  • Abstract
    Quad flat no-lead (QFN) packages have found wide applications in RF and high-speed digital systems. The purpose of this paper is to study high-frequency performance of conventional low-cost QFN packages, and the impact of various parameters. Physical insight of the bond wires and leadframe are presented through full-wave simulation study. Critical parameters are identified and their effects are evaluated at frequencies up to 20 GHz.
