Abstract
A method of manufacturing a leadless semiconductor chip package comprises the steps of: attaching a semiconductor die onto a die pad of a lead frame, wherein the lead frame comprises a plurality of leads arranged about the periphery of the die pad and each lead has a notch formed at the to-be-punched position thereof; wire bonding the inner ends of the leads to bonding pads on the semiconductor die; sucking a film against a lower part of a molding die; closing and clamping the molding die in a manner that the semiconductor die is positioned in a cavity of the molding die and the lead frame is disposed against the film; transferring a hardenable molding compound into the cavity; hardening the molding compound; opening the molding die to take out the molded product; and punching the molded product along the notches of the leads thereby making the singulation process more convenient and correct. The lower surface of each lead of the lead frame according to the present invention is smaller than the upper surface thereof such that each lead has a tapered profile which cooperates with the film to provide better sealing effect thereby preventing the formation of flash.
