Lead frame and a method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A plurality of inner leads, a plurality of outer leads formed in one with each of the inner lead, a bar lead of the square ring shape arranged inside a plurality of inner leads, a corner part lead which has been arranged between the inner leads of the end portion of the inner lead groups which adjoin among four inner lead groups corresponding to each side of the bar lead, and was connected with the bar lead, and a tape member joined to the tip part of each inner lead, a bar lead, and a corner part lead are included. Since the corner part lead is formed as an object for reinforcement of a frame body between adjoining inner lead groups, the rigidity of the lead frame can be increased.

1 . A manufacturing method of a lead frame having a plurality of inner leads, a plurality of outer leads formed in one with this, and a sheet member joined to a tip part of each inner lead, comprising the steps of:
 (a) preparing a frame body in which tip parts of the inner leads are mutually formed in one by a first connection part, and flattening of a wire connection surface of each inner lead;   (b) preparing the sheet member which is formed in a shape corresponding to a plurality of inner lead rows, and includes a metal plate, an insulating first adhesive layer arranged at a surface side, and an insulating second adhesive layer harder than this first adhesive layer;   (c) sticking a tip part of each of the inner leads and the first connection part, and the sheet member; and   (d) after the step (c), removing the first connection part from the frame body by punching and cutting the first connection part using a punch along tip parts of the inner leads;   wherein in the step (c), the inner lead and the sheet member are stuck making a surface at a side of burr formation of the inner lead contact to at least the first adhesive layer of the sheet member.
