Plastic near Chip Scale Package with a leadframe substrate

Amkor’s MicroLeadFrame® (MLF®|MLP|LFCSP|VQFN|SON|DFN|QFN – Quad Flat No-Lead package) is a near Chip Scale Package (CSP), plastic encapsulated with a copper leadframe substrate. This package uses perimeter lands on the bottom of the package to provide electrical contact to the Printed Wiring Board (PWB).

The MicroLeadFrame package also offers Amkor’s ExposedPad technology as a thermal enhancement. Having the die-attach paddle exposed on the bottom of the package surface provides an efficient heat path when soldered directly to the PWB. This enhancement also enables stable ground using down bonds or by electrical connection through a conductive die attach material.

The small size and weight along with excellent thermal and electrical performance make the MicroLeadFrame package an ideal choice for handheld portable applications such as smartphones and tablets or any other application where size, weight and package performance are required.
