Photochemically etched lead frames
Custom-designed, photochemically etched surface-mount and insert-mount lead frames for integrated circuit manufacturing are now available. The frame’s base materials include Kovar, nickel-iron alloys, copper alloys, and pure nickel. The lead frames can be plated entirely or selectively with silver, nickel, gold, or tin, depending on the customer’s specific electrical and thermal conductivity requirements.
