An integrated circuit (IC) package includes an interconnect comprising patches of unoxidized metal that are circumscribed by a region of roughened metal formed of oxidized metal. The IC package also includes a die mounted on the interconnect. The die is conductively coupled to at least a subset of the patches of unoxidized metal.

Interconnect for IC package

An article of manufacture comprises: an integrated circuit having a contact; a conductive bump electrically coupled to the contact, the conductive bump having a profile with a wave pattern; a lead frame electrically coupled to the conductive bump; and an integrated circuit package mold, the integrated circuit package mold covering portions of the conductive bump and the lead frame.

Integrated circuits with conductive bumps having a profile with a wave pattern

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package includes attaching semiconductor dies to an array of leadframes and positioning a clip array in alignment with the array of leadframes within a mold cavity, the clip array including clips that electrically connect to at least some of the semiconductor dies and a siderail along a perimeter of the clip array. The siderail forms a set of reliefs extending from an outer edge of the siderail to an inner edge of the siderail, the inner edge being adjacent to the array of leadframes. The method also includes injecting a mold compound into the mold cavity through a flow path including the set of reliefs of the siderail to form a mold block at least partially covering the semiconductor dies.

Siderail with mold compound relief

A method of processing a leadframe strip having opposite first and second longitudinal ends and a plurality of leadframe panels positioned between the first and second longitudinal ends, each of the leadframe panels including an array of leadframe portions. The method includes saw cutting the leadframe rails and panels with a plurality of laterally extending saw cuts that each extend through the first and second rails and a panel connector portion of the leadframe strip positioned between adjacent panels of the leadframe strip. A method of reducing blade heating during leadframe strip singulation is described. Leadframe strip assemblies are also described.
