Abstract
A microelectronic component carrier package (100) and method of its manufacture. A nonconducting component carrier having vertical risers (110) and guide channels (108) permits the rapid and accurate routing of microelectronic component leads with respect to a leadframe (104). Specially shaped perforations (116) in the leadframe (104) adjacent to and aligned with the guide channels (108) receive the leads, strip away the necessary amount of insulation, and sever the leads (124) to the proper length in one manufacturing process step. The leads are joined to the leadframe (104) by an interference fit, convention bonding technique (such as solder or thermal compression bonding), or other technique. The perforations (116) further provide for stress relief of the leads in the assembled package, and permit the joints between the leadframe (104) and leads to reside outside of the package, thereby minimizing the overall volume of the package. The perforations (116) may also be used as masks for laser energy used to strip insulation from the leads in the vicinity of the perforations (116).
Description
MICROELECTRONIC COMPONENT CARRIER
AND METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURE
Background of t_he Invention The invention relates generally to miniature non-semiconductor electrical and electronic elements used in printed circuit board applications and particularly to an improved microelectronic component Garner package and method of manufacturing the same.
Dual in-line chip carrier packages (DIPs) are well known in the field of electronics. A common example of a DIP is an integrated circuit, which is typically bonded to a ceramic carrier and electrically connected to a lead frame providing opposed rows of parallel electrical leads. An example of an electronic circuit configured in a DIP
is a toroid. A toroid is a doughnut shaped piece of magnetic material, together with one or more coils of current carrying wire, typically between AWG 24 to AWG 50, which are wrapped about the doughnut so that the magnetic flux is almost completely confined within it.
The DIPs are traditionally grouped together on a printed circuit board. The DIPS
may be integrated with the printed circuit board by inserting the leads of the DIP into holes on the printed circuit board. Alternatively, the DIPS may be surface mounted, having their leads attached to the surface of the printed circuit board with solder. The integrated circuit and ceramic carrier are normally encased in a rectangular plastic or ceramic housing from which the Leads extend. Plastic chip carriers are more widely used in commercial and industrial applications where the environment is less sever and where cost is a factor.
The continuing miniaturization of electrical and electronic elements and high density mounting thereof have created increasing challenges relating to fabrication and reliability. Accordingly, there is a need to be able to fabricate increasingly small and reliable microelectronic packages which contain the miniaturized electrical and electronic elements, and to do so at a minimum cost.
Due largely to their design and construction, prior art methods of manufacturing microelectronic component packages require a lengthy series of process steps including drawing and aligning the fine leads associated with the components into proper position, cutting them to the desired length, placing the lead ends in contact with the leadframe, heat stripping and terminating the leads within the package to form a permanent junction, and encapsulating the leads and carrier. This series of steps necessarily requires substantial hand-labor and processing time, thereby adding significantly to the cost of producing each device.
Figure 1 shows a typical prior art component package formed by the aforementioned process. The disadvantages of the component package shown in Figure I
is that it occupies an appreciable volume within the package, thereby necessitating a larger 1 S overall package. Additionally, the lack of electrical separation between individual leads in this system may increase the probability of electrical faults between leads as well. Since the individual leads are hand-cut and hand-positioned prior to mating the subassembly to the leadframe, sometimes the leads are mis-cut or mis-positioned allowing the leads to touch each other, causing a short circuit or not touch the leadframe causing an open circuit. Manufacturers are in need of an assembly system and a method to insure that the leads are cut to a consistent length and that the leads remain electrically isolated after they are connected to a leadframe.
Currently, there are few tools available to assist the manufacturer in cutting the leads frames to a consistent length. Manufacturers need a tool specifically designed for this purpose. In addition, it would be preferable if the tool could facilitate the joining of the leads to the leadframe as part of the cutting process. The tool should also be able to handle the mass production of component carriers so that the leads of more than one component Garner can be cut at a time.

Summary of the Invention The invention satisfies the aforementioned needs by providing an improved microelectronic component earner and method of its manufacture.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides an improved microelectronic component carrier which utilizes one or more specially constructed guide channels to locate and position the component leads in relation to specially constructed perforations in the carrier leadfiame. These perforations are sized and shaped to receive each lead while stripping away the insulation on the lead in the region of the leadframe, thereby eliminating one or more manufacturing process steps. The guide channels also act to electrically isolate the leads, thereby minimizing the potential for electrical fault.
