Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a semiconductor packaging frame allowing identification information to be stored in the paddle area of the individual frame. Forming identification information on the paddle allows unique tracking of the semiconductor frame package during and after manufacturing and for tracking down variances, defects, and other problems during the semiconductor packaging process. Further, the shapes formed from the identification information provide increased surface area for bonding of the molding compound and thus strengthen the bond between the die paddle and molding compound thereby improving the strength of the semiconductor package.
