Abstract
A semiconductor package for power transistors and the like has a heat sink flange with at least one die mounted thereon, a non-ceramic based window frame mounted thereon adjacent the die, and a plurality of leads mounted on the window frame and electrically coupled to the die by wire bonds. The non-ceramic based window frame is thermally matched to copper or other highly conductive material typically used for the flange, to facilitate assembly of the semiconductor package at high temperatures. The non-ceramic based window frame is flexible and is thermally matched to the highly conductive flange so as to expand and contract at a rate similar to the flange to prevent failure during assembly of the semiconductor package. The non-ceramic based material of the window frame includes a matrix of principally organic material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, filled with fibers which may be glass fibers or ceramic fibers. The matrix is clad in a metal such as copper or aluminum, and may be coated with nickel and gold to facilitate bonding of the window frame to the flange and the leads with gold/germanium solder. The window frame may also be bonded to the flange using epoxy. Cladding of the window frame may be performed by laminating copper or other cladding metal on the matrix in a sufficient thickness so as to form the flange. The flange may be provided with a pedestal extending upwardly from an upper surface at a central portion thereof to define a die attach area and forming a barrier to brazing material used to join the window frame to the flange.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