In a first embodiment, each lead is automatically positioned with respect to its respective receiving perforation by way of a specially shaped guide channel in the component carrier, forced into the perforation by way of a special processing tool, and maintained therein by way of a frictional interference fit. The perforations in the leadframe (along with the inserted lead ends) are maintained outside of the package and aligned with the guide channels in order to conserve space. Additionally, the carrier package bottom may be left open for later access to the carrier internal components. In another embodiment, each of the leads is maintained in electrical contact with the surrounding leadfiame by way of a eutectic solder or similar bonding process.
A third embodiment uses thermal compression bonding to connect each insulated lead to the leadframe.
In a second aspect, the present invention provides an improved method of manufacturing a microelectronic component carrier package wherein the number of processing steps is reduced. Specifically, the microelectronic component is secured within the carrier recess, and the leads routed through their respective channels.
The uncut and insulated leads are then inserted into their respective leadframe perforations using a specially designed tool. The size and shape of the perforations result in the insulation being stripped from each lead, and each lead conductor being cut to the appropriate length during insertion. In one embodiment, an interference fit is formed between the stripped end of the lead and the surrounding edges of the perforation during insertion, thereby capturing the lead in fixed relationship to the leadframe. The leadframe members are then formed to the desired shape and the package is completed. In a second embodiment, the stripped lead may be joined to the leadframe using solder or other bonding process.
Alternatively, the insulation may be laser-stripped from the leads and subsequently bonded to the leadfi~ame.

The following detailed description presents a description of certain specific embodiments of the present invention. However, the invention can be embodied in a multitude of different ways as defined by the claims. In this description, reference is made to the drawings wherein like parts are designated with like numerals throughout.
Referring to Figure 2, it is seen that a component carrier 100 is centrally located on a leadframe 104. The leadframe 104 is constructed of an electrically conductive material, and is fiu~ther equipped with lead alignment slots 105 that extend inwardly from the periphery of the leadframe 104 and extend toward and in axial alignment with the lead elements 102. In one embodiment of the invention, the component carrier 100 is formed of a moldable non-conductive polymer such as polyethylene or fluorpolymer, for example, thereby providing ease of manufacturing and electrical insulation for the microelectronic component located on a base in a carrier recess 106. A plurality of electrical lead guide channels 108 are formed about the periphery of the carrier recess 106 by vertical risers 110 and a horizontal base section 112 of the component carrier 100. In this first embodiment of the invention, the vertical risers 110 are located adjacent to the leadframe lead elements 102 and are semicircular in cross-section, although other cross-sectional shapes, which present a smooth inner surface 111 for the component electrical leads to be routed over, may be used with equal success (shown in Figures 6 and 7). The lateral vertical risers 110 are also progressively tapered upward from the carrier base section 112 so as to form tapered guide channels 108 between the vertical risers 110. In this fashion, component leads inserted into the guide channels 108 are aligned with their respective lead elements 102 when the lead is drawn to the bottom of the guide channel (e.g., when it is brought in contact with the base section 112).
Figure 3 is a detailed perspective view of the vertical risers 110 of the component carrier 100 of Figure 2. From this figure it will be appreciated that substantial physical separation of the individual leads is also maintained by the invention, thereby reducing the potential for shorting between leads which may result from damage or stripping of the lead insulation during processing.
Referring now to Figures 2 and 4, a plurality of perforations 116 are located on the lead frame lead elements 102 and in proximity to the outer edge of the guide channels 108.
Furthermore, the perforations 116 are both laterally and vertically aligned with the bottom of their respective guide channels 108 formed by the base section 112 and the two adjacent vertical risers 110. Accordingly, a lead placed in a given guide channel 108 and the alignment slot 105 is routed directly over its associated perforation without the need for fizrther alignment.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 illustrate some of the various shapes and forms of the perforations I 16 and the vertical risers 110 that may be utilized. Figure 5 illustrates that in this first embodiment, the perforations 116 are shaped as keyholes and the vertical risers 110 are semi-cylindrical in cross-section. Figure 6 illustrates a second embodiment of the microelectronic component carrier having differently shaped perforations 116 and vertical 1 S risers 110. In this embodiment, the perforations 116 are shaped as ovals, and the vertical risers 110 are shaped cross-sectionally as pentagons. In a third embodiment illustrated in Figure 7, the perforations 116 are shaped as rectangles and the vertical risers 110 are shaped cross-sectionally as ellipsoids.
