Zusammenfassung:A duo-cavity multigang pot molding assembly (10) for encapsulating semiconductor devices having an annular cavity (11) to form a molded carrier ring and an inner cavity (12) adapted to receive the item to be encapsulated. An outer mold pot (16) provides encapsulating material for the annular cavity (11) whereas a separate mold pot (17) provides encapsulating material for the inner cavity (12). Encapsulating material for the mold pots (16, 17) may be the same or in a preferred embodiment, different. Molding apparatus (10) promotes improved process control by delivering encapsulating material with a lower and more uniform viscosity to both the annular cavity (11) and the inner cavity (12). Further, use of separate mold pots (16, 17) allows cost savings because a less expensive encapsulating material may be used for molding the molded carrier ring since a high purity encapsulating material is not needed.
