Abstract
Abstract A method for correctly positioning a metallic plate supporting a semiconductor chip in a mold used for encapsulation, wherein according to a first solution, at least a pair of retractable locating pins are utilized together with a lead connected to the supporting plate. The ends of the locating pins are retracted in the final phase of encapsulation, from the surfaces of the plate, whereas in the initial phase they are in direct contact with the surfaces. According to a second solution, a pair of clamping pins are indirectly connected to the plate through the interposition of insulating thicknessings.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A method for manufacturing a plastic encapsulated semiconductor device which comprises placing a semiconductor chip disposed on a metallic plate within a mold cavity, said metallic plate serving as both an electrode and as a heat sink, said metallic plate being provided at one end portion with a lead which extends from said mold cavity, providing retractable ejector pins from opposite sides of the mold cavity and into contact with the opposite sides of the other end portion of the metallic plate, introducing a polymerizable plastic material into mold cavity, withdrawing the ejector pins before the plastic material begins to polymerize, further introducing the polymerizable plastic material into the space vacated by the ejector pins, and removing the encapsulated semiconductor device from the mold cavity.
Claim 2

Claim 3
Independent Claim
117 words
A method for manufacturing a plastic encapsulated semiconductor device which comprises: inserting a thermoplastic nail into at least one hole present in a plate supporting a semiconductor chip, said metallic plate serving as both an electrode and as a heat sink, riveting the ends of said thermoplastic nail to fix the nail to the metallic plate, placing said metallic plate and supported semiconductor chip within the cavity of a mold provided with at least a pair of clamping pins extending from opposite sides of the cavity and so located as to contact the opposite sides of said nail, introducing a polymerizable plastic material into the mold cavity, and removing the encapsulated semiconductor device from the mold cavity.