Referring again to Figure 4, the perforations 116 define a "keyhole" shaped cross-sections, each with a circular region 118 oriented closest to its associated guide channel 108. The slotted regions 120 of each perforation 116 are longitudinally aligned with the guide channels 108. The slotted regions 120 can thus partially feceive the insulated leads during assembly. After receiving the insulated leads, a specially constructed processing tool is used to downwardly bias the leads simultaneously against the lead elements 102.
When downward force is exerted on the portion of the leads over the slotted regions 120, the lead insulation in those regions are stripped away, the stripped portion of the leads are inserted deeper into the slotted regions 120 and the leads are then severed to the appropriate length by the distal edge of the slotted regions 120. It should be noted that in one embodiment of the perforations I 16, the diameter of the slotted regions 120 of each of the perforations 1 I6 are sized to form an interference fit with the leads inserted therein;
however, bonding and electrical contact between the leads and leadframe element 102 may be accomplished by a variety of other techniques such as eutectic soldering, adhesives, or thermal compression bonding.
The circular regions 118 of each of the perforations 116 shown in Figure 4 act as a stress relief for the lead between the edge of the guide channels I08 and the interference fit (or bonded joint, as discussed below) in the slotted regions 120. A small "loop" of lead is ultimately formed in the circular regions I 18 of each of the perforations 116 when the leadframe element 102 is deformed upward during final component assembly processing.
In this manner, thermal or physical stresses on the lead are mitigated, thereby increasing the lead's longevity and overall component reliability.
Figure 8 depicts one embodiment of a laser source for stripping the insulation of the component leads. The perforations 1 I6 are used as a template or mask for laser energy that is used to strip the insulation from the positioned lead. Such a technique is useful when utilizing leads whose insulation is not heat-strippable. Specifically, a beam of laser energy 150 from a laser source I52 incident on the underside of the leadframe element 102 acts to strip insulation from the leads I24 in the region of the perforations 116 only.
Controlled stripping of the leads 124 only near the electrical junction to the leadframe 104 helps prevent shorting of the leads in other areas. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable from a cost or processing standpoint to laser-strip the insulation from the bottom of the leads 124 in the region of the perforations 116 prior to joint formation, as opposed to having the edges of the perforations 116 strip the insulation as was previously described.
Method of Manufacturing Figures 9a through 9i depict the component cannier in various states of manufacture. First, portions of the leadfiame 104 are bent upward to receive the component carrier I00 (Figures 9a and 9b). The component carrier 100 is then molded onto the leadframe 104 to foam a single unit (Figure 9c). Next, at least one microelectronic component 122, such as a toroid is inserted into the Garner 100 (Figure 9d). Optionally, the microelectronic component may be bonded the component to the carrier 100. The component leads 124 of the component are routed through their respective guide channels 108, alignment slots 105, and over the perforations I 16. Next, a special processing tool presses a plurality of component leads 124 simultaneously into their respective perforations 116, thereby severing the leads 124 to the desired length (Figure 9e). The leadframe dambars 126 and outer frame 128 are removed (Figure 9fj, and the leads 124 are optionally bonded to the lead elements 102. The lead elements 102 are then deformed upward so as to roughly conform with the sides of the component carrier 100 (Figures 9g and 9h). Finally, if a mufti-package leadframe 104 was selected, each of the dies in the package are separated (Figure 9i).
It should be noted that as a result of implementing this process, no encapsulation of the Garner 100 or leadframe 104 is required, thereby further reducing the processing necessary to manufacture the device and providing accessibility to the microelectronic component 122. Furthermore, many of the steps in the disclosed process may be performed simultaneously or even in different sequence than that set forth above, while still accomplishing the desired results of reduced package size and reduced processing.
Figure 10 depicts one embodiment of a processing tool 130 used for simultaneously inserting the component leads 124 into the leadframe perforations 116.
The microelectronic component leads 124 are inserted into their respective perforations 116 and severed after lead routing through the use of the processing tool 130.
The processing tool 130 has a base section 132 and a top section 134 which cooperate during processing to insert and sever the leads 124. The base sectiorf'132 has a recess 136 into which one or more component carriers 100 fit, the recess being sized to mitigate lateral motion of the component carriers) 100 within the recess. The top section 134 also has a recess 137 into which the top portion of the component carrier 100 fits when the base section 132 and top section 130 sections are joined. A series of downward protruding elements 138 on the top section 134 of the tool are sized and aligned so as to fit over the perforations 116 in the lead elements 102 when the component carrier 100 is cradled in the recesses 136, 137 and the base and top sections 132, 134 are joined. In this manner, the component carrier 100 v~ith pre-routed leads 124 is inserted into the base section recess _g_ 7 PCTlUS98/20262 -136, and then the top section 134 is aligned with and pressed down over the carrier 100.
