- first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below can be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the disclosure.
- relative terms such as “lower” or “bottom” and “upper” or “top”, may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation shown in the figures. For example, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as being on the “lower” side of other elements would then be oriented on the “upper” sides of the other elements. The exemplary term “lower” can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of lower and upper, depending on the particular orientation of the figure. Similarly, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements would then be oriented “above” the other elements. The exemplary terms “below” or “beneath” can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of above and below.
- the terms “comprise” or “comprising”, “include” or “including”, “carry” or “carrying”, “has/have” or “having”, “contain” or “containing”, “involve” or “involving” and the like are to be understood to be open-ended, i.e., to mean including but not limited to.

- terms such as “about,” “approximately,” “generally,” “substantially,” and the like unless otherwise indicated mean within 20 percent, preferably within 10 percent, preferably within 5 percent, and even more preferably within 3 percent of a given value or range. Numerical quantities given herein are approximate, meaning that the term “about,” “approximately,” “generally,” or “substantially” can be inferred if not expressly stated.
- this disclosure in certain aspects, relates to a package body and a LED device using the same.
- FIG. 1 shows a semiconductor device using a lead frame package according to one embodiment of the disclosure.
- the package body has a lead frame substrate 11 that is typically coated with a lead frame 12 which is made of a metal such as silver, and a thermoplastic body 13 that is made of thermoplastic resin and formed on and around the lead frame substrate 11.
- the thermoplastic body 13 forms a reflecting cup 14, which is a cavity that has a bottom reflecting surface 13b on the surface of the lead frame 12.
- the lead frame 12 includes two separate portions which are separated by a part of the thermoplastic body 13, and each portion functions as an electrode.
- a semiconductor chip 10 is disposed on the lead frame 12 and electrically connected to the two electrodes respectively via metal wires.
- an encapsulating layer 15 is filled in the reflecting cup 14 to encapsulate the semiconductor chip 10, and the encapsulating layer 15 may be formed of a binder-filler composite, which includes a binder material and filler particles 16.
- a reflecting side surface 13a is provided between the thermoplastic body 13 and the encapsulating layer 15.
- the thermoplastic resin of the thermoplastic body 13 and the lead frame 12 are likely to be detached due to the little adhesion between the thermoplastic resin of the thermoplastic body 13 and the lead frame 12. Further, due to the low adhesion between the two different materials, the interface between the reflecting cup 14 of the thermoplastic body 13 and the bottom reflecting surface 13b may be potentially detached for a gas leakage. Moreover, as discussed above, the encapsulating layer 15 usually has low thermal dissipation property that restricts heat flow, thus reducing the thermal dissipation efficiency of the semiconductor device.
- FIG. 2A is a schematic top view of a semiconductor package structure according to one embodiment of the disclosure.
- FIG. 2B is a schematic cross-sectional view along the line A-A of the semiconductor package structure as shown in FIG. 2A.

- the insulating package 120 provides a housing structure, which forms a package cavity 140 therein, such that the optical encapsulating resin layer 150 is filled in the package cavity 140 to encapsulate the semiconductor chip 110.
- the package cavity 140 functions as a reflective cup, which may have different shapes.
- the insulating package 120 includes a lateral region 121a that forms the main support of the package body 101, and a bottom region 121b that forms between the two electrodes of the lead frame 111 to electrically insulates the two electrodes from each other.
- the package cavity 140 has a reflective side surface 140a formed by the lateral region 121a. Further, the reflective coating layer 122 is disposed at a horizontal region extended from the insulating package 120 that partially covers the top surface of the lead frame 111, and forms a reflective bottom surface 140b of the package cavity 140. In other words, the reflective coating layer 122 partially covers the two electrodes of the lead frame 111.
- the lead frame 111 may have angled cuts, with the larger cut being on the bottom side of the lead frame 111, such that the lead frame 111 (i.e., the two electrodes) can be strongly held to the insulating package 120 to avoid detaching from the insulating package 120.
- each of the two electrodes of the lead frame 111 has an angled cut, such that a bottom surface area of each electrode is smaller than a top surface area of each electrode, thus increase bonding of each electrode of the lead frame 111 to the insulating package 120.
- the lead frame 111 can have vertical cuts or angled cuts.
- the lead frame 111 may have vertical cuts.
- the package cavity 140 functions as a reflective cup, which can have different shapes.
- the package cavity 140 can be shaped as an inverted truncated cone, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B.

- the insulating package 120 and the reflective coating layer 122 are formed to provide highly optical reflecting surfaces and reliable reflecting surfaces, including the reflective side surface 140a and the reflective bottom surface 140b, thus improving the optical output and reliability of the semiconductor device 100.
- the insulating package 120 may be a resin package.
- the reflective coating layer 122 and the insulating package 120 may be made of the same material.

- the electrical-separating region of the thermoplastic body 13 which corresponds to the electrically-separating region 121b of the insulating package 120 only contacts with the lead frame 11 at small vertical sides between the two electrodes of the lead frame 11.
- the reflective coating layer 122 (i.e., the extended horizontal region of the insulating package 120) covers the lead frame 111 with a plurality of openings 123, 124 and 125 to expose the lead frame 111 for semiconductor chip attaching area and wire-bonding areas.
- the openings include a chip recess 123, a first recess 125 and a second recess 124.
