Abstract
Abstract A lead frame for enclosing a semiconductor chip with resin has a plurality of leads and at least one side frame member for supporting the leads. The lead frame is formed at a required location with a resin adhering portion for effectively removing resin and fins solidified in the air vent of a molding apparatus and formed between the lead frame and the dies of the apparatus.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
An improved method of removing resin from an air vent for a cavity provided between two dies of the type in which a semiconductor chip is located on a lead frame having a portion of the lead frame disposed adjacent the air vent and the semiconductor chip is enclosed in resin by injection of a liquid resin into the cavity and air vent, the improvement comprising the steps of: initially forming a resin adhering surface on at least the portion of the lead frame; adhering the resin to the resin adhering surface during the enclosing of the semiconductor chip; and subsequently removing the solidified resin in the air vent with the lead frame as the resin preferentially adheres to the resin adhering surface of the lead frame.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
An improved method of removing resin from an air vent for a cavity provided between two dies of the type in which a semiconductor chip is located on a lead frame having a portion of the lead frame disposed adjacent the air vent and the semiconductor chip is enclosed in resin by injection of a liquid resin into the cavity and air vent, the improvement comprising the steps of: initially forming a resin adhering surface on at least the portion of the lead frame; adhering the resin to the resin adhering surface during the enclosing of the semiconductor chip; and subsequently removing the solidified resin in the air vent with the lead frame as the resin preferentially adheres to the resin adhering surface of the lead frame.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
An improved method of removing resin as claimed in claim 1 wherein said forming step includes the step of forming at least one groove in the portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
An improved method of removing resin as claimed in claim 1 wherein said forming step includes the roughening of the portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
68 words
An improved method of removing resin as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lead frame includes front and rear surfaces including a gate area adjacent a gate of the die through which the resin is introduced into the cavity, and wherein said forming step includes the forming of a resin adhering surface on all of the front and surfaces of the lead frame except for the gate area.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
An improved method of removing resin as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lead frame includes a plurality of leads and a pair of side frame members for supporting the leads, and wherein said forming step includes the forming of the resin adhering surface on the entire surface of one of the side frame members.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
An improved method of removing resin as claimed in claim 5 wherein the lead frame includes tie bars connecting adjacent leads and side frame members, and wherein the forming step includes the forming of resin adhering surfaces on each of the tie bars.
