An electronic package is provided and uses a plurality of bonding wires as a shielding structure. The bonding wires are stitch bonded onto a carrier carrying electronic components, such that the problem of the shielding structure peeling off or falling off from the carrier can be avoided due to the fact that the bonding wires are not affected by temperature, humidity and other environmental factors.

A first signal electrode and a second signal electrode are connected by a first wire, a first ground electrode and a fourth ground electrode are connected by a second wire, and a second ground electrode and a third ground electrode are connected by a third wire. The second wire and the third wire cross at only one position above the first wire.

Packaged semiconductor assemblies including interconnect structures and methods for forming such interconnect structures are disclosed herein. One embodiment of a packaged semiconductor assembly includes a support member having a first bond-site and a die carried by the support member having a second bond-site. An interconnect structure is connected between the first and second bond-sites and includes a wire that is coupled to at least one of the first and second bond-sites. The interconnect structure also includes a third bond-site coupled to the wire between the first and second bond-sites.

A method of improving electrical interconnections between two electrical is made available by providing a meta-material overlay in conjunction with the electrical interconnection. The meta-material overlay is designed to make the electrical signal propagating via the electrical interconnection to act as though the permittivity and permeability of the dielectric medium within which the electrical interconnection is formed are different than the real component permittivity and permeability of the dielectric medium surrounding the electrical interconnection. In some instances the permittivity and permeability resulting from the meta-material cause the signal to propagate as if the permittivity and permeability have negative values. Accordingly the method provides for electrical interconnections possessing enhanced control and stability of impedance, reduced noise, and reduced loss. Alternative embodiments of the meta-material overlay provide, the enhancements for conventional discrete wire bonds whilst also facilitating single integrated designs compatible with tape implementation.

An electrical circuit in a semiconductor package may include a wire connected at each end by a bond point formed using a wire-bonding machine. When a connection point (e.g., a die pad) has a very small dimension, the wire used for the circuit may be required to have a similarly small diameter. This small diameter can lead to a weak bond point, especially in bonds that include a heel portion. The heel portion is a transition region of the bond point that may have less strength (e.g., as measure by a pull-test) than other portions of the bond point and/or may be exposed to more forces than other portions of the bond point. Accordingly, a capping-bond point may be applied to the bond point to strengthen the bond point by clamping the heel portion and shielding it from forces that could cause cracks.

A non-leaded semiconductor device comprises a sealing body for sealing a semiconductor chip, a tab in the interior of the sealing body, suspension leads for supporting the tab, leads having respective surfaces exposed to outer edge portions of a back surface of the sealing body, and wires connecting pads formed on the semiconductor chip and the leads. End portions of the suspension leads positioned in an outer periphery portion of the sealing body are unexposed to the back surface of the sealing body, but are covered with the sealing body. Stand-off portions of the suspending leads are not formed in resin molding. When cutting the suspending leads, corner portions of the back surface of the sealing body are supported by a flat portion of a holder portion in a cutting die having an area wider than a cutting allowance of the suspending leads, whereby chipping of the resin is prevented.

A semiconductor device (4a-4d) and a wiring device (5) are provided on a main surface of a base plate (1). A first wire (11a-11e) connects an external electrode (7a-7e) and a first relay pad (8a-8e) of the wiring device (5). A second wire (12a-12e) connects a pad (13a-13e) of the semiconductor device (4a-4d) and the second relay pad (9a-9e) of the wiring device (5). Resin (15) seals the semiconductor device (4a-4d), the wiring device (5) and the first and second wires (11a-11e,12a-12e). The second wire (12a-12e) is thinner than the first wire (11a-11e). The pad (13a-13e) is smaller than the first relay pad (8a-8e).

A semiconductor device includes a substrate and a semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor element on a first surface thereof. The semiconductor chip is provided on the substrate such that a second surface thereof, which is opposite to the first surface, faces an upper surface of the substrate. A metal layer is provided between the second surface of the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the substrate. A metal material, in which the range of rays is shorter than for single-crystal silicon, is used in the metal layer.

An optical image capturing module includes a lens assembly and a circuit assembly including a carrier board, a circuit substrate and an image sensing component. The circuit substrate disposed on the carrier hoard has a hole and multiple circuit contacts. The image sensing component disposed on the carrier board is located in the hole, and has a sensing surface and multiple image contacts. Each image contact is electrically connected to circuit contacts via signal transmission elements. The lens assembly includes a lens group and a lens base disposed on the carrier board or the circuit substrate. The lens base has a receiving hole penetrating through two ends thereof, thereby the lens base is hollow. The image sensing component directly faces the receiving hole. The lens group includes at least two lenses having refractive power, and is disposed on the lens base and is located in the receiving hole.

A first signal electrode and a second signal electrode are connected by a first wire, a first ground electrode and a fourth ground electrode are connected by a second wire, and a second ground electrode and a third ground electrode are connected by a third wire. The second wire and the third wire cross at only one position above the first wire.
