MicroLeadFrame® (MLF® / QFN / DFN / LFCSP)

Leadframe CSP - High Performance, Cost Efficient

MLF / Microleadframe IC PackageAmkor'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

MLF Offerings:

  • Chip-on-Lead (COL)
  • Dual Row (Up to 164 I/O)
  • Multi Chip Package
  • Non-Exposed Pad
  • PPF (NiPd) Punch MLF
  • Small MLF (Less than 2 x 2 body size)
  • Solder Die Attach
  • Stacked Die
  • Thin MicroLeadFrame
  • Top Exposed Pad (TEP)

Dual Row MLF Package:

An MLF® package with 2 rows of lands — a cost effective, high performance solution for devices requiring up to 164 I/O. Typical applications include hard disk drives, USB controllers, and Wireless LAN.

Applications:

The small size and weight along with excellent thermal and electrical performance make the MicroLeadFrame® package an ideal choice for handheld portable applications such as cell phones and PDAs or any other application where size, weight and package performance are required issues.

Features:

  • Small size (reduce package footprint by 50% or more and improved RF performance) & weight
  • Standard leadframe process flow and equipment
  • Excellent thermal and electrical performance
  • 0.6 mm to 1.5 mm maximum height
  • 4 to 164 I/O
  • 1 - 12 mm Body size
  • Thin profile and superior die to body size ratio
  • Pb Free / Green
  • Flexible Designs and High Yields
