The purpose of the present invention is to improve the pressure resistance of a cavity in a semiconductor sensor device employing a resin package, and to do so without adversely affecting the embeddability of an electrically conductive member. The semiconductor sensor device has a gap 1a sealed in an airtight manner inside a laminate structure of a plurality of laminated substrates 1, 4, and 5, and has a structure in which the outside of the laminate structure is covered by a resin, wherein a platy component 2 having at least one side that is greater in length than the length of one side of the gap 1a along this side is arranged to the outside of an upper wall 1b of the gap 1, the upper wall 1b of the gap being mechanically suspended by the platy component 2.

A method is provided. The method includes one or more of extracting a die from an original packaged integrated circuit, modifying the extracted die, reconditioning the modified extracted die, placing the reconditioned die into a cavity of a hermetic package base, bonding a plurality of bond wires between reconditioned die pads of the reconditioned die to leads of the hermetic package base or downbonds to create an assembled hermetic package base, and sealing a hermetic package lid to the assembled hermetic package base to create a new packaged integrated circuit. Modifying the extracted die includes removing the one or more ball bonds on the one or more die pads. Reconditioning the modified extracted die includes adding a sequence of metallic layers to bare die pads of the modified extracted die. The extracted die is a fully functional semiconductor die with one or more ball bonds on one or more die pads of the extracted die.

Provided is a package device, relating to the technical field of lamp beads. The package device comprises an SMD holder, wherein the SMD holder is a hollow housing with one end opened; and the material of sidewalls of the SMD holder is transparent plastic. In the package device provided by the present invention, a transparent material is provided as the material of the sidewalls of the SMD holder, and light generated after a chip is powered on can be partially transmitted out through the sidewalls of the SMD holder, avoiding blocking of the light generated after the chip is powered on by the sidewalls of the SMD holder, thereby increasing transmittance of light from the chip.

In a semiconductor device, a thinly-molded portion covering a whole of a heat dissipating surface portion of a lead frame and a die pad space filled portion are integrally molded from a second mold resin, because of which adhesion between the thinly-molded portion and lead frame improves owing to the die pad space filled portion adhering to a side surface of the lead frame. Also, as the thinly-molded portion is partially thicker owing to the die pad space filled portion, strength of the thinly-molded portion increases, and a deficiency or cracking is unlikely to occur.

Disclosed is a rectifierless light string that uses bidirectional LEDs. Each LED is illuminated on both the positive and the negative portion of an AC signal so that the AC signal does not have to be rectified. In addition, LEDs are mounted on LED holder plugs, which are designed to allow the LEDs and bypass resistors to be automatically inserted in the LED holder plug. The LED holder plugs are inserted into a light string socket that contains a shunt switch that provides a conduction path when the LED holder plug is not firmly inserted in the light string socket. In this manner, conduction can occur in the light string when the LED holder plug is dislodged.
