LeadFrame Overview and Custom-LeadFrame Benefits
February 18, 2013
The name leadframe (or lead-frame) is actually very accurate.
Leadframe is an alloy frame that consists of the package leads and the paddle. The silicon die is attached on the paddle and the leads are connected to the die with wirebonds. That’s it.
In the following photo you can see the paddle (center) which is typically used for ground signal and many leads around the package stretching from the package edge to a point where the wirebonder can reach.