As previously discussed, the downward pressure of the protruding elements 138 on the leads 124 (i) strips the insulation from the leads 124, (ii) severs the leads 124 to the desired length, and (iii) inserts the severed leads 124 into the perforations 116. One embodiment of the processing tool 130 can be used to process four component carriers 100 simultaneously (up to thirty-six separate leads), although it can be appreciated that other configurations are possible.
While the above detailed description has shown, described, and pointed out the fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to various embodiments, it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions, and changes in the form and details of the device or process illustrated may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
The following detailed description presents a description of certain specific embodiments of the present invention. However, the invention can be embodied in a multitude of different ways as defined by the claims. In this description, reference is made to the drawings wherein like parts are designated with like numerals throughout.
Referring to Figure 2, it is seen that a component carrier 100 is centrally located on a leadframe 104. The leadframe 104 is constructed of an electrically conductive material, and is fiu~ther equipped with lead alignment slots 105 that extend inwardly from the periphery of the leadframe 104 and extend toward and in axial alignment with the lead elements 102. In one embodiment of the invention, the component carrier 100 is formed of a moldable non-conductive polymer such as polyethylene or fluorpolymer, for example, thereby providing ease of manufacturing and electrical insulation for the microelectronic component located on a base in a carrier recess 106. A plurality of electrical lead guide channels 108 are formed about the periphery of the carrier recess 106 by vertical risers 110 and a horizontal base section 112 of the component carrier 100. In this first embodiment of the invention, the vertical risers 110 are located adjacent to the leadframe lead elements 102 and are semicircular in cross-section, although other cross-sectional shapes, which present a smooth inner surface 111 for the component electrical leads to be routed over, may be used with equal success (shown in Figures 6 and 7). The lateral vertical risers 110 are also progressively tapered upward from the carrier base section 112 so as to form tapered guide channels 108 between the vertical risers 110. In this fashion, component leads inserted into the guide channels 108 are aligned with their respective lead elements 102 when the lead is drawn to the bottom of the guide channel (e.g., when it is brought in contact with the base section 112).
Figure 3 is a detailed perspective view of the vertical risers 110 of the component carrier 100 of Figure 2. From this figure it will be appreciated that substantial physical separation of the individual leads is also maintained by the invention, thereby reducing the potential for shorting between leads which may result from damage or stripping of the lead insulation during processing.
Referring now to Figures 2 and 4, a plurality of perforations 116 are located on the lead frame lead elements 102 and in proximity to the outer edge of the guide channels 108.
Furthermore, the perforations 116 are both laterally and vertically aligned with the bottom of their respective guide channels 108 formed by the base section 112 and the two adjacent vertical risers 110. Accordingly, a lead placed in a given guide channel 108 and the alignment slot 105 is routed directly over its associated perforation without the need for fizrther alignment.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 illustrate some of the various shapes and forms of the perforations I 16 and the vertical risers 110 that may be utilized. Figure 5 illustrates that in this first embodiment, the perforations 116 are shaped as keyholes and the vertical risers 110 are semi-cylindrical in cross-section. Figure 6 illustrates a second embodiment of the microelectronic component carrier having differently shaped perforations 116 and vertical 1 S risers 110. In this embodiment, the perforations 116 are shaped as ovals, and the vertical risers 110 are shaped cross-sectionally as pentagons. In a third embodiment illustrated in Figure 7, the perforations 116 are shaped as rectangles and the vertical risers 110 are shaped cross-sectionally as ellipsoids.
Referring again to Figure 4, the perforations 116 define a "keyhole" shaped cross-sections, each with a circular region 118 oriented closest to its associated guide channel 108. The slotted regions 120 of each perforation 116 are longitudinally aligned with the guide channels 108. The slotted regions 120 can thus partially feceive the insulated leads during assembly. After receiving the insulated leads, a specially constructed processing tool is used to downwardly bias the leads simultaneously against the lead elements 102.
When downward force is exerted on the portion of the leads over the slotted regions 120, the lead insulation in those regions are stripped away, the stripped portion of the leads are inserted deeper into the slotted regions 120 and the leads are then severed to the appropriate length by the distal edge of the slotted regions 120. It should be noted that in one embodiment of the perforations I 16, the diameter of the slotted regions 120 of each of the perforations 1 I6 are sized to form an interference fit with the leads inserted therein;
however, bonding and electrical contact between the leads and leadframe element 102 may be accomplished by a variety of other techniques such as eutectic soldering, adhesives, or thermal compression bonding.