- the size of the chip recess 123 is relatively small, and large enough to expose a portion of the lead frame 111 and provide a chip-attaching area, such that the semiconductor chip 110 can be attached to the lead frame 111 via the chip recess 123.
- Each of the first recess 125 and the second recess 124 is formed on one of the two electrodes of the lead frame 111 such that a portion of each electrode is exposed to provide a wire-bonding area, such that the semiconductor chip 110 can be electrically connected to the two electrodes through two wires via the first recess 125 and the second recess 124, respectively. Specifically, as shown in FIGS.
- the chip recess 123, the first recess 125 and the second recess 124 forms multiple exposed regions on the lead frame 111, and none of the exposed regions expose the electrode separating gap (where the bottom region 121b of the insulating package 120 is located) between two electrodes, so that mechanical bonding between the electrodes of the lead frame 111 and the insulating package 120 can be improved to avoid lead frame detachment and failure as well as leaking.
- the single electrode exposure of the exposed region of the chip recess 123 can enable a symmetrical shape of the exposed region 123 to prevent optical output with non-symmetrical intensity distribution that causes challenge in designing optical components in some applications such as secondary optics for backlighting in liquid crystal display.
- the shape of the chip recess 123 can be an inverted truncated cone to provide a rotational symmetrical shape around a vertical axis.
- the shape of the chip recess 123 can have a polyhedron that can be viewed as being made by cutting the reflective coating layer 122 (i.e., the extended horizontal region of the insulating package 120) by extruding a polygon vertically.
- the polyhedron can be tapped outwardly.
- the reflective coating layer 122 includes only one chip recess 123.
- the semiconductor device 100 may include multiple semiconductor chips 110.

- the reflective coating layer 122 can be a coating layer of a high light reflectivity material that covers the entire bottom and/or top surfaces of the two electrodes of the lead frame 111.
- the surface of the lead frame 111 at the opening 123 can be plated with a high reflectivity material.
- the surface of the lead frame 111 can be plated with the high reflectivity material. Examples of the high reflectivity material may include, without being limited thereto, silver, metal alloy, gold, tin, tin alloy, aluminum, or a combination thereof.
- the insulating package 120 can be made of a binder-filler composite, which includes at least one binder and at least one filler.
- the binder-filler composite coating can provide better reliability and higher reflectivity. Further, the binder-filler composite coating can also act as a passive cooling agent of the package body, so that it can prolong the lifetime of the semiconductor package.
- the binder can be thermosetting or thermoplastic binders, and can be polymer resins or inorganic binders.
- the filler can be white pigments.
- the insulating package 120 can be formed by transfer molding, compression molding, or injection molding.

Description
FIELD
The present disclosure relates generally to liquid
crystal displays, and more particularly to a package body with all diffusive
integrated reflecting surfaces (AD-IRS) for a light emitting device, and a
light emitting device using the AD-IRS package body.
BACKGROUND
The background description provided herein is for the
purpose of generally presenting the context of the present disclosure. The
subject matter discussed in the background of the disclosure section should not
be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background
of the disclosure section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background of
the disclosure section or associated with the subject matter of the background
of the disclosure section should not be assumed to have been previously
recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background of the
disclosure section merely represents different approaches, which in and of
themselves may also be disclosures. Work of the presently named inventors, to
the extent it is described in the background of the disclosure section, as well
as aspects of the description that may not otherwise qualify as prior art at
the time of filing, are neither expressly nor impliedly admitted as prior art
against the present disclosure.
A light emitting device (LED), sometimes also
referred to as a light emitting diode, is a sort of semiconductor device that
changes electricity into infrared rays or light by using the characteristics of
compound semiconductors to input/ output a signal, which may be used as a light
source. Typically, a LED package includes a package body, also referred to as a
lead frame package, and one LED chip (or multiple LED chips) electrically
connected to terminals of the package body via small metal wires such as gold
wires. For example, in a semiconductor device using a conventional lead frame
package, the a conventional package body may have a lead frame substrate that
is typically coated with a metal such as silver, which functions as a lead
frame, and a thermoplastic body that is made of thermoplastic resin and formed
on and around the lead frame substrate. The thermoplastic body may form a
reflecting cup, which has a bottom reflecting surface on the surface of the
lead frame substrate. However, the thermoplastic resin of the thermoplastic
body has little adhesion with the lead frame substrate, and the resin part of
the thermoplastic body and the lead frame substrate are likely to be detached.
Further, the interface between the reflecting cup of the thermoplastic body and
the bottom reflecting surface on the lead frame substrate shows potential for
gas leakage due to the low adhesion between these two materials, as disclosed
in U.S. Patent No. 8,530,250. Moreover, the metal coating of the lead frame is
very expensive and time consuming. The metal coating also causes long-term
reliability issues such as sulfidation on silver plating which reduces the
optical output. Conventional LED package also has an encapsulating layer that
covers the LED chip (or LED chips) and fills the cavity of the lead frame or
the chip-on-board package. The encapsulating layer usually has low thermal
dissipation property that restricts heat flow.
Generally, LED package design involves the
simultaneous integration and balancing of many different design factors
including optical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical challenges. Designing of
LED package becomes more challenging to ensure the reliability of an LED
package as the demand of power per package area increases. High power density
per unit area could lead to material failures including delamination of
integrated parts of LED package and degradation of reflectivity and optical
properties of materials.
