A device for encapsulating plastic material of a frame of the conductors of the circuit integrated and method of encapsulating.

摘要

An apparatus for encapsulating an integrated circuit lead frame in plastic is disclosed. This apparatus includes an upper mold and a lower mold which, when properly joined together, define the package area of the lead frame as well as a reservoir for the molten plastic and a conduit and flow pocket for assuring uniform flow of plastic into the package area of the molds. The integrated circuit lead frame has a flow hole to allow the molten plastic to flow from the conduit into the flow pocket and into the bottom portion of the package area. The conduit also allows the molten plastic to flow directly to the top portion of the package area. With the plastic being more uniformly injected into both (top and bottom) package or cavity areas at once, the likelihood of air pockets, and to overcome wiresweep cavities and other imperfections in the final plastic package is reduced.
