Abstract
A method of assembling QFP devices includes providing a lead frame having leads that extend from a dam bar to a die flag, and performing a first molding process that fills spaces between the leads and between the dam bar and the die flag with a first mold compound. The first mold compound also forms a ring around the die flag, where the ring extends from both lateral sides of the lead frame. A first area around the die flag is removed to separate the leads from the die flag, and a second area near an inner corner of the dam bar is removed to form a mold gate. A die is attached to the die flag and electrically connected to the leads with bond wires, and then a second molding process is performed to encapsulate the die, bond wires and inner leads.
