Latest Patents
Tay LiangChee's most recent patent is centered around a sproutless pre-packaged molding for component encapsulation. This invention presents a method and apparatus designed to encapsulate an integrated circuit die and leadframe assembly. The process involves placing a prepackaged sproutless mold compound insert into a rectangular receptacle within a bottom mold chase. The receptacle is connected to several die cavities via runners. Leadframe strip assemblies—which include leadframes, integrated circuit dies, and bond wires—are positioned over the bottom mold chase to ensure that the dies are aligned with the cavities. Subsequently, a top mold chase is placed over this assembly, with cavities corresponding to those in the bottom mold chase. The invention facilitates a smooth molding process using a rectangular plunger that applies varying speeds and pressures, thereby filling the cavities efficiently and avoiding issues like voids or wire sweep.