Therefore, a heretofore unaddressed need exists in
the art to address the aforementioned deficiencies and inadequacies.

embodiments of the disclosure are shown. This disclosure may, however, be
embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the
embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that
this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope
of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to
like elements throughout.
The terms used in this specification generally have
their ordinary meanings in the art, within the context of the disclosure, and
in the specific context where each term is used. Certain terms that are used to
describe the disclosure are discussed below, or elsewhere in the specification,
to provide additional guidance to the practitioner regarding the description of
the disclosure. For convenience, certain terms may be highlighted, for example
using italics and/or quotation marks. The use of highlighting and/or capital
letters has no influence on the scope and meaning of a term; the scope and
meaning of a term are the same, in the same context, whether or not it is
highlighted and/or in capital letters. It will be appreciated that the same
thing can be said in more than one way. Consequently, alternative language and
synonyms may be used for any one or more of the terms discussed herein, nor is
any special significance to be placed upon whether or not a term is elaborated
or discussed herein. Synonyms for certain terms are provided. A recital of one
or more synonyms does not exclude the use of other synonyms. The use of
examples anywhere in this specification, including examples of any terms
discussed herein, is illustrative only and in no way limits the scope and
meaning of the disclosure or of any exemplified term. Likewise, the disclosure
is not limited to various embodiments given in this specification.
It will be understood that when an element is
referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other
element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when
an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no
intervening elements present. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any
and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
It will be understood that, although the terms first,
second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements,
components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components,
regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These
terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or
section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a
first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below can be
termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing
from the teachings of the disclosure.
It will be understood that when an element is
referred to as being “on”, “attached” to, “connected” to, “coupled” with,
“contacting”, etc., another element, it can be directly on, attached to,
connected to, coupled with or contacting the other element or intervening
elements may also be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as
being, for example, “directly on”, “directly attached” to, “directly connected”
to, “directly coupled” with or “directly contacting” another element, there are
no intervening elements present. It will also be appreciated by those of skill
in the art that references to a structure or feature that is disposed
“adjacent” to another feature may have portions that overlap or underlie the
adjacent feature.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of
describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of
the disclosure. As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are
intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly
indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises”
and/or “comprising”, or “includes” and/or “including” or “has” and/or “having”
when used in this specification specify the presence of stated features,
regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not
preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions,
integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
Furthermore, relative terms, such as “lower” or
“bottom” and “upper” or “top”, may be used herein to describe one element's
relationship to another element as illustrated in the figures. It will be
understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations
of the device in addition to the orientation shown in the figures. For example,
if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as being
on the “lower” side of other elements would then be oriented on the “upper”
sides of the other elements. The exemplary term “lower” can, therefore,
encompass both an orientation of lower and upper, depending on the particular
orientation of the figure. Similarly, if the device in one of the figures is
turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements would
then be oriented “above” the other elements. The exemplary terms “below” or
“beneath” can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of above and below.
Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including
technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly
understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure
belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in
commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is
consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the
present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly
formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
As used herein, the terms “comprise” or “comprising”,
“include” or “including”, “carry” or “carrying”, “has/have” or “having”,
“contain” or “containing”, “involve” or “involving” and the like are to be
understood to be open-ended, i.e., to mean including but not limited to.
As used herein, the phrase “at least one of A, B, and
C” should be construed to mean a logical (A or B or C), using a non-exclusive
logical OR. It should be understood that one or more steps within a method may
be executed in different order (or concurrently) without altering the
principles of the disclosure.
Typically, terms such as “about,” “approximately,”
“generally,” “substantially,” and the like unless otherwise indicated mean
within 20 percent, preferably within 10 percent, preferably within 5 percent,
and even more preferably within 3 percent of a given value or range. Numerical
quantities given herein are approximate, meaning that the term “about,”
“approximately,” “generally,” or “substantially” can be inferred if not
expressly stated.
Embodiments of the disclosure are illustrated in
detail hereinafter with reference to accompanying drawings. It should be
understood that specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to
explain the disclosure, but not intended to limit the disclosure. In accordance
with the purposes of this disclosure, as embodied and broadly described herein,
this disclosure, in certain aspects, relates to a package body and a LED device
using the same.
FIG. 1 shows a semiconductor device using a lead
frame package according to one embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in FIG.
1, the package body has a lead frame substrate 11 that is typically coated with
a lead frame 12 which is made of a metal such as silver, and a thermoplastic
body 13 that is made of thermoplastic resin and formed on and around the lead
frame substrate 11. The thermoplastic body 13 forms a reflecting cup 14, which
is a cavity that has a bottom reflecting surface 13b on the surface of the lead
frame 12. The lead frame 12 includes two separate portions which are separated
by a part of the thermoplastic body 13, and each portion functions as an
electrode. A semiconductor chip 10 is disposed on the lead frame 12 and
electrically connected to the two electrodes respectively via metal wires.
Moreover, an encapsulating layer 15 is filled in the reflecting cup 14 to
encapsulate the semiconductor chip 10, and the encapsulating layer 15 may be
formed of a binder-filler composite, which includes a binder material and
filler particles 16. A reflecting side surface 13a is provided between the
thermoplastic body 13 and the encapsulating layer 15.
