Abstract

Abstract An improved electric device and a manufacturing method for the same is described. The device is for example an IC chip clothed with molding. The IC chip is mounted on a lead frame by means of an adhesive such as a glass-type silver paste which discharges little amount of gases and the rear surface of the lead frame is covered with an antioxidation film of silicon nitride.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 93 words
An electric device comprising: a leadframe made of a meal or alloy; an electronic part mounted on a surface of said leadframe by using an adhesive; and an enclosure made of an organic material enclosing said electronic part, wherein the adhesion of said organic material to said leadframe is enhanced by using a glass-type silver paste as said adhesive and by forming an antioxidation film on a back surface of the leadframe which is opposite to the surface on which said electronic part is mounted and wherein said antioxidation film is 300-4000Å thick.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 93 words
An electric device comprising: a leadframe made of a meal or alloy; an electronic part mounted on a surface of said leadframe by using an adhesive; and an enclosure made of an organic material enclosing said electronic part, wherein the adhesion of said organic material to said leadframe is enhanced by using a glass-type silver paste as said adhesive and by forming an antioxidation film on a back surface of the leadframe which is opposite to the surface on which said electronic part is mounted and wherein said antioxidation film is 300-4000Å thick.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said antioxidation film is selected from the group consisting of silicon nitride, silicon carbide and diamond like carbon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 13 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said electronic part is an IC chip.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 13 words
