Abstract
An interposer between the leads of a leadframe and the ends of wires connected to an integrated circuit die is described herein. The interposer may consist a polyimide tape or other insulating material with conductive traces formed thereon, each trace electrically connecting an inner bonding pad to an outer bonding pad formed on the tape. The outer bonding pads are generally arranged around the periphery of the interposer and are bonded to respective ends of the leadframe. An integrated circuit die is placed in approximately the center of the interposer surrounded by the inner bonding pads. An automatic bonder then bonds wires to the bonding pads on the die and to the inner bonding pads on the interposer. The die is now electrically connected to the leadframe via the traces on the interposer.