However, in the package body as shown in FIG. 1, the
thermoplastic resin of the thermoplastic body 13 and the lead frame 12 are
likely to be detached due to the little adhesion between the thermoplastic
resin of the thermoplastic body 13 and the lead frame 12. Further, due to the
low adhesion between the two different materials, the interface between the
reflecting cup 14 of the thermoplastic body 13 and the bottom reflecting
surface 13b may be potentially detached for a gas leakage. Moreover, as
discussed above, the encapsulating layer 15 usually has low thermal dissipation
property that restricts heat flow, thus reducing the thermal dissipation
efficiency of the semiconductor device.
To address the aforementioned deficiencies and
inadequacies, certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to a semiconductor
device, which utilized an all diffusive integrated reflecting surfaces (AR-IRS)
package body as the package body for the semiconductor device. For example,
FIG. 2A is a schematic top view of a semiconductor package structure according
to one embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 2B is a schematic cross-sectional
view along the line A-A of the semiconductor package structure as shown in FIG.
2A. Specifically, the semiconductor package structure as shown in FIGS. 2A and
2B is a single package structure, which may be formed by dicing a semiconductor
package array. In other words, the semiconductor package structure as shown in
FIGS. 2A and 2B may be formed after a singulation or dicing process.
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the semiconductor device
100 includes an AD-IRS package body 101, a semiconductor chip 110 attached in
the package body 101, and an optical encapsulating resin layer 150. The AD-IRS
package body 101 includes a lead frame 111, an insulating package 120, and a
reflective coating layer 122. The semiconductor chip 110 can be any
semiconductor chip. For example, when the semiconductor device 100 is a light
emitting diode (LED) device, the semiconductor chip 110 can be a LED chip.
Alternatively, when the semiconductor device 100 is a laser diode (LD) device,
the semiconductor chip 110 can be a LD chip. The lead frame 111 includes two
electrodes (namely a first electrode and a second electrode) separated from
each other, for providing electrical contacts for the semiconductor chip 110
via the gold wires 170. The insulating package 120 provides a housing
structure, which forms a package cavity 140 therein, such that the optical
encapsulating resin layer 150 is filled in the package cavity 140 to
encapsulate the semiconductor chip 110. In certain embodiments, the package
cavity 140 functions as a reflective cup, which may have different shapes. In
certain embodiments, the insulating package 120 includes a lateral region 121a
that forms the main support of the package body 101, and a bottom region 121b
that forms between the two electrodes of the lead frame 111 to electrically
insulates the two electrodes from each other. The package cavity 140 has a
reflective side surface 140a formed by the lateral region 121a. Further, the
reflective coating layer 122 is disposed at a horizontal region extended from
the insulating package 120 that partially covers the top surface of the lead
frame 111, and forms a reflective bottom surface 140b of the package cavity
140. In other words, the reflective coating layer 122 partially covers the two
electrodes of the lead frame 111.
In certain embodiments, the lead frame 111 may have
angled cuts, with the larger cut being on the bottom side of the lead frame
111, such that the lead frame 111 (i.e., the two electrodes) can be strongly
held to the insulating package 120 to avoid detaching from the insulating
package 120. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, each of the two electrodes of
the lead frame 111 has an angled cut, such that a bottom surface area of each
electrode is smaller than a top surface area of each electrode, thus increase
bonding of each electrode of the lead frame 111 to the insulating package 120.
In certain embodiments, the lead frame 111 can have vertical cuts or angled
cuts.
In certain embodiments, the lead frame 111 may have
vertical cuts.
As discussed above, the package cavity 140 functions
as a reflective cup, which can have different shapes. In certain embodiments,
the package cavity 140 can be shaped as an inverted truncated cone, as shown in
FIGS. 2A and 2B. In certain embodiments, the package cavity 140 can be formed
in other shapes, such as an inverted truncated pyramid, an inverted truncated
pyramid with round corners, a parabolic shape, or other suitable shapes.
The insulating package 120 and the reflective coating
layer 122 are formed to provide highly optical reflecting surfaces and reliable
reflecting surfaces, including the reflective side surface 140a and the
reflective bottom surface 140b, thus improving the optical output and
reliability of the semiconductor device 100. In certain embodiments, the
insulating package 120 may be a resin package. In certain embodiments, the
reflective coating layer 122 and the insulating package 120 may be made of the
same material. In this case, the reflective coating layer 122 can be
essentially an extended horizontal portion of the insulating package 120, which
improves the bonding and holding of the lead frame 111 to the insulating
package 120 and strengthens the electrically-separating region 121b of the
insulating package 120 to mechanically enhance the holding of the lead frame
111 to the insulating package 120, thus improving reliability of the
semiconductor device 100. In contrast, as shown in the package body as shown in
FIG. 1, the electrical-separating region of the thermoplastic body 13 (which
corresponds to the electrically-separating region 121b of the insulating
package 120) only contacts with the lead frame 11 at small vertical sides
between the two electrodes of the lead frame 11.
