transition region (19), and a second region (21). A distance between a heat sink (12) and the lead frame (11) may vary. The offset is chosen to compensate for a predetermined distance between the heat sink (12) and the lead frame (11) such that the lead frame (11) aligns to lead frame handling equipment. A single lead frame manufacturing setup can then be used. A slot (22) is formed in the lead frame (11) extending through the second region (21) and the transition region (19) into first area (18) providing a path for injecting an encapsulation material into a mold.
