Abstract
A lead frame (20) for tape automated bonding includes individual leads (12) each having a stretch loop (40) to accommodate elongation of the loop as the lead is bonded to a substrate (28) after inner lead bonds have been formed to an integrated circuit (26). Such a lead frame allows temporary connection and testing of the circuit prior to final lead formation and packaging.