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the reflective coating
layer 122 (i.e., the extended horizontal region of the insulating package 120)
covers the lead frame 111 with a plurality of openings 123, 124 and 125 to
expose the lead frame 111 for semiconductor chip attaching area and
wire-bonding areas. Specifically, the openings include a chip recess 123, a
first recess 125 and a second recess 124. The size of the chip recess 123 is
relatively small, and large enough to expose a portion of the lead frame 111
and provide a chip-attaching area, such that the semiconductor chip 110 can be
attached to the lead frame 111 via the chip recess 123. Each of the first
recess 125 and the second recess 124 is formed on one of the two electrodes of
the lead frame 111 such that a portion of each electrode is exposed to provide
a wire-bonding area, such that the semiconductor chip 110 can be electrically
connected to the two electrodes through two wires via the first recess 125 and
the second recess 124, respectively. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B,
the chip recess 123, the first recess 125 and the second recess 124 forms
multiple exposed regions on the lead frame 111, and none of the exposed regions
expose the electrode separating gap (where the bottom region 121b of the
insulating package 120 is located) between two electrodes, so that mechanical
bonding between the electrodes of the lead frame 111 and the insulating package
120 can be improved to avoid lead frame detachment and failure as well as
leaking. The single electrode exposure of the exposed region of the chip recess
123 can enable a symmetrical shape of the exposed region 123 to prevent optical
output with non-symmetrical intensity distribution that causes challenge in
designing optical components in some applications such as secondary optics for
backlighting in liquid crystal display. In certain embodiments, the shape of
the chip recess 123 can be an inverted truncated cone to provide a rotational
symmetrical shape around a vertical axis. In certain embodiments, the shape of
the chip recess 123 can have a polyhedron that can be viewed as being made by
cutting the reflective coating layer 122 (i.e., the extended horizontal region
of the insulating package 120) by extruding a polygon vertically. In certain
embodiments, the polyhedron can be tapped outwardly.
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the reflective coating
layer 122 includes only one chip recess 123. However, in certain embodiments,
the semiconductor device 100 may include multiple semiconductor chips 110. In
this case, the reflective coating layer 122 may include multiple chip recesses
123 to enable the semiconductor device 100 with multiple semiconductor chips
110.
In certain embodiments, reflective coating materials
may be used to enhance the reflectivity of the reflective side surface 140a and
the reflective bottom surface 140b of the package cavity 140. For example, in
one embodiment, the reflective coating layer 122 can be a coating layer of a
high light reflectivity material that covers the entire bottom and/or top
surfaces of the two electrodes of the lead frame 111. In one embodiments, the
surface of the lead frame 111 at the opening 123 can be plated with a high
reflectivity material. In one embodiment, the surface of the lead frame 111 can
be plated with the high reflectivity material. Examples of the high
reflectivity material may include, without being limited thereto, silver, metal
alloy, gold, tin, tin alloy, aluminum, or a combination thereof.
In certain embodiments, the insulating package 120
can be made of a binder-filler composite, which includes at least one binder
and at least one filler. In comparison to the conventional silver/metal
coating, the binder-filler composite coating can provide better reliability and
higher reflectivity. Further, the binder-filler composite coating can also act
as a passive cooling agent of the package body, so that it can prolong the
lifetime of the semiconductor package. In certain embodiments, the binder can
be thermosetting or thermoplastic binders, and can be polymer resins or
inorganic binders. In certain embodiments, the filler can be white pigments. In
certain embodiments, the insulating package 120 can be formed by transfer
molding, compression molding, or injection molding. In certain embodiments, the
binder-filler composite may also include a catalyst, an additive and/or an
solvent. In certain embodiments, the composition of resins can be, but not
limited to, polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT), polyphthalamide
(PPA), silicone resin, silicone molding resin, epoxy molding resin, acrylate
resin, urethane resin, or a copolymer system thereof. In certain embodiments,
the white pigment fillers are made of at least one pigment selected from the
group consisting of TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, BN, MgO, CaO, ZrO2, ZnO, BaO, AlN,
Sb2O3, and BaSO4. In certain embodiments, the white pigments can be amorphous,
partially crystalline, crystalline or a mixture in any ratio. In certain
embodiments, the composition of the white pigments in the binder-filler
composite is between 1 to 95 weight percent of the total composite. In other
words, the white pigments may have a weight ratio from 1 to 95 percent of the
binder-filler composite. In certain embodiments, the optical reflectivity of
the binder-filler composite may be at least 80% at a wavelength ranging from
350 to 1000 nm, and the filler (e.g., the white pigments) can have a size from
10 nm to 10 microns to achieve high light reflectivity.
In certain embodiments, the insulating package 120
and the reflective coating layer 122 can be formed in a one-step formation, in
which the reflective coating layer 122 is formed together with the
electrical-separating region 121b and the main portion 121a of the insulating
package 120. In this case, the insulating package 120 and the reflective
coating layer 122 may be made of the same material. For example, the insulating
package 120 and the reflective coating layer 122 may be made of the same
binder-filler composite. Alternatively, in certain embodiments, the reflective
coating layer 122 can be formed separately from other regions of the insulating
package 120. For example, the reflective coating layer 122 may be formed by
coating on top of the lead frame 111 before the insulating package 120 is
formed. In this case, the reflective coating layer 122 and the insulating
package 120 can be made of the same material, or can be made of different
materials. For example, the reflective coating layer 122 can be made of a
binder filler composite different from the binder-filler composite forming the
insulating package 120.
