MicroLeadFrame ® (MLF ® / QFN / DFN / LFCSP)
Leadframe CSP - High Performance, Cost Efficient
Amkor's MicroLeadFrame® (QFN - Quad Flat No-Lead package) is a near CSP plastic encapsulated package with a copper leadframe substrate. This package uses perimeter lands on the bottom of the package to provide electrical contact to the PWB. The package also offers Amkor's ExposedPadTM technology as a thermal enhancement by having the die attach paddle exposed on the bottom of the package surface to provide an efficient heat path when soldered directly to the PWB. This enhancement also enables stable ground by use of down bonds or by electrical connection through a conductive die attach material. TAPP
