Abstract

See full text

An interference interlock between leadframe features and a mold compound is provided in a packaged semiconductor device by exposing at least one predetermined surface area to an etching process prior to a molding step. This produces an etched recess with a recessed wall delimited by a step wall, generally perpendicular and adjacent to the recessed wall. The step wall is partially undercut by etching. During the molding step, the recessed wall and the step wall are both contacted by and embedded in the molding compound.