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the semiconductor chip
110 is electrically connected to the two electrodes through two wires via the
first recess 125 and the second recess 124, respectively. Alternatively, in
certain embodiments, different chip mounting structures may be adopted for the
electrical connections between the semiconductor chip 110 and the two
electrodes. For example, the semiconductor chip 110 may be mounted as a
vertical chip, where no wire is needed for electrically connected to the one of
the electrode. In this case, only two recesses (i.e., one chip-attaching area
and one wire-bonding area) may be required, and only one wire is required for
electrically connecting the semiconductor chip 110 (i.e., the vertical chip) to
the other electrode via the one wire-bonding area.
In certain embodiments, the lead frame 111 can be
formed by punching or etching a metal plate. In certain embodiments, in order
to improve productivity of the semiconductor packages, the lead frame 111 can
be made in an array. For example, FIG. 3A is a schematic top view of a lead
frame array before the semiconductor packages are made and diced according to
one embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3A, the lead frame array is
made of a metal plate 111f, which includes an array of multiple lead frames 111
(for example, a lead frame 111 is shown in FIG. 3A by a dotted rectangle). The
lead frame array includes multiple slots 111sp and 111sl thereon. The slots
111sp and 111sl are used to divide the multiple lead frames 111, and form the
electrode separating gap between the two electrodes of each lead frame 111.
Each of the slots 111sp, which is a vertically elongated slot, can separate a
column of the lead frames 111 from each package, and enable less cutting for
dicing the lead frame packages. Each of the slots 111sl, which include a
vertically elongated slot and multiple horizontal slots, can enable
electrically separation for the lead frames 111 in each column, and forms the
electrode separating gap between the two electrodes. In other words, the slots
111sp and the horizontal slots of the slots 111sl forms the package gaps
between the lead frames 111, which may enable less cutting of the lead frames
111 in the dicing or singulating process; and the vertical slot of the slots
111sl forms the electrode separating gap between the two electrodes of each
lead frame 111, so that the electrically-separating region 121b of the
insulating package 120 may be filled in the electrode separating gap to
separate the two electrodes. FIG. 3B shows a different example of the lead
frame array, where the shape of each of the slots 111sp is different.
Specifically, each the slots 111sp as shown in FIG. 3B includes multiple
vertically sectioned slots, instead of a single vertically elongated slot as
shown in FIG. 3A.
Once the lead frame array is provided, the lead frame
array may be used to prepare a semiconductor package array. FIGS. 4A-4D shows
different examples of the semiconductor package arrays according to certain
embodiments of the disclosure. Specifically, the semiconductor package array
may be made from the lead frame array as shown in either one of FIGS. 3A and
3B. Specifically, for each of the lead frame 111 on the lead frame array 111f,
the insulating package 120 and the reflective coating layer 122 are formed
thereon to form the package body 101. As shown in FIG. 4A, the insulating
packages 120 and the reflective coating layers 122 of the package bodies 101 in
the array are formed integrally, such that the insulating packages 120 of the
adjacent package bodies are continuously connected with each other. In
comparison, as shown in FIG. 4B, the resin bodies 120 of the package bodies in
the array can be connected in one direction (i.e., the vertical direction) and
separated in another orthogonal direction (i.e., the horizontal direction) by
slots 190a. In this case, the package bodies may be diced by cutting in only
one direction along the horizontal lines 180 to reduce cutting time and dirt.
FIG. 4C shows another embodiment, where the package bodies may be further
divided by additional slots 390A and 390B to reduce the volume to be cut and
thus to reduce dirt produced. FIG. 4D shows a further embodiment, which is
slightly different from the embodiment as shown in FIG. 4C in that each of the
slots 390A are sectioned slots instead of an elongated slot.
A further aspect of the present disclosure relates to
a method for forming a package body as described above. Specifically, as
discussed above, the package body may be formed in an array. FIG. 5 is a
flowchart of a method of forming the package body according to one embodiment
of the disclosure. In certain embodiments, the method as shown in FIG. 5 may be
used to form a package body according to certain embodiments of the disclosure,
such as the package body 101 as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. It should be
particularly noted that, unless otherwise stated in the present disclosure, the
steps of the method or process may be arranged in a different sequential order,
and are thus not limited to the sequential order as shown in FIG. 5. Further,
the method may include additional steps not shown in the flowchart of FIG.
5.
As shown in FIG. 5, at procedure 510, a lead frame
array is provided. Specifically, the lead frame array may be made of a metal
sheet. At procedure 520, the lead frame array (i.e., the metal sheet) may be
punched or etched to form a plurality of electrode separating gaps and a
plurality of package gaps thereon. Specifically, an example of the lead frame
array is shown in either FIG. 3A or FIG. 3B, where the slots 111sp and the
horizontal slots of the slots 111sl forms the package gaps between the lead
frames 111, which may enable less cutting of the lead frames 111 in the dicing
or singulating process; and the vertical slot of the slots 111sl forms the
electrode separating gap between the two electrodes of each lead frame 111.
Optionally, at procedure 530, a coating may be formed on the lead frame array
to cover at least the exposed areas (i.e., the openings) of the lead frame. In
certain embodiments, the coating may be formed to cover the entire surfaces of
the lead frame. At procedure 540, the insulating package and the reflective
coating layer are formed on the lead frame array by transfer molding,
compressing molding or injection molding to form a semiconductor package array.
