SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

A semiconductor component having a semiconductor chip mounted on a packaging substrate and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor component that uses batch processing steps for fabricating the packaging substrate. A heatsink is formed using an injection molding process. The heatsink has a front surface for mating with a semiconductor chip and a leadframe assembly. The heatsink also has a back surface from which a plurality of fins extend. The leadframe assembly includes a leadframe having leadframe leads extending from opposing sides of the leadframe to a central area of the leadframe. A liquid crystal polymer is disposed in a ring-shaped pattern on the leadframe leads. The liquid-crystal polymer is partially cured. The leadframe assembly is mounted on the front surface of the heatsink and the liquid crystal polymer is further cured to form a packaging assembly, which is then singulated into packaging substrates.