The circular regions 118 of each of the perforations 116 shown in Figure 4 act as a stress relief for the lead between the edge of the guide channels I08 and the interference fit (or bonded joint, as discussed below) in the slotted regions 120. A small "loop" of lead is ultimately formed in the circular regions I 18 of each of the perforations 116 when the leadframe element 102 is deformed upward during final component assembly processing.
In this manner, thermal or physical stresses on the lead are mitigated, thereby increasing the lead's longevity and overall component reliability.
Figure 8 depicts one embodiment of a laser source for stripping the insulation of the component leads. The perforations 1 I6 are used as a template or mask for laser energy that is used to strip the insulation from the positioned lead. Such a technique is useful when utilizing leads whose insulation is not heat-strippable. Specifically, a beam of laser energy 150 from a laser source I52 incident on the underside of the leadframe element 102 acts to strip insulation from the leads I24 in the region of the perforations 116 only.
Controlled stripping of the leads 124 only near the electrical junction to the leadframe 104 helps prevent shorting of the leads in other areas. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable from a cost or processing standpoint to laser-strip the insulation from the bottom of the leads 124 in the region of the perforations 116 prior to joint formation, as opposed to having the edges of the perforations 116 strip the insulation as was previously described.
Method of Manufacturing Figures 9a through 9i depict the component cannier in various states of manufacture. First, portions of the leadfiame 104 are bent upward to receive the component carrier I00 (Figures 9a and 9b). The component carrier 100 is then molded onto the leadframe 104 to foam a single unit (Figure 9c). Next, at least one microelectronic component 122, such as a toroid is inserted into the Garner 100 (Figure 9d). Optionally, the microelectronic component may be bonded the component to the carrier 100. The component leads 124 of the component are routed through their respective guide channels 108, alignment slots 105, and over the perforations I 16. Next, a special processing tool presses a plurality of component leads 124 simultaneously into their respective perforations 116, thereby severing the leads 124 to the desired length (Figure 9e). The leadframe dambars 126 and outer frame 128 are removed (Figure 9fj, and the leads 124 are optionally bonded to the lead elements 102. The lead elements 102 are then deformed upward so as to roughly conform with the sides of the component carrier 100 (Figures 9g and 9h). Finally, if a mufti-package leadframe 104 was selected, each of the dies in the package are separated (Figure 9i).
It should be noted that as a result of implementing this process, no encapsulation of the Garner 100 or leadframe 104 is required, thereby further reducing the processing necessary to manufacture the device and providing accessibility to the microelectronic component 122. Furthermore, many of the steps in the disclosed process may be performed simultaneously or even in different sequence than that set forth above, while still accomplishing the desired results of reduced package size and reduced processing.
Figure 10 depicts one embodiment of a processing tool 130 used for simultaneously inserting the component leads 124 into the leadframe perforations 116.
The microelectronic component leads 124 are inserted into their respective perforations 116 and severed after lead routing through the use of the processing tool 130.
The processing tool 130 has a base section 132 and a top section 134 which cooperate during processing to insert and sever the leads 124. The base sectiorf'132 has a recess 136 into which one or more component carriers 100 fit, the recess being sized to mitigate lateral motion of the component carriers) 100 within the recess. The top section 134 also has a recess 137 into which the top portion of the component carrier 100 fits when the base section 132 and top section 130 sections are joined. A series of downward protruding elements 138 on the top section 134 of the tool are sized and aligned so as to fit over the perforations 116 in the lead elements 102 when the component carrier 100 is cradled in the recesses 136, 137 and the base and top sections 132, 134 are joined. In this manner, the component carrier 100 v~ith pre-routed leads 124 is inserted into the base section recess _g_ 7 PCTlUS98/20262 -136, and then the top section 134 is aligned with and pressed down over the carrier 100.
As previously discussed, the downward pressure of the protruding elements 138 on the leads 124 (i) strips the insulation from the leads 124, (ii) severs the leads 124 to the desired length, and (iii) inserts the severed leads 124 into the perforations 116. One embodiment of the processing tool 130 can be used to process four component carriers 100 simultaneously (up to thirty-six separate leads), although it can be appreciated that other configurations are possible.
While the above detailed description has shown, described, and pointed out the fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to various embodiments, it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions, and changes in the form and details of the device or process illustrated may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