Specifically, an example of the semiconductor package array is shown in either
one of FIGS. 4A-4D. In certain embodiments, additional steps may be performed
on the semiconductor package array to make semiconductor packages. The
additional steps may include, without being limited thereto, die attaching,
wire bonding, and encapsulation, Once the semiconductor package array is ready
for cutting, at procedure 550, the package body can be diced or singulated from
the package array along the package gaps. In this case, the package body may
include a part of one of the electrode separating gaps, which separates the
first electrode and the second electrode of the lead frame of package body.
In the embodiments as described above, the lead frame
package is used as the example of the package body of the semiconductor
package. However, similar to the lead frame package, the disclosure can also be
used in a chip-on-board (COB) package to replace silver coating and to improve
the reliability as well the performance of a COB package. FIG. 6 is a schematic
cross-sectional view of a COB package structure according to one embodiment of
the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the COB package 200 has a similar structure
to that of the package body 101 of the semiconductor package 100. Specifically,
the COB package 200 includes a package body 201, which functions as a COB
housing/body, a semiconductor chip 210 attached in the package body 201, and an
optical encapsulating resin layer 250 encapsulating and protecting the
semiconductor chip 210. The package body 201 is formed on a substrate 230.
Similar to the package body of the semiconductor package 100 as shown in FIGS.
2A and 2B, the package body 201 includes a metal lead 211, an insulating
package 220, and a reflective coating layer 222. The semiconductor chip 210 can
be any semiconductor chip. The metal lead 211 is bonded on top of the substrate
230 and electrically insulated from the substrate 230. The metal lead 211
includes two electrodes (namely a first electrode and a second electrode)
separated and insulated from each other, for providing electrical contacts for
the semiconductor chip 210 via the gold wires. The insulating package 220 can
be formed on top of the substrate 230 and have a package cavity 240 where the
encapsulating material 250 of the COB package 200 is filled. The reflective
coating layer 222 is formed on the metal lead 211, and has openings 223, 224,
and 225 for semiconductor chip bonding area and wire bonding areas.
Specifically, the openings include a chip recess 223, a first recess 225 and a
second recess 224. In certain embodiments, the insulating package 220 can be
mechanically bond to the substrate 230 through plurality of holes where the
resin regions 221b are formed in to prevent detaching of the insulating package
220 from the substrate 230. In certain embodiments, when the COB package 200
includes multiple semiconductor chips 210, the reflective coating layer 222 can
have multiple chip recesses 223 to enable the COB semiconductor package 200
with the multiple semiconductor chips 210.
In certain embodiments, the insulating package 220
and the reflective coating layer 222 can be formed in a one-step formation, in
which the reflective coating layer 222 is formed together with the
electrical-separating region between the two electrodes of the metal lead 211
and the main portion 221a of the insulating package 220. In this case, the
insulating package 220 and the reflective coating layer 222 may be made of the
same material. For example, the insulating package 220 and the reflective
coating layer 222 may be made of the same binder-filler composite.
Alternatively, in certain embodiments, the reflective coating layer 222 can be
formed separately from other regions of the insulating package 220. For
example, the reflective coating layer 222 may be formed by coating on top of
the metal lead 211 before the insulating package 220 is formed. In this case,
the reflective coating layer 222 and the insulating package 220 can be made of
the same material, or can be made of different materials. For example, the
reflective coating layer 222 can be made of a binder filler composite different
from the binder-filler composite forming the insulating package 220.
In certain embodiments, the disclosure can also be
applied to other lighting structures or applications, such that the metal
coating in the lighting structure can be replaced by the binder-filler
composite coating. For example, a lamp using diffuse reflectors to reflect
light may utilize the binder-filler composite coating structure. Other
applications may include, without being limited thereto, remote phosphor
applications where the light output of the device greatly depends on the
reflectivity of the reflectors.
In certain embodiments, the package body according to
certain embodiments of the disclosure may be used in an encapsulant-free
semiconductor package, which does not require the encapsulating resin layer to
be filled in the package cavity of the package body. For example, FIGS. 7A-7F
show multiple encapsulant-free semiconductor package structures according to
certain embodiments of the disclosure.
As shown in FIG. 7A, the encapsulant-free
semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip 310, which is bonded to a
pair of electrodes 311a and 311b of a lead frame. Further, an insulating
package is formed to include multiple regions 321a and 321b. Specifically, the
lateral region 321 forms the main support of the package body, and the bottom
region 321b forms between the two electrodes 311a and 311b of the lead frame to
electrically insulates the two electrodes 311a and 311b from each other. The
semiconductor chip 310 is located directly above the bottom region 321b of the
insulating package. It should be noted that there is no encapsulating resin
layer as shown in FIG. 7A, leaving the semiconductor chip 310 unprotected.
FIG. 7B shows an encapsulant-free semiconductor
package which is very similar to that as shown in FIG. 7A, with the only
difference being that the semiconductor chip 310 as shown in FIG. 7B is
protected with a thin encapsulating layer 330. The thin encapsulating layer 330
is a thin layer, which does not fill the package cavity. The thin layer can be
made of an optical transparent material such as silicones or polymers. In
certain embodiments, the thin layer can contain white pigments that are made of
at least one selected from the group consisting of TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, BN, MgO,
CaO, ZrO2, ZnO, BaO, AlN, Sb2O3, and BaSO4. In certain embodiments, the thin
layer can contain wavelength conversion materials such as phosphor materials
and/or quantum dot materials.
As shown in FIG. 7C, the encapsulant-free
semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip 410, which is bonded to a
pair of electrodes 411a and 411b of a lead frame. Further, an insulating
package is formed to include multiple regions 421a and 421b. Specifically, the
lateral region 421 forms the main support of the package body, and the bottom
region 421b forms between the two electrodes 411a and 411b of the lead frame to
electrically insulates the two electrodes 411a and 411b from each other. The
semiconductor chip 410 is located directly above the bottom region 421b of the
insulating package. Moreover, a reflective coating layer 440 is formed on the
electrodes 411a and 411b of the lead frame It should be noted that there is no
encapsulating resin layer as shown in FIG. 7C, leaving the semiconductor chip
410 unprotected.
FIG. 7D shows an encapsulant-free semiconductor
package which is very similar to that as shown in FIG. 7C, with the only
difference being that the semiconductor chip 410 as shown in FIG. 7D is
protected with a thin encapsulating layer 430. The thin encapsulating layer 430
is a thin layer, which does not fill the package cavity. The thin layer can be
similar to the thin encapsulating layer 330 as shown in FIG. 7B.
As shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D, the semiconductor chip
410 is attached to the electrodes 411a and 411b via a single recess. In certain
embodiments, the encapsulant-free semiconductor package may include multiple
recesses, such that multiple semiconductor chips may be provided and
respectively attached to the electrodes via the multiple recesses.
FIG. 7E shows an encapsulant-free semiconductor
package using a COB package structure. As shown in FIG. 7E, the
encapsulant-free semiconductor package includes a semiconductor flip-chip 510,
which is bonded to a pair of electrodes 511a and 511b of a lead frame. The lead
frame (i.e., the electrodes 511a and 511b) is formed on a substrate 560.
Further, the semiconductor flip-chip 510 is protected with a thin encapsulating
layer 530. The thin encapsulating layer 530 is a thin layer, which can be
similar to the thin encapsulating layer 330 as shown in FIG. 7B. In certain
embodiments, the semiconductor flip-chip 510 can be a LED flip-chip or a LD
flip-chip, which is configured to emit a blue light, a green light, a red light
or a white light.
FIG. 7F shows an encapsulant-free semiconductor
package, which has a lead frame package structure that is similar to the
structure as shown in FIG. 2B. Specifically, the semiconductor chip 110 as
shown in FIG. 7F is a wire-bonding chip, which is the same as that as shown in
FIG. 2B. The structure as shown in FIG. 7F is different from the structure as
shown in FIG. 2B in that a thin encapsulating layer 630 is provided to replaces
for the encapsulant resin layer 150 as shown in FIG. 2B. In other words, the
encapsulant resin layer 150 and the fillers 160 of the package 100 as shown in
FIG. 2B are removed and replaced by the thin encapsulating layer 630 to form
the encapsulant-free semiconductor package as shown in FIG. 7F. The thin
encapsulating layer 630 is a thin layer, which does not fill the package
cavity, and can be similar to the thin encapsulating layer 330 as shown in FIG.
7B. In certain embodiments, the structure as shown in FIG. 7F may be used as a
semiconductor emitter.
In certain embodiments, by removing the encapsulant
resin layer 150 that is filled within the package cavity as shown in FIG. 2B,
thermal dissipation of a semiconductor package could be improved. Junction
temperature and light output of an encapsulant-free semiconductor package are
found to be improved (lower junction temperature and higher light output)
compared to an encapsulated semiconductor package. Moreover, the
encapsulant-free semiconductor package also reduces processing steps and thus
enables low cost.
In certain embodiments, the thin encapsulating
layers 330, 430, 530 and 630 may be made of a light conversion material to
partially convert the light emitted by the semiconductor flip-chip to a
different color. Using the COB structure as shown in FIG. 7E as an example, the
semiconductor flip-chip 510 may emit light in a first color, and the thin
encapsulating layer 530 may convert the light to a different second color.
For mass production, the lead frame package for the
encapsulant-free semiconductor package can be made in an array, such as the
array as shown in FIG. 3A or FIG. 3B. Mass production schemes as shown in FIGS.
4A-4D can be used for any one of the encapsulant-free semiconductor packages as
shown in FIGS. 7A-7F. FIG. 8 is an example of the lead frame package array of
mass production for encapsulant-free semiconductor package shown in FIGS. 7C-D.
For example, FIG. 8 is a schematic view of a semiconductor package array for
the encapsulant-free semiconductor packages according to one embodiment of the
disclosure. Specifically, the semiconductor package array as shown in FIG. 8 is
similar to the semiconductor package array as shown in FIG. 4D, with the
difference being that the semiconductor packages as shown in FIG. 8 are
encapsulant-free semiconductor packages.
In certain embodiments, the semiconductor chip as
used in certain embodiments of the disclosure can be any of semiconductor chips
that emit or receive light, such as light emitting diodes, laser diodes,
vertical-cavity-surface-emitting lasers, optical sensors/detectors, or other
suitable chips.
